So I was out in the shed last night doing the front wheel drive mod to my bike. Well I got the handlebars off and couldn't find the drain bolt for the riser oil

It's down by the pivot for the swingarm. When you go to refill it takes ATF 14oz no more no less. And don't worry about it again until your next brake job.

The oil is supposed to drain when you pull the handle bars. If you remove the control cables first, this will facilitate draining of the oil, make sure kickstand is down. Hope this helps.

And don't forget to remove the boot and re-grease the CV joint.

I thought the drain plug was on the ignition coils.

If you don't remember to grease the ball joint the muffler bearings will wear into the corpus plant.

The corpus plant?? Isn't that down by the water pump for O2 hydro injectors? Or is it next to the radiator bung?
