Hot. I believe it has more suspended particles. Correct me if I am wrong, I am always here to learn. I let it drip a looooooooooooooooooooong time, sometimes overnight.
user manual suggests to change oil when it's warm
RTFM :lol:
I usually drain the oil while the engine is cold, then start it and let it run for 10 minuits to get the rest of the oil out of the engine

I agree with Dolphin. Go for a 10 mile ride and come back home and drain it. I also let it drain to the last drop. :)Thats the way I always tell the wife to do it :D
I always seem to find more small particles in the oil after draining and revving the motor to redline for a min of 2 mins. My method kicks your ass...!Is that with or without A TRE :duh:
ps,,, COLD , your motor was hot when you last just it off probably. sjI usually drain the oil while the engine is cold, then start it and let it run for 10 minuits to get the rest of the oil out of the engine:lmao:

so now the question: Is it worth the debate? :lol:Quote
Only for the post count 8)
It doesn't matter as long as your filter is working. Sounds way to anal to worry about...

Maybe. You busy or sumpin'? :D
What about the steering damper? I use Mobil 1 full sunthetic 75-90w, and anyone who doesn't is a scooter riding girl scout!:moped:
yeah, but you use wd-40 in your forks :lol: :lol: :clown: :clown: :clown:

You have to change the oil?
Drain the oil hot, THEN run it again to get the rest out!?? :shock:
That's a debate on it's own. Interesting to see if the rest comes out. Like the oil in the cooler etc. I know there is always about 1/2 liter left over from an oil change. Curious if you can do any damage with most of the oil in the drain pan and not in the bike?? :?
I always drain it hot. If you did it cold I think to much would stay behind as a coating on all the parts.

Does anybody ever read or do what owners manual says?
Drain it warm.
When it's cold the sludge sticks to the bottom of the pan and stays there when you drain it. When it's warm, the sludge is suspeded in the oil and drains with it.
On a bike, the sludge also sits in the clutch basket.
Don't beleive me? Pull your oil pan after draining your oil cold, you will find sludge in the bottom of the pan.

damn this thread went to shit :lol:Thats what normaly happens when 30-40-50 year old guys argue about something they should know while still grade school
drain the oil hot because any particles in the oil will be suspended in the oil and will flow out instead of staying in the engine. also i have heared that as long as 80% of the oil is drained (because some will remain in the oil cooler in the clutch plates and even a small amount in the pan an head) from the engine that is sufficient, assuming you don't have serious contamination such as antifreeze, which is beyond the scope of a normal oil change anyway.Like you know what you're talking about anyway :duh:
I use olive oil. 8)Cookie, Olive oil is used in ducati's and several other Italian bikes, and before I get any stuff I am part Italian so I know about these things :hys:

I do it hot and I must be really anal :stupid: as I remove and drain the oil cooler. lolWell not so hot as you burn yourself working on it, but the oil cooler is really pushing it, something you may want to do as long as you got the time, instead of the oil cooler is drain oil and remove filter, drain filter put it back on put 2 or 3 qts of cheap oil in fire up the motor let it run for 5 or 10 mins, then change oil & filter and use your good oil, its extra screwing around but your oil will stay cleaner a lot longer
