so how bout ya'll ever had that moment...

 

what about running up to a auto store , i know ones in my area carry motorcycle oil as well . but yes ive had one of those moments... and id be lying if i meant just 1 lol but good job for working on your own bike! im sure you will learn from this mistake

 

Murphy's 1st law, "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong & at the most inconvenient time". We have all done it.

 

Oil is relatively cheap, and it's always a good idea to have an extra supply in the garage! I have 12 quarts in my garage now. Come to think of it, I have a lot of cheaper spare parts for the bike in my garage: extra set of levers, extra CCT, extra grips, windscreen, etc..

 

Yep, we all have our "DUHHHH" moments! This spring seems to have brought more than my fair share though. I swear, if I forget my kickstand and put it the bike in gear one more time - I'm going to get off the bike and kick my own ***.

 

my first oil change on the bike i forgot to tighten that bolt like theres no tomarrow and it popped out and im passing cars like the squid i was and my back end swings out and the bike goes sideways, oil on the tires, i almost blew it up stupid squid i was [sm=headbang.gif][sm=headbang.gif][sm=headbang.gif]

 

One of the first times I changed oil (on a car) half the oil ended up on my shirt and the other half was on the floor. However, that not as bad as the time this kid drained the transmission fluid on accident then filled the engine with oil. Drove out and heard the tranny grinding.

 

im just tryin to figure out how u got threw all 4 quarts without realizin that u were standing in a puddle?

 

good point lol

 

it had one of those things were you put you oil so it wasent runnign in the ground, it just went straight to the container, well i just got back and filled the oil and colent fluid and bout to take her for a ride...
