Title: Can't Locate 2007 S40 Oil Drain Plug Post by frankg on 07/20/11 at 11:41:00 Are there any good photos, or illustrations, that show where the oil drain plug is for a 2007 S40? I've seen some text that says where it is, but I'm still having trouble finding the darn thing. HELP!!! |

Title: Re: Can't Locate 2007 S40 Oil Drain Plug Post by frankg on 07/20/11 at 11:48:18 Looked at that posting "Oil Change Time". Looks like the drain plug is between the engine & the frame. Is that right?? |

Title: Re: Can't Locate 2007 S40 Oil Drain Plug Post by justin_o_guy2 on 08/15/11 at 20:15:58 Find it with your eyeballs, then go to the other side & reach under the bike, hang the wrench on it so its pointed to the front tire, drive down,, |

Title: Re: Can't Locate 2007 S40 Oil Drain Plug Post by babyhog on 08/16/11 at 19:01:37 I changed my oil this evening. I think it would be great if the pic that Digger posted could be added to the main oil change thread. It gives a much better perspective of where the plug is. I was glad to find it, so thanks Digger. Oh, my '06 took the 14mm wrench. |

Title: Re: Can't Locate 2007 S40 Oil Drain Plug Post by Boofer on 08/16/11 at 19:01:37 Turn the front wheel to the left and lie down on the leftside of the bike with the wheel behind your head. There it is. If you are left handed, sorry. Adapt and overcome. I use a ratcheting wrench and just bump it tight with my left hand. Only takes a bump to remove. |

Title: Re: Can't Locate 2007 S40 Oil Drain Plug Post by MotoBuddha on 08/17/11 at 05:25:55 Also, if you want, look at the right side of the bike where the oil filter is. There's a ridge on the side cover running from the filter area to the bottom of the side cover. There's a bolt at the end of that ridge. If you remove that bolt, it drains some of the oil filter cavity so there's a little less mess when you go to change the filter. Oh, and since the main drain hole is horizontal, the oil will pour out slightly to the side instead of straight down, so make sure your catch pan is in the right place to allow for that. Since the bike is lower to the ground than most purpose-made catch pans, I use a large cake pan. |

Title: Re: Can't Locate 2007 S40 Oil Drain Plug Post by justin_o_guy2 on 08/17/11 at 07:59:23 I also have a retired cake pan, |
