drain pan?lostgixxer 06-14-2008, 10:19 AM What drain pan do you all use? I went to change the oil and the bike sits to low to fit a normal drain pan underneath. I havent really looked around for one cuz I didnt think it would be an issue. Id rather have a self contained style and not just an open pan that I would have to drain the oil into a container but I might not have a choice........using an old baking pan is sounding good right now hahaha GSXROMERO 06-14-2008, 01:57 PM I use one I bought from autozone the one with the big yellow cap in the center, but I also use a rear stand that gives clearence not sure if you are using a stand but, if a pan works what the hell.... Mister Tee 06-15-2008, 07:40 AM I don't seem to have a clearance problem with a standard plastic drain pan, but using stands is a fine way to get the clearance you need if you don't have it. I would use a front stand as well though, so you don't risk trapping oil. skyfire 06-15-2008, 08:12 AM x3. get a rear stand. i got one from t-rex for like $60, it's a great stand Oskie_78 06-19-2008, 04:58 PM i drain my oil with just a regular pan i got from autozone and it fits under my bike without a rear stand just fine.

WARNING: This does not always hold all the oil you drain! Have a couple around.
Not sure if it would melt if you did it when your engine was 200 degrees or something. JohnPaulGixxer 06-25-2008, 10:53 AM I cut the top off of a 1 gal milk jug. I cut it just low enough to fit under the bike. It's a good cheap drain pan.
