Better way to change oil?

[DEUCE]

OK, anybody have a better way to change the oil, without having it drain all over the frame plate and getting under the engine. I've tried to raise the back end (of the bike) :thumbsup:, but it still ends up making a mess.
What's everybody else do..?

I threaded a 1/4 piece of pipe into the outlet and put a cap on the end. You can drain the oil without a mess, just put a bucket under the cap and undo the cap.

i don't know what size threads the oil plug is, but i had one of these on a gokart once. It went with the kart:doah:

Well, i usually have the motor off the bike, but a shut off valve works good.

OK. I've been looking do you guys think this will fit a Clone..? I don't know the size of the drain bolt.

You could attach a hose to it, open it, drain oil, shut it, take off hose, and good to go..? (well after you refilled the oil....)

If you go to home depot to the plumbing section, you could get an 1/8" nipple x however long you need. 1 or 2 inches. Plus an 1/8" 90# elbow, then the drain plug. That should take care of any oil all over the engine. i would think you could paint them too!
