drain plug

[pat the rat]

im in the process of changing the oil on my warrior. anybody knows what the size of the drain plug on the motor is,meaning what size of allen key do i need

Not sure on the size but if you have a set of them you should be good.

6mm, and 5mm for the access cover, and if I remember correct 12mm wrench for the oil tank, and pull the bottom oil tank line as well, with a 5mm allen, check the screen on the oil line for schmatta. 3 Qts should fill her back up just fine, and if you come from the clutch side, you can access the oil filter with just un-bolting the battery tray and lifting it up a little.

thanks for the info grapeape.i will go buy those two sockets.i didnt know that you could access the filter from the clutch side.its a pain from the top so i'll definetly try it from the clutch,i guess you just pop the side panel and youre good to go.didnt know about that screen either,thanks.

You still have to go in from the top to get at the filter, but you don't have to pull the battery, and entire tray to get to it. I just found it easier to deal with the tray in the way rather than the time it takes to remove everything and then put it all back in.
