c-stand effects oil change ???

Post by eddiebmauri » Sat Jul 19, 2008 11:41 am

OK ya'll, gimmie a clue about a Center Stand vs. oil changes. I have a Center Stand on my KLR and I love the C-Stand, but it seems to effect oil changes. I should add that I mostly ride on concrete, and do no serious off road riding, so I have no concerns of bottoming out the C-Stand when off road. Anyway, when I changed the oil last time, I left the bike on the center stand. The oil did not fully drain, and I wound up with a mix of old and new oil. I added the correct amount of oil, and I over filled the bike, and had to drain some of the oil. I change oil and filter every 2K. In the past, when I changed the oil, I left my bike on the side stand, and it seems to drain much better and more fully than when on the center stand. When I left the bike on the side stand when changing the oil, I also tip the bike on its left side a little and fully drained the oil. So, my question is, have any of you noticed that the oil does not fully drain if you leave the bike on the center stand when you change the oil? My guess is that the center stand holds the bike level and does not allow all the oil to fully drain? Just a guess? Or do you all find that the center stand has no effect on the amount of oil that drains? Eddie (03' KLR650 - "la poderosa")
