I changed mine over the weekend. I got to 600 miles and honestly don't know when I'll be able to get it to the shop for the 600 miles service. I figured it would be better to go ahead and change the oil and get the rest of the 600 mile service when I can get the time to get there.
The hardest thing was finding the oil. The NAPA gold filter was as easy as driving a mile down the road. The oil on the other hand went like this, NAPA, 2nd NAPA, Advance, one bike dealer, Autozone. The final autozone had it in the back. The last case of the Mobile 1 4t, or whatever the stuff is recommended in the manual. I figured I would stick with the exact stuff for this first change. Wow, that stuff is truly black gold!!! $50+ for the case.
Changing the oil was a breeze. I mean, like crazy easy. Ran her for about 10 minutes, pulled the plug, let her drain, forever! New washer, replaced the plug, pulled the filter, primed the new one, screwed it on, refilled. I mean, not for nothing, but that's probably the easiest thing I've ever done!
Definitely going in for the service though. Chain seems to have a bit too much play, and just want to make sure everything else is up to snuff!
Anyone notice there is no place for a dealers stamp for a 600 miles service in the owners handbook?
