Found a drain tube similar to on the Yager hidden behind the forward end of the air filter box. It is possible, but NOT easy to squeeze the spring clamp and remove the plug to drain out the crud (oil, fuel, water). This is NOT mentioned in the Owners Manual. This is a very short tube so it will fill up pretty fast and make the engine cough, hesitate and misfire.

I cleaned the tube at 5,000 km.s and checked it several times and there is only a little bit of black crap in it, I will check it before the summer rides begin, thanks for the reminder,. I am at 28,000 km. now

Good to hear only a little crud in there. The Yager seemed to manufacture the stuff so I drained it often. You got some cruisin' in on that scoot!

looking at the weather reports across the country, if I was still in sask. I would have modded my scoot to a ski doo, lived in regina in the 30 s and early 40 s,. yes I remember 60 below F.
