I do it hott after letting it run on the stands for about 5 minutes... If you are running thicker oil, this will help get the oil warm and somewhat thinner consitancy. Then drain this will allow the oil to flow out better then cold oil which would be thicker. Thus taking more time to drain and tend to be more sticky and stick to parts instead of coming out... I replace the filter with a OEM suzuki filter with the oil change. I also change my oil every 12-1,500 miles. Just to make sure. The manual says not to replace the filter till 10k LOL yea right why would you wanna put new oil into a dirty filter. IDK either...

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.

Hey, Dave! Must be my influence from SloppyJoe. We are drinking a really fine wine, Delille Vineyards of Woodenville, WA right now after a decent dish of Ghocchi he prepared with extra virgin olive oil. Love my Italians!! Thinking maybe later in the year of that new 1198 Duc,, whattaya think?  8)

Well 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
