    Guys,

    I need to remove the clutch cover on my 08. Does anyone know how high the oil sits and if I can get away without draining the oil while it up on a paddock stand (upright)?

    I don't have a sidestand so thats not an option.

    Cheers

    Sorry don't know the answer but I do know that draining the oil only takes seconds so that's what I'd be doing. Why has the cover got to come off?

    Judging by how long the dipstick is if you had a spare tyre as a cushion and leant it against a wall you'd be ok.

    Unless your broke, Id drain it and treat the girl to some fresh Slippy Stuff.
    She'll love you for it!
