Hey guys, I have my 83 maxim 400, trying to do some winter service including a oil / filter change ( first oil change on this bike)
Im not sure whats going on but i removed the oil drain plug along with the filter, And it is not gushing oil out as i would of expected its a very slow drip and the engine is preety full looking through the sightglass, Is there another drain plug i have to crack open besides the one that holds the filter in place?
Its very strange so far, ive changed oil on bikes before and never one like this yet though? there has to be another bolt somewhere ( i am new with this bike so take it easy on me lol)
bike is on center stand i dont think that added 2 or 3 inchs from side stand would make a difference in drain will it?
