(well let me rephrase that) can i get to the drain plug without to much hassel? dont mind taking the fairing off, but i have a track day on Friday so dont wana start taking the bike apart and find out i need gaskets for exhaust etc etc , anybody, donr this, can you tell me what to look for (what the drain plug look like where is it) before friday would be good, i can alwys drain it over the next few nights, and fill her up at the track??? cheers
