• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Which side is the hex, which side the torx Oil change plugs?

I am doing the first oil/filter change on my S2S. Due to problems with bending, I am getting a friend to remove the oil drain plugs, he is a qualified motor tech. Just so I hand him the correct tools, when sitting on the bike which side is the hex. and which side is the torxs head. I will be replacing them with hexagon headed units from Lamonster.
Thanks,
Alan.

The crankcase plug requires a T45 Torx bit (on the left side of the bike as you sit on it, naturally) and the transmission, aka clutch cover, plug is a 6 mm Allen on the right. There are no hex head plugs unless someone has swapped out the OEM plugs for them. FWIW, the threads on the OEM crankcase plug are very sharp. When I changed oil before switching to hex head plugs I always put a piece of painters tape on the crankcase plug threads to protect new O-rings when I was installing them and still do so eve though the hex head plug threads are not as sharp..
