I used to get together couple times a year with KLR650 owners for "tech days". Regarding oil changes, a guy suggested, that once "all" the oil had drained, leaning the bike over to one side for 15-20 seconds, then the other way for another 15 seconds...sure enough, another stream of oil would begin to flow somtimes lasting more than 10 seconds. I can do this on my KLR about 5 or 6 times, each time more oil comes out. I tried the same on the CB1100 this evening and sure enough, after leaning the bike this and that way, a bunch more oil drained (had to put plug back in and move oil pan to the side so it wasn't in the way as I took bike off center stand to lean left/right). Tried it again, and not nearly as much as the first time, but some. That was good enough as the CB is heavier than the KLR650 by about 130lbs.
