Remember, we're talking about a bike that leaves at least a quart in there, no matter how many tiny drops you let fall out of the pan, hot or cold, long or short.
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
Now, having said that.....I'm the guy who, during my last oil change, was bored enough to actually unbolt the oil cooler and associated lines, and drain them too.
I'm still not sure what possessed me to do that, but like I said, it was a rainy day and I was seriously bored.
Conclusion? It was a big mess, I'm an idiot, and the extra few ounces of oil I got out was just absolutely not necessary.
Plus, the risk of stripping one of the bolts going into the block wasn't just unnecessary, but downright foolish.
