Being new to Aprilia and apparently very fresh when it comes to changing my own oil, I wasn't aware of this second drain plug. I've changed the oil twice since I've had the bike and never knew there was a second drain plug by the oil filter. Is this bad?? how bad? and should I go and change the oil again right away? (i changed it about 400 miles ago) Just draining the tank and filter area I got about 3 1/2 quarts out of the bike...how much oil comes out of this secondary drain plug?

And most importantly...should i be worried?:confused
 
So of the old oil is left into thew system, but most of the volume is changed anyway so can not bee too dangerous - can it...
 
As I remember, not that much will come out of the plug - you'll probably be OK until the next change.
 
I agree, don't worry too much. as has been said most comes out of the oil tank. About 1/2 a litre comes out of the 2nd drain plug
