Oil changed!

Picked the new bike up last saturday and had a blast! First nice spring weather up here, couldn't have asked for a better

weekend for attitude adjustment. After sifting through the jillions of threads about intervals before first oil change, I thought

what the hay, let's just pick a weird number. Looked at the odo and 102 was the winner. I normally change oil in all my vehicles,

I have a shop, tools etc, and you learn a little more about each machine every time.

Could Yamaha have made an oil change any easier!? Geez, wonder if other mfr's might take a cue. The drain bolt wasn't torqued

at the factory by Shaq, it came off reasonably easy. Although next time I'll shoot a little woodstove black paint on the filter, Purolator Yellow looks pretty stupid.

Ooh, first drain plug removal was EZ? Maybe somebody at Yammy is learning.

OTOH, I wonder, um, what else is "too loose?" :huh:

(You've seen the list of things to check, I presume?)

I KNEW it was that easy. Every day, when I leave for work, I tell my dog "Hey, in between naps today change the oil in my bike" and every day, when I come home, she gives me the same response, "I didn't change your oil. It was too hard!".

That lying *****!!

Well, they say dogs resemble their owners, sorry for the bad news. Next time you might get an Aussie, they're working dogs!
