Size of Torx socket for oil drain plug

["Pete Berg" <peteberg@xxxxxxxx>]

Resurrecting an old thread . . .   I will soon be riding my ST home from the
dealer.  Was in for collision repairs and the infamous fuel guage fix.  When
I get home, while the oil is nice and hot, I want to change the oil.  What
size Torx tool should I use?  (Eric, this might be useful info to add to the
FAQs Maintenance / Oil & Filter area.)
