Re: Change Your Oil

Do you remember an approx. cost ?
Do you have the high or low note?

Re: Change Your Oil (hey jonathan.)

No really it ISN'T.
Everything works quite good leaned over on the side stand and the filter even drains better that way (but it still is MESSY when you open the cover).

Two exceptions: To...

I think you should read up on "high-mileage" oils a bit more.
It is indeed good stuff for an OLD engine; cut the oil use about 1/2 in my old pickup truck
BUT........
One of the things it does is...

Re: Not Snippy at All!

Slack is slack. If it didn't feel like slack, then it isn't and needs to be adjusted. I would do that first BEFORE you try to lube the cable (which is NOT as easy as you might think).

What I should have said is check the adjustment of the clutch...
