Seriously, couldn’t they just extend the tube a bit so it overhangs the exhaust pipe???
The entire comment section seems to be missing this is assholedesign and offering the same shitty solutions without addressing the asshole design…

No, this is not asshole design. If the oil port was sticking further out, it’s gets knocked off if you lay the bike down. And then you have no oil at all, and a blown up motor.
It’s by good design the oil port is recessed. Yes it’s annoying to use a funnel, but it’s the preferable option.
Make the exhaust curve back a bit? More expensive to make the part than having a straight pipe with just one bend.
Dent the exhaust? Affect flow, create hot spot right under the oil drain plug.
Expect people to be intelligent enough to put some cardboard or foil under the plug so they don’t spill oil on the exhaust? Idiots are complaining and posting their failure on the internet and blaming you.
Extend the length of the drain plug by 1cm? Something something, profit.
How is someone expected to already know the oil drainage out of all things is asshole design?
Dude, the plug is right above the exhaust, you need to be an idiot not to realize what’s going to happen
You need to notice it first how are you going to know what to look for?
Notice what? That the plug you’re currently unscrewing is right above the exhaust?

I bet the maintenance guide says to use a funnel or something ¯\(ツ)/¯
Nope.
