Gearbox fluid drain on Ballabio?

[Craig]

I was planning on changing the fluid in my gearbox today. After I got back from the warmup ride I changed the final drive fluid then started for the gearbox. The only thing I can find that looks like a drain plug is directly above the catalytic converter. Please tell me I am wrong! (2004 US Ballabio)

Sounds about right! Drain plug is under trans, above exhaust x-over. I use tin foil to funnel oil past exhaust into container.

Some good info here, http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=91&st=0&p=509&hl=spark%20plug%20gap&fromsearch=1entry509 Very important to not overfill.

I use Baldini's method of a mini Roman Viaduct with foil

Good thing I love this bike! I will fab up a funnel for it...

It's only oil! An oven pan is fine, and wipe up with a tissue. It's the only time that part O my bike gets a wipe....

It's not the oil, it sticking my hands so near a hot exhaust to change the fluid...
