No, this is not asshole design. If the oil port was sticking further out, it’s gets knocked off if you lay the bike down. And then you have no oil at all, and a blown up motor.

It’s by good design the oil port is recessed. Yes it’s annoying to use a funnel, but it’s the preferable option.

Honestly they sound like asshole engineers trying to justify their poor quality of work. Cardboard, tinfoil, and brake cleaner can’t excuse a poor design.

Does Lemmy have a “just rolled into the shop”? I would join instantly.

Make the exhaust curve back a bit? More expensive to make the part than having a straight pipe with just one bend.

Dent the exhaust? Affect flow, create hot spot right under the oil drain plug.

Expect people to be intelligent enough to put some cardboard or foil under the plug so they don't spill oil on the exhaust? Idiots are complaining and posting their failure on the internet and blaming you.
