On the oil change, I very much like the step where you use the tin foil to direct oil away from the headers after removing the filter. Geez, I wish I could use my own monkey brain to figure that out. Great idea. Much better than wiping the headers down then waiting for the rest to burn off after starting the bike.

Can't wait to see how to adjust the valves!!

Great looking site. Isn't the drain bolt a 12mm? There's no way its an 8. I just got my magnetic drain plug in the mail along with checking the existing bolt and they're both 12.

edit: maybe the 01-03's are different, mine is an 04.

Lubing chain:
1st gear at idle (on rear stand) allows 1 person to lube the INSIDE of the chain. Lubing the outside is a waste.

Yes, same basic procedure. Bodywork rules may require modification, some bikes require more to come off than others.

I have sort of a problem. I took my bike to a shop to get some work done on it and the guy had to take the wheel off. Well, when he put the tire back on and aligned the chain back up, he tightened the bolt waaaay too tight. Now I can't loosen it by hand with a socket. What should I do? I don't feel too comfortable using an impact drill on it since you're not supposed to take it all the way off.

I've heard of shops doing strange things, but removing a rear wheel for an oil change just about takes the cake. What were they doing, checking the level?

If you have access to an impact, do it yourself just to crack the nut.
