| Administrator | Ya, you kinda just have to look at at and you will see how it all goes. If all else fails, take a picture and we will sort it out.

| The Spam man | when i change the oil, i give a small kick (manual says so) while the spark plug wire is off, then, pour some new oil in it with the plug still off so it gets all the old out.

| Pro Mototips Member | you should run the motor before changing the oil in regular cases, it mixes up the dirt into the oil wich then will flow out

| Administrator | So how I do it is I pin it in 5th on the flats for a while, roll back to the lot and immediately change my oil. Feels so right.

| Pro Mototips Member | ... my thought is that the oil would be to hot then... i don't like to deep fry my hands i just let it warn up to until the cooling fins (air cooled bike) are just warm

| Administrator | Well see thats where owning a Honda comes in handy again. I have a drain bolt on the side of my case so oil doesn't spill on you.
