Oil draining over the hot exhaust? Sounds good guys, let's sign it off and start production! (files.catbox.moe)

Seriously, couldn't they just extend the tube a bit so it overhangs the exhaust pipe???

Doesn't help for this (or the next) oil change... But look into a fujimoto drain plug. Its a mini ball valve that is spring loaded (so you have to press the leaver up before you can turn it... Also has a 2nd safety in the form of a plastic clip that prevents it from being pressed up). Makes oil changes so easy. For your bike, it might still be too recessed, but the valve has a hose barb on it too so you can direct the oil into the drain pan

    Seen a lot of complaints about these thing leaking over time in the car communities. No experience myself, but may be something to keep in mind, especially of you end up laying the bike over.

    I'm 100% buying another fumoto valve when my free oil change plan is up. I never even had to jack up my old car to change its oil.

    My one complaint was that without seeing the valve, it's super hard to remember which way you push and which way to turn. Not fun to figure out when your oil is at highway temps and you're fumbling around between hot parts with a glove that's getting hotter and hotter.

    But that's mostly because I'm stubborn.
