Title: Where is the oil drain plug?
Post by seb481 on 06/28/09 at 18:15:00

When you're done laughing at my stupid question, would you mind telling me where the oil drain plug is?

I looked at the manual and can't figure out where it is exactly.

If I lay down on the left side of the bike, I see an horizontal screw that might be it but I'm not sure.

Here is a picture I took of what I think might be it.

not a dumb question...the horizontal plug is semi-hidden and not mounted the way you would normally expect.

Your picture looks right.

Yes I saw this great guide but I still was confused about the plug. I got it now! Can't wait to do that tomorrow. It's gonna be my first real mechanical project :)

oh, forgot to tell you:

draining your oil boiling hot is best, just be careful, wear a glove!

for the savage I like mobile 1 synthetic (expensive, $9) or motul ($5),
but most oils are fine for this particular bike; you will need 2 liters and
check your oil level OFTEN, some savages burn (eat) oil w/normal operation;
I personally use motul, pennzoil or castrol, whatever, it burns it anyway.

Here is a look at the drain plug on my bike (see signature) taken while the bike was on my lift:
