Oil Changes

[Bumblebee]

Anyone use a "Mityvac" to change their oil verses drain using the drain plug...?

I have one I use for my small engines (snow blower, garden tractor, generator) and wondered if it could be used for the bike as well?

Stupid question....I answered it myself and the answer is no.....

I remembered this just after I pushed the "reply" button....

Oh, well, I love my "Mityvac though...it's a handy unit.

As I got done typing I remembered why it can't be used in the bike...

Hard to bend it around that big 'ol clutch pack...

Turn the bike upside-down and use the Mityvac through the drain plug.
Hope this helps.

That would work, that's the same method I use to drain the gas tank...

And bleeding brakes, the air bubbles just rise to the top.

Love my Mityvac. So many uses.

Just modify one of those Abba style bike lifts to rotate a full 180. Done deal.

Saw a guy doing a rotissierie car restoration using an engine stand on either end. #goals
