Hi there Bruno my man!! 12MM-1.5 is the thread size.

Only reason I know is because I recently purchased a couple of Fumoto valves for my Super Tenere:

Why would you need these?
I can think of more reasons not to have..
sounds a bit like a solution for a non-existing problem IMO.

but enlighten me!

There are many people on this forum, and in life, that have to tinker with their things. Make stuff their unique own. This is not a criticism, just an observation. If doing something makes you happy. . . . and doesn't negatively effect somebody else. . . . rock on. :) Me? If it works. . . . I don't change it. It all comes down to the ol' investment v. return.

Hi Stephan, it’s definitely not a need item. I have these valves on my truck and really like them. The convince of tool less oil change is nice. I would caution against using these if doing hard core off road travel. It would be something that could break off.

I thought of doing the same basic thing. If you do it you will probably have to have some way for air to escape as oil enters. If 27-3 is correct, if you plug a 27-3 funnel in, and good as that sounds, fill the funnel, it will have problems flowing oil with any rate of speed because air is trapped in the engine. Probably not too hard to get around by cutting a slot or something in the threads straight out to let some air escape as oil enters.
Good luck.

Even with a funnel filling in part of the hole, 27mm is a huge hole, I don't think venting will be a issue. BUT, how hard would it be to have his printer print a vent tube along the side? It's a non-issue. Cool idea.

That is a neat idea! It would take some designing to get the height just right so as to not hit my crash bars.

No clearance to fit under most if not all Tenere skid plates. I even bought the newest low profile valve. My long rides often require an oil change mid trip so was looking for an easy and clean drain without even removing skid plate. I have a Fumoto on my car and it's so easy. Put a short vinyl hose onto valve and drain directly into your recycling container.
