I guess it's just a matter of the subjective nature of whats a PITA and what isn't. Me, removing the wheel and forks, o even just the wheel, is a huge PITA. I hate it, and in fact have to remove the wheel and forks this weekend and i'm not looking forward to it having just done it 2 weeks ago. (putting orig. shrouds back on) Why in god's name they didn't put drain plugs on them is beyond me. A simple plug vs wheel and fork removal......no brainer.
