So I like to drain oil when it's still as hot as possible. So I removed my Givi skid plate in the morning before I rode to work so I could drain oil immediately when I got home. Note: I've not done this before. I usually just remove it before I drain the oil.

I don't notice engine noise as much as others but my bike has always made a fair bit of gear whine, particularly in 5/6 gear. Well, without the skid plate it was easily 75% quieter on the road haha. I guess that aluminum pan really reflects the noise back at me.

Now I know! I don't care, but I know!
