Please help me learn the rihgt way to change the oil and filter. I have asked before and everyone sugest different things. So far I have learned 1. Start engine and let it run to get warm
2. Take oil plug out and drain oil
3.put plug back in
4. take filter out put new in
5. Fill with oil roughly 3.1 quarts 10w40sj
6. Start bike let it run 5-10min
7. Check oil for appropriate level on dipstick
Please tell me if I missed anything or have anything wrong. Some guys are telling me it is more complicated than this. Some suggest starting the engine after draining the oil to get more oil out. (is this safe)
