    It does get easier. When I got my bike, I talked to a guy who volunteered at my police department. He owned a custom bike shop. He let me bring my bike and "help" him work on it. Although I was not much help. Before too long, I was able to actually do the work myself. I ended up learning fork seals, chain and sprocket replacement, oil change, clutch replacement, and various cosmetic procedures.

      Now you know how to change the oil on your bike, and you are more aligned with the machine. Next time, you will do better.

      You have done well, grasshopper.

        buy a kn race filter next time... they have hex heads on em so you dont need any special suzki tools.

        And in the instance you dont have one... take a hammer and pound a screwdriver throgh the side of it.. and twist...
