Really a pretty easy job, was my first one as my dealer did the first one for me for free. In fact, it took me longer to clean up the old oil I dumped all over the floor thanks to my aluminum foil guide not being strong enough for the flow on the left side. I think next time I'll try a funnel with a hose on it to get the oil into the drain pan, like a beer bong. |

Just take a plastic gallon jug and cut off the top. The plastic is thin enough to conform nicely and catch most if not all the oil spewing out...and it's disposable. |

Or just place the kickstand in the drain pan. Oil runs down stand, into pan, not a single drop gets spilled. Wipe before flinging stand back up. |

I actually tried that first froggy, but my oil catch pan is one with a big screw on cap to make taking it to a parts store to dump it easier. The kick stand wouldn't go down in it and allow the pan to lay flat. I'll try your suggestion next time Fresno, unless I come up with some brilliant contraption in the mean time that'll make me rich. |

I got one of those big aluminum foil pans like you see catering services use. Works great, kickstand in pan and no mess. I sometimes see them at the supermarket. |
