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 bitch!!

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