To drain motorcycle waste oil, start from the bottom. I’ve got this down to a routine. First, warm up the engine for a few minutes to thin the oil and improve flow—otherwise, it’s too thick in winter and won’t drain completely. Then, use a jack or stand to lift the rear wheel and keep the bike level to avoid oil splattering everywhere. Locate the small drain bolt under the engine, usually a hexagonal one, and make sure not to loosen the wrong part. Place a plastic pan underneath to catch the oil, then slowly loosen the bolt to let the oil drain. Wait about ten minutes for it to fully empty—this is the best time to replace the oil filter to prevent sludge buildup. Finally, refill with fresh oil and check the dipstick to avoid leaks. Doing this regularly keeps maintenance easy and cost-effective. Don’t forget gloves to prevent burns, and dispose of the waste oil properly at a recycling center—never dump it randomly.
