Kickstand side 14mm. At least that's the size on the FireLizard.

depending on year 14mm for newer and 17 for older

kick stand side just rearward of the peg

place handle forward and push down. ;D

there's an owners manual here some place, good reading if you're completely lost.

By the way,

The only stupid question is the one that is NOT asked.

just great.......the wingnut that owned the bike either used the power of odin himself to tighten that plug or he crossed it while putting it in either way it looks like i have a new mission.............argghhhh serenity now..................

there are a lot of threads on that plug, replace it with a magnetic plug.

lokjaw777,
Look in the tech section, and seach "drain plug", then select all posts. There are some good pictures in there. I believe Savage Greg posted a step by step on oil change.
You are correct, it is on the kickstand side, rear of the peg, and should be a 14mm. I found it actually easier to access from the exhaust side, reaching under the bike to the plug, rather than trying to do it from the kickstand side.

Yes & a box end on it, held down & spanked on will break it loose easier than just pushing on it. Maybe a friend with a cheater, by interlocking a wrench into the 14 MM? Better still, a small piece of pipe.
