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

    Next time just rotate the bike 90° so the oil drains straight out and misses the exhaust. Problem solved!

      Alternatively redirecting gravity by 90° would also solve the problem, without the difficulty of needing to reposition the bite.

      Yeah my first though as well is the bike is probably supposed to be tipped when draining?

        Tipping it over could cause a drop, which could be costly to replace. And if you’re just holding it to one side. You’d need a second person to either hold it, or take the plug out.
