Title: yosh exhuast/ oil change advise
Post by: mes_423 on May 13, 2004, 09:24:10 PM
well i changed my oil in my bike a few days ago, and heres some advice to those who have a yosh system, and have yet to do a oil change. well ive done the oil change on the bike in the past and it was a piece of cake (except when i snapped the bolts on the oil filter cap, DONT OVER TIGHTEN :mrgreen: ) but the yosh system gets in the way a bit, so you have to losen the headers quiet a bit. i actually had to take the left side header out of the engine to get the old oil filter out and put the new one in. after that it was pretty easy. it took oh about a 30mins to change the oil, next time im hoping for 20min.  :thumb:  the bike is looking cherry and riding sweet now. i changed the oil, degreased the engine, cleaned and lubed the chain, and i had to wash my baby. ahhh the love between a man or woman and there bike. :kiss:

I just pull the whole exhaust. Only takes a couple of minutes.
