Gst

No Halfords. Mostly US chains, or a couple of mechanics outlets, with name brand tools. As I don't do a lot of work with the tools much, I went for the cheap one.

Success, six point socket, and extension for the ratchet. I've owned a four stroke bike for seven years in this go round. In my younger days I always had a two-stroke. Never had trouble changing the oil though. Thanx for all the concern guys GST

No luck, I need to get a six point socket, before I round off the bolt. I am beginning to wonder if the previous owner ever changed the oil. GST

I have a yamaha dragstar, which I recently bought used. I was trying to change the oil, but the drain plug is so tight, that I can't move it. It doesn't have a left hand thread does it? There is a 19mm plug under the engine, which I assume is the plug. It won't budge, and before I do any damage, thought I would check.
