My Funduro does the same thing, but right at the header so if you get any oil at all on the pipe you get a nice cloud of smoke upon firing the bike up.
I still prefer dealing with that though over how my WR400 makes you take the header section off in order to change the oil filter. That gets more annoying - particularly as that's something one has to do pretty regularly on that bike.
I had an '85 Dodge Omni GLH (turbo) where that had the oil drain plug directly over a cross member. I don't know if that was standard in the Omni or added for the GLH but when you drained the oil it just went everywhere. My oil drain pan wasn't big enough to catch it all. I stopped doing my own oil changes on that car.
Tipping it over could cause a drop, which could be costly to replace. And if you’re just holding it to one side. You’d need a second person to either hold it, or take the plug out.
I’m not a motorbike person, but couldn’t they sell a 50 cent plastic thingy you could screw on instead of the cap that would make it go into some container even?
Plastic would be a bad idea, but there’s a company called Fumoto that makes a ball valve replacement for the drain pan plug that has a hose barb on the end.
If they made the spout longer, people would complain that they hit it with their shoes while riding. Or complain that it limits their ability to put on aftermarket pipes. Or some other issue that might be caused by it being longer. It is all about trade-offs.
Of all the options, I think dealing with a little oil on the pipes every 3000 miles or so is reasonable, especially since a piece of tin foil would solve the problem.
Neither does the PS5 but there’s a 3.5mm jack and a built in mic in the controller. Sony’s claim is that standard Bluetooth isn’t fast enough to stay in sync with the screen and your control inputs, so they have their own bespoke wireless (but not Bluetooth) headset. I’m happy enough with a cheap pair of wired headphones from the supermarket.
Just chiming in to add that Xbox controllers also have 3.5mm jacks, although they’re annoyingly incompatible with Sony’s 3.5mm Jack to get the mic working (at least last time I tried with a pair of old iPhone earbuds which use the same configuration as Sony).

To be fair, this is kind of true… Most Bluetooth latency is fucking atrocious.
