CSC Quick Change Oil Kit
 

Redhawk: "CSC is offering a "quick oil change" kit. I'm guessing that it gets installed in place of the magnetic plug; is this right?"

Spud: "No, I think the oil change kit includes oil, an oil filter, an oil pan, a funnel, and a socket wrench."

Spud I think Redhawk is talking about this new item that uses a spring loaded valve thingy, rj

CSC Quick Change Oil Kit
 

RJ, yes, this is the item I was referring to. I asked about it today while I was ordering my red TT. It goes in the drain plug hole. Apparently CSC changed the plug size after the first shipment to a larger size - no problem, CSC knows which size you need.

I would like to see it in action

Okay. I looked under accessories>hardware and tools. I found the regular, oil change kit, but not the quick change kit. ;) Thanks for letting me know. :)

I had a similar device on my car a few years ago. I suppose it was a little quicker because you just screw the hose onto the valve plug to drain it. But mostly it's just a cleaner way to drain the oil. The brass cap keeps the spring valve clean and protects from any damage.

2 thoughts good and bad about this quick coupler drain plug.
1) once installed it would protect the threads in your engine case from wearing out or being cross threaded when changing oil.
2) wonder if it hangs down more then the standard oil drain plug and if there is a danger of it getting bashed when going over a rock? Too cold to go out and look at my RX3 so these 2 cents are just bouncing around in my head, rj

I'm with you; it's too cold to check my RX3. ;) However, I think the skid plate will protect the quick coupler.

I'm not trying to be negative, but I think it is faster, and cleaner, to drain the gearbox first with the oil screen plug on the left side of the bike. ;) This plug is ideally located to quickly and cleanly drain most of the oil from the gearbox reservoir. Then, after most of the oil is drained from the gearbox, removing the magnetic plug can't make much of a mess. :)

CSC posted a description and tutorial of the RX3 Quick Oil Change Kit at the CSC Blog. :)

I said that I would like to see it in action, in my December post. I guess someone is listening.

CSC is always listening; their customer service is superb. :tup:

That they are, Sara contacted me said she was sending out my center stand too.

Kiethmaine, will this be the new center stand with the magic lever to make it easier to get it up on the stand? Pics and a report pretty please. rj

Yes it is, I will post pics and review
