first oil change: oil drain plug doesn't come off
so im trying to do my first oil change. i turned the bike on for 5 minutes. went to take the drain plug out, that bitch won't budge. the whole bike is moving when i gave it my best shot. what are my options right now, besides taking it to the dealer to take the f'in bolt off.
i actually started thinkin they did it that way cause i didn't buy the maintainance plan.

buy better tools? or longer anyways.
for real thou.. people please stop saying you turned your bike or car on. its not a damn blender. its a gas powered engine, you start it.
/ rant for the day.

i used those hollow pipe things they give u in the tool kit and put it over the socket wrench to make it longer. with all my might it came out after a couple of seconds. god damn the guy that put that on.

If it's on that tight, it's probably stripped from the factory/initial prep. Take it to the dealer, have them take it off and inspect it. If it's fucked, they can fix it there instead of you wondering what to do with an undriveable machine.

An impact wrench would be easier. If it's stripped, it may require an impact to get it off anyway.

I'll give you $10 if you can START your engine without turning your bike ON first.
