Just completed my 1st oil & filter and tranny fluid change. What a stone simple task that turned out to be. Used some spare cardboard for make shift funnels and nary a drop of dino juice anywhere on the bike. Used a small plastic funnel with a clear hose attached to fill the tranny, and a different colored one to fill the engine oil. Also used a small block of wood under the kick stand while filling the tranny. Have a Pit Bull stand on the way to simplify the process. Quickest and easiest fluid change of any 2 wheeled vehicle I've owned.

It can't get any easier to do a fluid change...I have caps that screw on the oil bottles that have a pointed funnel/snout. I take the oil cap off..screw on this pointed cap and squeeze the oil in..no funnel, or hose needed.

Adrian: I looked for exactly what you use. Did you purchase the pointed caps, or get them from other containers?

I have found that transmission oil funnels work great on filling oil in any vehicles I have serviced! I have also been known to combine funnels to great effect.

Excuse the dumb question (got to get that service manuel) but any of the stuff (torx, bodywork fasteners, bolts screws, plugs etc.)that are required to remove /loosen to change both fluids require locktight when reassembled. What about muffler removal re-installation as well......

Thanks
