Oh no no more oil spells the tree hugers are going to sick Al Gore on you. I personally have noticed after each oil change on my 05 Speedmaster I have to go back and retighten the drain plug after I start it up and let it warm up,and cool down again.It always seems to need a little snugging.I also run an extra or a thicker oil plug gasket or washer because it seems the threads on the drain plug on my bike are not cut or threaded back far enough to allow it to tighten suffiecently with just one stock sealing washer or gasket.Take a close look at your drain plug if it's wet this possibly could be the problem with your bike.
