I apologize for the late response.
I guess it is the one circled.
I have removed it from the engine I disassembled and it is oriented horizontally as pictured.
This was based on a reading somewhere I don't remember so please feel free to correct me.

THIS HAS BEEN DRIVING ME CRAZY , WHEN I CHANGE MY OIL , I RUN MY BIKE UNTIL ITS HOT , I REMOVE THE DRAIN PLUG & THE FILTER & LET IT DRAIN FOR 24 HOURS , THEN I REINSTALL DRAIN PLUG & A NEW FILTER , SO HERES MY QUESTION ; THE SHOP MANUAL SAYS THAT THE BIKE NEEDS TO BE STRAIGHT UP & DOWN & IT HOLDS 3.6 QUARTS OF OIL & THE MAINTENANCE MANUAL SAYS THAT THE BIKE IS TO BE ON ITS CENTER STAND & IT HOLDS 4.02 QUARTS OF OIL , SO WHATS CORRECT ? .. :confused2: .. WITH IT ON THE CENTER STAND , I CANT EVEN GET 3.5 QUARTS IN IN BEFORE ITS OVER THE TOP LINE , BUT WITH IT ON THE GROUND & STRAIGHT UP & DOWN , I CAN GET JUST UNDER 4 QUARTS IN IT ! ... :confused2:

OK first off that is seriously the most anal thing I have ever heard of for a oil change...24 hours lol.....and I cant get past it for more of a response.:ummm:

Anal. :biglaugh: Never??? I've been called Asshole in the middle of Sams Club.

COP RUNNER, you are probably right, so if it is not that particular one then there is another 17mm plug that fits horizontally by the transmission. If you cannot find it I will try to take a photo tomorrow and post it.

COP RUNNER, I took pictures but could see squat.:bang head::damn angry:
That plug is located next to the neutral safety switch and under the shift shaft. If you look horizontally just by the end of the left peg. I personally never used it to drain oil and doubt the practicality in my case since to me with Mark's exhaust it shall be a royal PITA, however I am sure I read somewhere that if you use it you could drain some more oil. If you still cannot locate it I shall take a picture at a friend's dismantled engine.

This may seem a might excessive to some folks so during a recent oil change on Sallymax I did the following:
-warmed the motor up
-removed oil & filter and drained for 1 hour into a pan
-removed the pan and collected what dripped out over the next 20 hours

And this is it, the "bottom of the barrell," where all the crap hangs out!

I sure don't want to leave this in my engine....do you? :confused2:

I usually let mine drain for about 5-10 mins and then flush through maybe 1 or 2 cups of clean oil before putting the plug back in and wait again, this flushes thru most of the shit that's accumulated.

There is plenty of oil up in the valve area that slowly drips down. Had my pan off last winter with a warm engine and observed while working. I drain , when doing a change, for about an hour then stop. One of the reasons I change oil often, like 1000 miles! Who's anal?

That'll prove it beyond any doubt! :biglaugh:
