My friend just got a 1990 XL883 Sporster and we can't find the oil tank drain. I have 2002 XL 1200 Custom and there is a drain hose on the bottom but the 883 doean't have one (that I can see). Please help, he is ready to ride but we need to change the oil first.

Thanks, pp

I don't know if this will help but I have a 1989 883 and the drain hose is located right under the battery. You loosen the hose clamp and slide the hose forward off of plug which is actually part of the battery tray.

oil drain hose

I have a 1997 883 hose runs under bike in front of the tire to a blind stud on the swing arm I had a hell of a time figuring that on out.
