I found a funnel with a tube about 2 foot long and it has a little plastic reducer jobbie that just fits that itty bitty hole. I use safety wire to hang it on my handlebars and then pour the oil in the funnel and let it drain down. It takes a little longer than most bikes but it works pretty well. I can fill up the funnel with about 300cc's of oil and walk away and do something else while its draining.
Check at the auto parts stores...I think I got mine at Autozone.

The best method i have found is to lay the bike over on its side. Then i cut the end out of a very large rifle case, i put that into the motor and i put my funnel into the rifle case. No more mess, goes very fast.
BTW- i asked the same question about 5 months ago. If you use the search feature you will find other responses. |

I use a small long funnel that barely works. I have to hold it tight against the motor so it doesn't leak. The easiest thing to do is use a gear oil bottle and cut off the bottom.

Some oil bottles come with a tube extension on the top. I use this tube and stick it in the hole and then squeeze the oil in as normal. Works really well.
Cheers Mark
