You get a better drain on the center stand. But if you are really fanatical about getting ALL the old oil out, you can take out the spark plugs and use the kickstarter to turn the engine over which will pump out the oil in the filter and inside the engine. I think that's overkill.Kwaker2000 wrote: hi folks just changed my oil and filter on my csr1000 ,but did it on center stand ,pulled drain plug first then oil filter ,

As for the sight glass: looks fine, but with new filter you need to run it maybe 15 minutes or more and get the filter fully saturated, then let it sit for an hour to let it fully drain down.
