Hello friends!
i have an 09 gs/sm5
im having difficulty getting the bolt out of the oil tank
(this is my first time attempting do an oil change)
which way do I turn the bolt to loosen it??
towards the rear of the bike or front of bike??

im pretty close to stripping the bolt :(
if it is stripped is that something hard for the dealer to fix ??

thanks everyone!

Righty tighty (clockwise). Lefty loosey (counter clockwise).

To the front or rear depends on how the tool was installed. Assuming the tool is pointing to the left side of the Spyder then to the front.
