Hi all, i am replacing the stator cover on my nc29 and need to know whether or not i need to drop the oil or can it be done by leaning the bike over the other way.

When ever i have took mine off i just lean the bike bud, no point dropping the oil

Are you replacing the cover with one of those Chinese covers? If so give us your thoughts on them please.

I have replaced the stator cover with a Chinese one and everything fitted and works as it should.
The only problem with it is that the colour is not an exact match for the other side covers.
