Title: Quick drain oil plug
Post by: Kenbob on 04 February 2017, 10:38:12 pm

anyone using one of these on your thou, considering one for mine, are they leak free and as easy to use as they claim to be.

Interesting idea, I'd be happier using this on a bike that had a bottom mounted sump plug. With the Fazer I tend to leave the bike on the side stand for a while as it always seems to have a small flow of oil once the initial gush is over with and a wander if the internals of this plug would interfere with all of the oil draining out, perhaps it wouldn't matter in the scheme of things if a few cc's of old oil remained, just throwing it out there.

Yes that's the one.
There are a couple of companies that make versions of a quick plug but this one looks  to be the best looking.

i bought a stahlbus for my gen2, it didn't fit!

Will put it on the FZR1000 when I do the next oil change, as it should fit.
