umm....i can change the oil on my 86 with a huge 17mm wrench on my gravel(i use the term 'gravel' loosely....big friggin rocks) driveway.  On the kickstand.  Hot.

Am I doing it wrong?  Or are you guys changing the oil on a completely different bike?

I just do it on the sidestand in my garage but my drain plug is 15mm, I think.  Anyway, no problems.

The "Poor Man's Bike Stand" and a floor jack work real well.

Ah, Rob, it should be a 14 MM on yours Tongue

That's probably right.  I just remembered it was smaller than the 17mm mentioned in the manual.  I think my magnetic plug is the same size as my OEM plug (which is the 14mm).  Now I'll need to check just for the heck of it.
