I kept seeing these and thinking about buying one and finally did. I've found it very useful with the commando, for draining the oil tank, gearbox, etc without making a mess. Also really handy for removing oil filters on cars that are in tight spots (like my miata) without puking oil all over the place.

Re: Plug for a new tool thats been very useful with the comm
they have 4 different sizes i think. I went with the "automotive" size which is the 2nd smallest. Napa was like $20 for it! Little pricey IMO, same one is on amazon for like $10 plus $6 for shipping. For a few bucks I like driving down the street and just grabbing it rather than waiting for shipping.tomspro said:

Hmm, last time I changed the oil in my bike I just pulled the supply hose line from the junction block.
Just undo the hose clamp and slip the tubing off. A large plastic pan beneath to catch the oil.
Yeah, removing the right side cover and the oil tank drain plug will get a bit more old oil out.
If you tilt the bike to the right side.
Still quite a messy job.

What a bargain!
Never more shall I use a ladies' open-toed shoe.
You should have seen her face afterwards! Still, it went onto her foot very easily.

You know this tool is good, because it's old school and dangerous. After carefully reading the package you'll find it's made of lead! I personally only use tools the state of California says could be harmful to me :twisted: Last year I accidentally got some carb cleaner in my eye and it hardly even burned, they're watering this stuff down! :lol:
