Exhausts and Engine » Oil change 2018 RS1200

Just finished up my first oil and filter change.(had dealer do the 1000K first one)
All went well but I noticed what looks like a drain plug pretty much directly under the filter.
WTHeck is that for?

As long as you removed the real oil drain plug, I’d leave the other one alone

You might guess I haven’t got a clue what the other plug is for.

Let us know if you try it.

That is possibly the plug that retains the oil pressure relief valve and spring. Best leave it alone if it isn't leaking.

The first time I changed oil, I undid a bolt under the right cylinder...close to the fill port. Nothing flowed out, but as soon as I saw what did come out I quickly put it back in. I kind of expected the drain port would be more distinctly marked.

As there is a choice of plugs screwed under the engine how about somebody putting a picture of the location of the proper oil drain ?
