the only thing they didnt tell you above, is that you should get a fumoto valve-
makes the oil change a lot easier... no more washer changes, torque checks, etc.

You could get a fumoto valve for free if you go to the Dragon and find the one a member lost as he was driving! He lost all his oil (of course) and a Harley rider laid down his bike when he hit the oil trail.
That story was the end of the fumoto valve idea for me.
(BTW - he swears it was properly torqued).

I don't jack mine up to change oil or filter,just drop filter and reach down abt 4 inches further and you will feel a hex there, thats the drain plug,remove with a socket, short extension and ratchet. Piece of cake
