Add me to the list of those going back to 30W with good results in less noise--- bike for me seemed to like the 30W

Did Baby's first oil change today. Probably the easiest thing to service I've seen in a long time. Put it up on my lift (I'm spoiled), slid the drain pan under the engine, removed the plug, who ever put the drain plug in should be fired never had a drain plug that loose. Go to remove the filter, just the opposite of the drain plug, had to use my strap wrench and lean on it to get the filter off. Put the new filter on, put the plug back it and fill it back up. Used a Chevron Techron bottle for a funnel with the bottom cut off, it will screw into the oil filler and it works sweet. Pour 1 Gal. of Honda 10W30 in and we are all good. Now it's adjust the chain time. A 1-1/16" socket and a 7/8" socket fit if you don't happen to have the metric size stuff. Lube the chain and we are done. Took it for a test ride and the backlash in the drive train is gone, chain didn't seem that sloppy.

My filter was on so tight from the factory that the body actually goigedninto the mounting spot! I had a fun time getting it loosened up.

Same here. Mine was on so tight I didn't think I could ever get it loose, but the drain plug was not overly tight.
Many here had the same experience with the oil filter.
