Seriously, couldn’t they just extend the tube a bit so it overhangs the exhaust pipe???

    And the cap on the port extends another .5-1” when in place. Which means it’s sitting below the surface of the other things as is, but add .5” and it now becomes level with a few things. And level is by far enough for the cap to grab, twist and pull out. And when it does, you’re done riding for a while.

    And instead of replacing the tip of the oil cap and the outer cases, you end up with a damaged block. Much more expensive.

    A far better idea is to have a tool, admittedly not in every man’s possession, but tilt the bike away, remove the cap, and thread in. Tilt the bike back and you have a little spout. Clean, simple and easy. These are available for just about every manufacturers cap size and thread.
