Recipe for perfect oil change:
1/ Sunny morning
2/ Short ride to local Café for take away Skinny Latte and raisin toast (two slices with butter, not marg)
3/ Place bike on side stand and remove filler cap
4/ As 2b said, remove both bottom and side drain plugs (do I need to say have a container to catch oil?)
5/ Sit back from bike about 3m on milk crate.
6/ Smile and admire the machine while drinking coffee and eating raisin toast.
7/ Following breakfast, inspect the metal gauze for metal particles and clean.
8/ If you find metal fragments, your day is stuffed from here on in. (this is why this step follows 7. Don't want to screw up breakfast as well).
9/ By now about 30-40 min have passed leaving a good time to drain. I also like to hold bike upright for a minute to ensure the last little bit of old oil drains from the pan nooks out via the bottom hole.
10/ Replace plugs and fill 'er up with the good stuff.
An easy 10 steps to another Ace day!
