Thanks to the forum for all of the posts on changing oil and clutch adjustments!
I was having a hard time trying to justify the cost of dealer oil changes and such, so I did it myself!
I paid particular attention to the mistakes of others (stripped bolts and such), used the great tip of using a 2 liter bottle under the old oil filter to catch the drips, and got the satisfaction knowing that all was done right!
I am not a stranger to working on cars and trucks, or tackling other repair jobs,(note my signature) but I was a little nervous about screwing something up on the bike.
Next on the list is a manual to expand my knowlege!
Spring is here so ride often and ride safe!

hoo-waaah! pat yourself in the back for a Job Well Done. now what are you gonna do with the $$ you just saved?

 

I did it myself the other night when my wife wasn't home

 

Cause normally your wife adjusts your clutch for you?

 

Good for you. You'll find yourself wrenching on a lot of things over time. I was really hesitant to take the outer fairing off, had a wrench friend show me, and now I've had it off several times since doing audio upgrades.

 

Good for you, The only comment I have is do not get in a hurry! The few seconds or minutes that you might save, might end up costing you more. And dont ask me how I know.

 

Congrats. You'll enjoy it. And save some $$ on the way.

 

Congrats, the forum is great for info, now all you need to do is the big bore kit???
