The easiest Job to do on a motorcycle is to change the oil. Seems some figure a way to F==K it up.

Haven't you been following the thread? Changing it is the easy part, it's checking the level that's hard to figure out

Same B/S Check oil if its low add some if it's to high take some out. The takeout part should start another conversation, but most of us know is to just turn the bike upside down and pour it out.

I’m not turning it upside down! Then I’ll need to find a new place to set the gas cap….plus how do I recheck the oil levels??

I think the biggest problem with that is a lot think common sense is like when they are born and they can suck a tit.

Those with real common sense are those that study, ask questions, review, work and yes occasionally make mistakes but fix it and step-up to the next challenge.

What's most important here is they enjoy it.
