Recently acquired the bike and going through the usual stuff for a VJM. Not my first resurrection, but my first XS650.
Since this bike has two oil drain blots, one attached to the sump and one behind it, how important is it to get both out?
I was able to get the forward one out (the one attached to/below the sump), but the rearward one is being difficult. PO did not have any crush or copper washers.
Also, the sump plate itself is also stuck after removing the six 10mm bolts. Any suggestions?
