Hell I got 3 drain plugs (engine, trans, primary) and 3 different oils... but they are all easy to do. And mine are HDs.

Yeah- that's where it gets interesting on any sportbike. Fairings, fuel tank, airbox to get to any engine stuff.

Fuck dat!

Good for you Muffin!

Seriously, everyone learned at some point! I know guys that have been riding for years that still take their bikes to the dealer for oil changes!

Fuck that! If I screw something up, I don't charge $80+ an hour to fuck it up even more.

Yeah KTMs, My SMR450 had one drain bolt 2 filters when you removed the covers they drain out on the tranny cases. I'm sure it had screens too I just remember it taking forever. Safety wire on all of it after each oil change.

My Honda CRF150R has 2 drain bolts, one filter and a weap hole for the tranny case. I started measuring the oil, screw the weap hole. Not to mention that bike gets safety wired every time and has a small amount of oil in it so it gets lots of oil changes.

The frame holds .6 liters. It only takes about an hour to get it in there.

It would probably be easier to change the oil on the fucking space shuttle.

I'm sorry. The kitchen said you're all out of Brie. Would Gouda do with that whine?
