[QUOTE="gixxerjasen, post: 987843, member: 20220"] Whew! I've read too many stories about guys losing the oil drain plug and oil going right down into the path of the tire and then coating the tire and down they go. That drain plug, while not in line with the tire, sure is too close to ignore a careful inspection. Sure would suck to worry about trashing the final drive from no oil only to trash the entire bike on your first left hand turn! :D And heck, while we are at it, gotta love how an FJR can run just fine with no oil in the final drive but a BMW will spontaneously combust even if recently serviced. FJR's RULE!!! :yahoo: [/QUOTE]
