yeah, that was kinda my thought; loosen the drain plug until it drips a few seconds and quickly close it back up. Then wipe the excess from the head of the plug. But I was concerned about the crush washer. And since I've 7/10 of a qt (hahahahahaha) of fresh oil I hadn't thought about reusing...

I've searched the forum ( a bit ) and haven't found the answer. BUT I've slightly overfilled the engine oil. Ju-u-u-u-ust above the top mark. No more than 1/32" high. Maybe only 1 cm above. What to do??? I've already cursed so pls don't suggest that. thanx! ride safe, g
