It's GT 535, wet sump.

Classic C5 Euro 4 at the moment.
Also CBf250.

Yes it is, but there is a partial divider under the crankshaft which retains some oil when the rest of the oil is drained via the normal drain plug.

That'll be to stop it getting oil starvation for when you do wheelies?

Hi & thanks for your comments
I used 14mm plug tap & threads are now visible
Applied Loctite "Lock&Seal to new sump plug & it tightens well
Hopefully will not leak when I add oil tomorrow
I'll see what happens at next oil change in 1800 miles
Has anyone used oil extractor via filler hole ??
