    Default drain valve

    Has anyone ever thought about a fumoto drain valve on their spyder, I have one on my truck and I can drain the oil with out spilling one drop. Just curious.

    It has been discussed before. The possible problem is that the drain valve sits lower than the standard oil plugs. And since the bottom of the Spyder is so low there is a possibility that the drain valve could break off if you hit a high spot.

    There is no drain valve available that will fit the 1330 oil drain plug.

    Default There you have it....

    Have to agree with the above. Work great in the automotive and other areas but not a great idea on the motorcycle industry....
