RE: How-To: F4i Oil Change

Is the oil change on the 03 600RR the same?

Yes, same basic procedure. Bodywork rules may require modification, some bikes require more to come off than others.

RE: How-To: F4i Oil Change

I have sort of a problem. I took my bike toa shop to get some work done on it and the guy had to take the wheel off. Well, when he put the tire back on and aligned the chain back up, he tightened the bolt waaaay too tight. Now I can'tloosen itby hand with a socket. What should I do? I don't feel too comfortable using an impact drill on it since you're not supposed to take it all the way off.

I've heard of shops doing strange things, but removing a rear wheel for an oil change just about takes the cake. What were they doing, checking the level?

If you have access to an impact, do it yourself just to crack the nut.

if you dont' have an impact wrench, use a bar to extend the handle on your socket wrench, this will give you more torque to turn the nut...make sure you're turning it correctly too!

Oh sorry. When I went to the web site, I clicked on the link about adjusting the chain.

get a socket wrench that is long so you can use you foot to kick it, just like you do to loosen the nuts of your car.

I use this thing as it is solid:
