Removing the oil sump?

[kenboy]

Can anyone tell me is it difficult to remove the oil sump Does it involve removing the exhaust

[Nicky S]

nope easy as and you do not need to remove the exhaust what bike and year do you have ?

If you're referring to removing the drain plug to do an oil change then no, the exhaust doesn't need removal.
If you actually wish to remove the oil sump then there's a problem - there isn't one. The SV crankcases are vertically split and there is no separate sump.
