Title: It's taking so long to get it in these days!

Looking for any suggestions as how to get it in quicker.........................oil that is! :ohplease:
Without the genuine Kawasaki crash protectors it was easy enough, but with them on it's an absolute bu**er!
:censored:
Could take crash bars off but that then just prolongs the 10 minute oil and filter change that is the beauty of the GTR!
Resulted to a filler spout from a gear oil bottle and a length of plastic tube connected!
Took an age for a job that should take minutes!
If anyone has fabricated anything to speed the filling process, or knows of a good funnel / thingy for filling, please pass on the knowledge!

I got one of these. Suck the oil out of the container and squirt it in to the bike..

And here I am just squishing in a normal funnel... One can always have a beer or two or three waiting for it to all get in.

If I had a third hand I'd agree! However, one hand holding the funnel, another precariously holding a 4 litre bottle of oil being tipped so F'n slowly as to not overflow the modified filling tool, that was my complaint! :gun_bandana:
Anybody work in the NHS......get us an intravenous drip stand......double bag holder.....one for the oil and one for the liquid painkiller!

Way forward has gotta be one of them suck it up and squeeze it out jobbies! :wink:
