Seriously, couldn't they just extend the tube a bit so it overhangs the exhaust pipe???

Doesn't help for this (or the next) oil change... But look into a fujimoto drain plug. Its a mini ball valve that is spring loaded (so you have to press the leaver up before you can turn it... Also has a 2nd safety in the form of a plastic clip that prevents it from being pressed up). Makes oil changes so easy. For your bike, it might still be too recessed, but the valve has a hose barb on it too so you can direct the oil into the drain pan

I like the fumoto valves for another reason - if tou have an aluminum oil pan, the valve will keep you from wearing out the threads.

I like not having to have to use a jack to get enough clearance to use a wrench.
