oil changing

Hi could someone send me a picture of the oil drainplugs? I have a digital version of the manual but the pictures are very bad and I want to change the oil. I imagine that a technical person knows where it is but Im a Noob. I have a 650 maxim and I already got a lot of oil out. I didn't measure it yet but that is a good idea. thanks

 

I do not have a picture, and I also am new at this, but I just drained my oil 4 days ago, and have the same poor photo.
Assuming you have a Seca 750, the 2 bolts are in front of engine, between the exhaust; the lower bolt is the drain plug, the other is the oil filter.
I never found the "middle plug" but it took the correct amount of oil to refill it.
Hope it helps some,
Mike

 

Thanks Mike I edited my post some and I also found the frontplug and removed it. I'm wandering if all the old oil has come out and measuring is the only answer.

 

Consensus here is to not worry about the middle gear plug. There is a very small amount of oil and it's too easy to damage that plug or the threads in the crankcase.

If you remove the plug which faces forward, just below the oil filter housing, almost all the oil will come out. Just do that one.

 

Thanks Then I have the job completed now I just have to fill it up again

 

You can overfill slightly. Should be just ABOVE the upper mark next to the sight glass, but with a "bubble" showing at the top.

Slight overfill keeps the "low oil" warning light happy during hard acceleration.

 

The other reason for leaving the slight bubble in the window is IF it ever disappears, then you know that gasoline made it into the crank case, and you have carb float repairs and petcock troubles to tend to.

And an oil change to be safe.
