The 1982 oil tank is the last year tank with a drain plug. Future year tanks had a drain hose plugged off elsewhere. \\
It had a different, 2-piece chain guard so you could remove the front part to get at the drain plug.

Starting in 82, the starter relay (31506-79B) is attached to the rear of the oil tank with a #10-24 x 3/8" hex head screw and star washer. \\
