Magnetic drain plug is better idea
Re: this correct size
don't these two things have completely different purposes?
one collects tiny bits of swarf and the other is supposed to make oil changes easier.
im going to get a magnetic oil plug when I next do an oil change.

Looks like you're going to buy one in any case and we still haven't answered your original request - what a bunch of wonkers we are. If I get time I'll remove mine tonight and measure it, even if this means getting a few splashes of oil on the garage floor.
If you've over-cooked it, just lean it over more.

No it's coz they aren't that brilliant an idea.
You undo a bolt & the oil comes out. You drain it into a receptacle, put the bolt back in & refill with oil...It's not hard Chric, why waste your money on something that only avoids undoing 1 bolt ? ( after you have taken the belly pan off if you have one...)
+ there's the point Hawk made re the tightness...
Anyway next month you'll be selling the bike again...maybe...or not...

Re: this correct size
Looking over the thread i still think it's not a good idea. I prefer getting a nice splash of warm liquid on my fingers and then checking the magnet for any debris. I also know when it is refitted with a new washer and torqued down it won't come undone.
