1st time i 13 yrs

[patrick]

for the 1st time since I bought my 1st bike on 2001, today I changed the engine oil and filter and final drive oil.

Nothing was stuck it was a simple process.

One question though.... is there a way to get the oil round the system before starting up?

I think some people add oil to the oil filter before putting the filter on.
It doesn't take long for the oil to circulate anyway

Shame on you for not ever having done this simple task before, on any bike!

  Well done Patrick that's more than I have ever done .. and NO I am not hanging my head in shame ! ( Steve !!!)

I'll skip the sack cloth for  not doing it before!

The oil light soon went out though!!

Bloody 'ell I had to read that twice.  First time I read it I thought that it was the first time the oil had been changed in 13 years!!
