Ok what kind of tool do I need to get the oil plug out. Again the clymer manual no good.  A 17mm socket won't fit. So I geuss there is a tool that came with the bike,tools that I didn't get with the bike.
Sorry for the stupid question,,,!

The oil plug is either a 17mm or 14mm wrench.

I would reccomend a combo wrench.  Place the box end on the plug.  To remove place the open end as far forward as it will go.  Then push down.  For extra leverage, slip the box end of a bigger wrench over the open end.

The oil filter is underneath a cover secured with socket head hex bolts.

Thank you all very much.  I'm getting so tierd working on this thing. the people that owned it before me made a mess out of the bike I've been putting everything back where it suposed to go for three weeks now.

Yes  I didn't look at it that way. Ha!   I can take it all the why down to the tires and frame in a flash now. I have never knew a bike as well as I know this one now. When I got down to change the oil and saw where they put that drain plug I almost lost it though.. Thanks for all the help. I don't think there is a better place than this for any bike. I don't know how well I'll like the Savage yet but I love this forum...
