Hard to believe it's as easy as that on a vic, and all there is to do now is right a bunch until you do it again. I think some bikers are afraid they will get tired of there bike if they ride that much. HMMMMMM!

The guy that designed the motor and the where the filter is and drain plug must do his own.
Only one problem why didn't they make the bottom end a little larger so it would take all 5 quarts. What to do with a 1/2 quart dog doesn't like it and the cat doesn't know what to do with it.

I wouldn't mind if the plug wasn't some weird torx/allen wrench thing...

Your safe, Amsoil was tested for staleness. It passed the Government mandated levels.

It lessens the chance you'll over tighten and strip the plug.

Pouring rain? That's usually me. Going on a four day trip this weekend, so it should cloud up nicely by then, methinks...
