Oil drain bolts?
Hey guys, I just picked up a used '03 ec250 I love the bike I was checking things out an noticed there were 3 bolts on the bottom of the cases I'm assuming one is the oil drain bolt but what are the other 2?
Thanks |

The one in the back right side is the oil drain.The front right is the crank drain.The front left was added by a previous owner and is for assembling the motor at the factory, some people put a bolt in it because it is in the magneto cavity.

From the factory there's just a whole. Some people like to put a bolt in there to keep water from coming in.

I've always wondered why other manufacturers haven't!!!
Bloody useful when you accidentally fill the crank cases up with water. Much easier to drop a bolt out of the case than to turn the bike upside down and pump it out the spark plug hole. |
