So, I decided that with the 70 degree weather, I would break down and change my oil. I've got everything I need, or so I thought. Oil, filter, torque wrench (own two now...further grrr), drain pan, hex sockets (make my life easier)....oh wait! The 17mm socket you have it TOO SMALL. Ok. No problem. I'll just wait until this weekend and get a larger set. Besides, I need it for the chain adjustment because the stealership either did a crappy job just last september, It's just a really loose chain, or it's time to replace it. Either way, I don't have a driver big enough for the axle nut. Put the lower plastic back on before I park the bike again...
Now, I noticed when I took the plastic off that it was beat up. I mean bad. Someone bottomed this thing out a few times and it wasn't me. No big deal. It's getting repainted this fall/winter anyway I hope. Well look at that. It fell apart...the center piece, that joins the two halves together, it busted off...no wonder it looked odd when I took it off...
An oil change has just become an expensive thing...who said this was supposed to be easy again??? And can someone tell me what size socket I'm going to need for the drain plug and axle nut? None of my books say.
