I have ben sick for the past couple of days and spending too much time on the couch by the fire place. My wife was making sure i stay foot and drink a lots of hot tea with the honney.

If I can not go riding atleast I can go work on my bike - change the oil for example

I bought a oil change kit on my last trip to Modesto, so I had everything i needed

I pulled my bike out of garage and started to strip it down....(I think we have to many cars...)

Now I had easy access to the oil tank

...and the drain plug...

There is a little magnet attached on the bolt that catches metal shavings - it had couple tiny flakes on it

Draining oil from the engine

Leaned my bike on the side peg and removed the screw on the bottom of the tank

Drained oil

The coffe can works good for this job and it is the right size too

I left the oil to dripp out of the bike and started to change the filter

First step is to remove the front sprocket cover - as it is bloking one of the tree screws

Second step - is to remove three more screws from the cover

And pull the old filter out

It is very simple and easy...

Put a new filter in, replace new cover seal and put everything back just the way it was...

Screw all bolts and nuts back in the place and it is time for the fresh oil

Just like that and I'm done...
