This work was done on September 5, 2013. Something happened to the post, it got frozen and wouldn't update.
It's only been a year since I changed the oil and filter. I could find
the oil drain plug fine. But, I had to look in the book to find the damn
filter location. And, as is often the case in the books they show you a
picture, they don't show you if it's front or back, left or right side.
Thankfully it's an external spin off filter.
The oil and oil filter got changed. I came up a little short on the oil. The book says 3.3 quarts I had a solid 3 quarts on hand and about 6 ounces of MMO (Magical Mystery Oil) which many people swear by. Although, when I got out on the road riding hard it seemed like things were a little noisy. I stopped and got a quart of oil and added about a half quart which may have been a little too much. The bike seemed to quiet down a bit.
I changed the final drive oil with 80W90. Although, the book calls for 80W, I couldn't find any 80W.
Both front and rear brake fluid were changed.
