And yet, another dumb question

[mexican]

It has been so long since i changed my own oil that i forgot all the steps, i went on both forums and found the old oil threads to get the correct info, i found out that most rockets have 3 allen drain plugs under the pan,, not mine, mine has one vertical and 2 horizontals
After i found the plugs,(it had to be those since there are no more anywhere close), i proceded to do the job;
A bunch of oil came out of these 2 plugs[

What is weird to me is that only a few drops came out of this plug,
the one on the back

of the pan, directly in line with the oil filter but on the very back, why is that? i was expecting at least a quart but i got only about a spoon full, did i do anything wrong???

Looks NOT to be a rocket to me.

I'm trying to edit the pics but this new format still has me confused, it is a rocket unless somebody changed it for me at some point,
Ok, there you have them, the las pic is the one i'm asking about, almost no oil came out of it and i want to know why???

Those pics show the same drain plugs my bike has.

That is what i was expecting but my rocket does not have the 3 vertical plugs, there are 2 flat circles where the plugs supposed to be but no plugs, does anybody have the bolt plug directly under the filter? do i have a prototype rocket???
On mine only drain #1 is correct, the 2 and 3 are just blank metal circles

Earlier models had your set-up. I don't get much out of the rear (vertical) plug on mine, presumably because I've already drained the other 2. Seems pretty normal to me. The middle plug (long one with the o-ring) drains the oil tank but the other 2 both do whatever happens to be in the sump.

I just changed my 2006. I always drain the back plug last and only a small amount comes out of it. Drops like you say. Doesn't even seam necessary to drain that plug.
