Breva transmission and CARC oil change questions

[nikwax]

I’m looking at doing my first fluid changes on my 2007 Breva 1100.

Transmission: it looks like the transmission drain plug will drain onto the exhaust pipe, cat, and center stand. Am I seeing that right? And if so, what to do?

CARC: there is a bracket holding the rear brake line in place that is almost touching the CARC drain plug. It’s close enough to prevent a socket fitting on the drain plug, and my drain plug is torqued too tight to remove with an open ended spanner. Again, am I seeing that right? Does that bracket come off?

I hope the brake bleeding and oil change are a lot more straightforward 😵‍💫

Pinch a sheet of alfoil from the missus and fold that under the drain plug to direct the oil flow. I never had an issue draining the CARC.
