RE: oil drain

13mm hex nut, black in color.

You can also remove both and see which one releases some type of dark sticky liquid.

:mrgreen:
 
RE: oil drain

dont see a black hex bolt anywhere on the engine.... and now its frikkin raining... will try again in the morning if some help comes my way....
 
Yes, on the right side of the engine. One plug is the oil drain, and the other is the oil screen.

It is a 13mm head, but it isn't black, except on Froggy's bike, I guess.
 
just to be sure.. 2 bolts side by side next to the rear brake..one looks like it has a washer , the other does not.. i know its probably not a washer , but it looks like it has one....
 
Yup, it is black on the 01. They changed the color, hmmm.... Probably to use a KTM part.

Did not mean to be sarcastic, but if you undo one, you have 50% changes to drain the oil and 50% to do nothing specifically bad.
 
10-4 ... its raining now and i have to leave for work , but will atempt to become less ******** in the morning..... thanks for the help..
 
One's a magnetic plug and the other holds the oil screen.
Personally I'd take them both out on uypour model but since mines an 03 it only has 1.
Both would drain the oil.
 
Take note as to which way the oil screen comes out. One end is larger than the other and it should only go in one way.
Don't over fill with oil, do a search.
 
mine was easy to find! someone had painted it red,as well as the filter cover!! if in doubt undo anything...it will be like a world of mechanical discovery and a giggle to boot!
