First Time Fluid Changers - Helpful Videos...
This was so helpful - I was able to have a few and then a few more while changing my fluids and still felt like I knew what I was doing...
In one night I changed my Motor Oil, Primary Fluid, Trans Fluid, Checked my Primary Chain (no adj needed), Adjusted my Clutch Pack, Clutch Cable, and Throttle Cable and lubed these cables as well... Now I can hit neutral with no effort - my clutch feels easy and my throttle has less lag and snaps right back. All in one night - All my first time. How much did I save??? I'm just guessing over $500.
How to change Motor Oil:
Tools: 5/8" Socket, Strap type Filter Wrench, Filter (K&P optional), Proper O-Ring for plug

To me it just helps speed things up if you're going to try it anyway.
Its almost like doing anything the second time... it goes twice as fast the second time because you know what to expect.
This gets you there and I'm not promoting anyone or any service... just another dog chasing the proverbial tire here who thought this might help others...
