for me its such a small weep that a once year pump out is as i say a less messy way of changing the oil so im happry to live with it.
infact happy to have found this way of being able to oil change at all, otherwise would have had to tackle the exhaust issue !!
Even though these other 2 bikes I've mentioned about have your issue and have gone through a few oil changers. I still wouldn't recommend you do it long term and stated it's a get around. You will get the vast majority of the oil out if you tip the bike enough, even if you don't you'll still replacing 80-90% plus of the oil and if you change it within the service specs your be fine.
All that said the sump bolt leek will slowly get worse, hence 1 of the others having their sump bolt bonded in. As I told those other two owners, you need to either replace the sump bolt with a OE using what's left of the thread if possible or get the sump repaired/ replaced.
