everyone knows that Chip is the lifetime holder of that position

If your speaking of titles then "Trust Fund Baby" certainly applies to you.
You can deny but those that have been around know.

Hate to burst your bubble but I worked for what I have. When I moved here to the Outer Banks I lived for 6 months in the back of my truck and working 2 jobs, one plumbing and one in a tackle shop. I would go fishing on the beach every night and sleep in the back of my truck. The beach was less built up then so after plumbing I would take a shower in someones outside shower to get myself ready for working in the tackle shop.

My step father told me when I wanted to purchase a new truck on credit....if you want it bad enough you will save the money and when you have enough, pay for it in cash.....so that is how I have lived my life.

Trust Fund Baby...... I have to laugh at this one. You can ask Unc. I received no money from any inheritance from my family.....your information is wrong.

So any other legitimate answers to the original question?

Short of taking the engine apart as Jerry suggested, no.  There's no way to get ALL the old oil out, but it doesn't matter.

So Hogasm, that job sequence musta gave credence to the Fish and chitps phrase, or what that chips.... I can't remember


Doesn't' the request for a legit answer have the false assumption that the original question
was in fact legit to begin with?

I sometimes wonder why people come up with that question about the small amount of "dirty" oil left in the engine (bet it's got a lot to do with all the advertising for that several hundred dollar gizmo you see in all the bike mags), but I've never seen anyone ask what they should do about that possibly dirty and stale gasoline still in the tank when they fill up.  Should we pull off the fuel line and pump the left over gas out on the ground first?  I'd hate to contaminate my brand new tank of high test with "old" gas.

Seriously, if someone is all that worried about a few ounces of used, not necessarily dirty, oil remaining in the crankcase, then it's quite simple to drain the actual crankcase after the oil in the top end has drained down.  There is a plug that can be used for that purpose.  Then add a couple quarts of oil, fire the bike up and let it idle for a couple minutes, drain the oil again.  Fill with fresh oil and that's about as "fresh" as it's going to get.  And you don't need to buy that special plate in those ads to do it.

Of course, the smartest approach is to not be so anal and just accept the fact that a small amount of used oil has always remained in engines when doing oil changes, and it has never proved to be a problem over the hundred plus years we've been running internal combustion engines in vehicles.  Save the worrying for the important chit.

Thanks Jerry, someone had to say it.

Hoof, I wouldn't worry about a small bit of oil left in crankcase. I have a friend I ride with who I have mentioned here before. He has an 2001 Heritage. It was still running fine at 180,000 miles with original drive belt. He only changes oil at 5K intervals as per the book. His only issue was that his engine balancers went south and screwed up his engine so he sent it to HD for rebuild. He has way over 200K on bike now.CAHDBIKER
