oil not draining
11/22/06 at 05:31:47

I was changing the oil adn filter last night in my 02 savage and got very little oil out when I pulled the drain plug. I checked the sight glass before I pulled it and it was okay. I got less than a pint, even with the bike level. I let it drain overnight and not much more came out. So I fired it up and let it pump out as much as I thought safe. The manual says it should hold just over two quarts, but I still don't think I got over two quarts out of it. Anybody else have this happen?

Impossible to get to without a box end wrench. I didn't see one on the left side by the kickstand but I'll look again.

A heck of a lot cheaper than what could have happened running up your engine trying to pump out the last vestiges of oil in the crankcase.
