Can anyone please tell me what millimeter oil plug goes in my standard valk 98 tourer. I have been looking at the FUMOTO auto drain valve and it looks to be a quality built product. Does anyone have one of these plugs and if so can you comment good or bad.   THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

Verified it is indeed the 14mm 1.5 /  Futomo part # F106N

do a search tech section it will come up.

IMO, I think it sits too low, loaded bike, wrong angle on a steep driveway, there goes your oil.

I have a Fumoto valve on my truck.  Makes changing oil a breeze.  However, I never thought the Valkyrie needed one, it's already so easy to change.

I think its 14x1.5 but I wouldn't put one of those on my bike all you need to do is bottom out and your not going to be a happy camper.

98 VALK, it has been almost two years since you posted this. Did you ever get one? If so how is it working out for you?
I have an "Essential Tremor" and have a problem putting the plug back in after draining the oil. I was wondering if the Fumoto would help.

no I did not. as another poster and myself consider it to low and easily damaged.  I have one on my 7.3L powerstroke. works really well. 

there are vacuum pump systems out there electric and manual which are designed to evacuate the oil out of an engine sump. this help your situation. remember even during a normal drain there is always some oil left in the engine.
I'll pray for both your hands.  research about increasing your magnesium levels with supplementation.

all based on the work by Dr. Mildred Seelig. she was ignored in USA but highly praised and respected in europe. now others are pushing her work mainly to sell bone broth soup which is needed.

CA,
Thank you for your reply. I am already on a magnesium supplement. But I do appreciate the information on Dr. Seelig and the Magnesium Website.
More than anything else, I appreciate your prayers. I can't thank you enough.
God bless,

make sure its magnesium citrate one of the better types for absorption.  bone broth soup is also good.  epsom salt soak is very good. absorbing thru skin is listed as a faster way to see results. another very good way is magnesium oil. it gets rubbed into the skin. not internal use. read up on the balance btwn mag and calcium and potassium. too much calcium causes constriction of blood vessels.
