oil change ?

[kingdomstyle]

is there more than one drain plug? how do you change oil on these? thanks

[Mustang]

there's only one plug
some have an allen head plug some have a hex head bolt same with the oil filter housing .
pretty simple to do unscrew  plug , drain oil , put plug backin . remove the finned cover on bottom right corner the filter will come out with it . replace the filter put cover back on .
fill with 4 quarts of oil of your choice .
start it and check for leaks to make sure you didnt bugger the oring on the filter cover . repeat 6000 miles later .......................

All the filters I buy come with the o-ring, but in every case the o-ring has been the wrong size.

Get a new crush washer for this plug.  I have tried to reuse the crush washers and had a leak each time.  YMMV.

I had the same problem when i first got mine.
Removed the oil filter and wondered why the oil wouldn`t drain out.
Then i found the plug :oops:

All my previous bikes never had a plug, just drained from the filter.

Experienced the same, used the old o-ring.
This is the filter;

Also for the oil and dust seals of the forks, the seals i reveived were 1 mm smaller in diameter. I think there is a diameter difference between Showa and Kayaba. Is there ?..

I bought the original Triumph filter, no problems with the O-rings....

[kingdomstyle]

i have a k an n oil filter how those orings fit

[Mustang]

never used a k&n , but every other brand of filter I have used , the big oring is too big ........seems only the triumph filter for enormous money is the only one with the right o rings
you can usually reuse the old ones as long as they are not stretched out .
