Quick action oil drain plug

[Pedda]

Pretty much self explaining, I think.

A quick release oil drain plug which is installed into the sump instead of the old one.
Function by a ball valve and a trigger tool with a bajonet catch and a silikone hose.
When you work the tool by 1/4 of a turn, the ball gets lifted off its seat and the oil runs out of the hose. Nice and clean, avoids oil running all over your hands and drain plugs falling into your catch tank.

Here's the plug with the ball inside:

Other side:

Cap, which is sealed by an o-ring:

Both together:

Release tool set on

All in all a nice kit of German engineering, particularly handy when you run an exhaust with a collector giving straight access to the drain plug.

I purchased my set on a recent motorbike show over here. The guys told me they're going to serve the American market as well. They got a weblink with a bit more of informantion.

Really nice piece. Seems to make a simple job about 10 times simpler and cleaner.

I don't see how you could access this any easier than the stock setup if a four-into-one is fitted as you mention.

Many aftermarket exhaust systems, be it 4-1 or 4-2-1 give straight access to the drain plug. It doesn't have to be a sidewinder nesessarily. Not every system though. That's why I said so.
