Oil Change

Hi guys, I previously had an account set up but changed my email address and couldn't figure out how to get my password back so I just set up a new account. My old user name was Dresh and now I'm Drech! lol! Call me an idiot and I'm almost embarrased to ask this but I'm changing my own oil for the first time and was wondering. Is there a special tool required for one of the 3 drain plugs? If so do you know the size and what it's called? I don't have a lift for the bike so I can't get my head under there to take a look! lol!
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

I think you need a 13 mm socket for the two sump drains (front & back) and a metric allen wrench to pull the main drain plug. Not sure if that Allen wrench is included in the "tool kit" as I always use my own "tool-box" tools. Easy job! Change the filter, too.
