Cam plate removal ??
I'm going to do an inspection of the cam adjusters Sunday am. and I'm hoping someone will answer these small q's for me.
Straight up or on the kickstand?
How much fluid mess for either way?
Top it off or change the oil out?
I'm changing my current Mobile 1, 20-50W, which is 'Fugly-black' after only 3000 miles. I'll cut open the filter for a check of red!
Really it is FUGLY TO THE MAX.
Thanks much, and any other suggestions for this first cam-adj timer would a blessing.

2...should only be a few ounces in there
Be clean and change the oil shortly after the install.

Here's how I did my checks:
Drained the oil
Removed oil filter
Opened up the oil filter to check for pieces of ORANGE
If lots of orange was found, removed cam cover, you will have to remove the front hedder pipe.
Use flashlight and inspection mirror (a dental mirror will work) to check the rear follower
Front follower is easy to see.
If lots of orange or chunks of orange were found, GO TO DEALER or INDY ASAP and SHOW THEM WHAT YOU FOUND (a good shop will let you know if it is safe to ride). While you are there you will need a new exhaust and cam cover gasket. If they tell you bring it in, DO IT!!!!
If told it's ok to ride, go back home, put new gaskets, oil and filter on. Go for ride.
