This is the part#F109(N)(size 12mm - 1.5) that the manufacturer recommends.  Wondering if anyone else out there has put one on?

Thanks - Chris

Wouldn't that hang below the pan and decrease your clearance and put something really vulnerable there to get hit if you do run over a curb or something?

Looks like that to me..

I can see why one might want a quick drain valve, but removing the filter makes a big enough mess already that you aren't saving time and mess by having one.

Thanks for all the input.  I guess I'll pass and do the oil change the old fashion way.

In thinking about this a bit, it might be ok on the 10+ models as their drain bolt location has changed to the side of the pan facing forward.  Don't know how much the valve would stick down past the pan, though.

it'd stick down "some" for sure.

Not a good idea in my book. How much time does it take to take the drain plug out? 10 seconds.

Kawasaki put a quick oil drain bolt on mine. Never had a bike so simple to change the oil.

Longest part of it all is waiting for the oil to drain   

And you didn't take any pictures of it?

That's one of the things a cold beer is made for.
