Rotate CCW to remove.... nothing special.
Do not overtighten when reinstalling as threads can strip.

I am on a roll tonight................

Thanks again for another great tip.......my sight glass has been soooooo yellowed all these years I couldn't tell where the oil level was. I've been using a make-shift dip stick. I thought Kawasaki discontinued this part and gave up on replacing it............until now. I didn't realize other manufacturers used them.............Thanks again guys. This site is awesome for so much info as always!
