On the oil change, I very much like the step where you use the tin foil to direct oil away from the headers after removing the filter. Geez, I wish I could use my own monkey brain to figure that out. Great idea. Much better than wiping the headers down then waiting for the rest to burn off after starting the bike.

Can't wait to see how to adjust the valves!!

Great looking site. Isn't the drain bolt a 12mm? There's no way its an 8. I just got my magnetic drain plug in the mail along with checking the existing bolt and they're both 12.

edit: maybe the 01-03's are different, mine is an 04.

Lubing chain:
1st gear at idle (on rear stand) allows 1 person to lube the INSIDE of the chain. Lubing the outside is a waste.
