Hey...know what day it is?

[the Ferret]

Hump... er.... Maintenance day

A quick check on Weatherbug says it would be a great day to ride...almost 60 degrees...if it wasn't pouring down rain. The map is very colorful!

2 out of 3 got oil changes, tire air pressures checked, the CB got chain slack checked and lubed. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate oil? Gads it gets everywhere.

BTW the CB is a CINCH to change oil on compared to the ST. I'd rather do 25 CB changes in a row than 1 ST change. Honda made the CB so easy to change the oil on EXCEPT for the smallish fill hole. Someday I will find just the right funnel for it.

Hmmm...which one of those oils did you put in the CB Just a rainy day type of question.....

I am very pleased to read that you had a nice day.

Looks like you're draining the CB with it sitting on the side stand instead of center stand? Do you always do that?

Looks to be on the center stand to me.

Both bikes are clearly uprite and on centerstands...what you lookin at Willis??:rofl:

Definitely on the centerstand, front wheel turned to the right. Drain oil from bottom left side, remove oil filter from right side front between pipes 2&3. Close enough together you can drain them both into the drain pan at the same time. Great design by Honda.

I stand corrected...was looking at it on an outdated smudged iPhone 4. Much clearer on the iPad now.

"Stand corrected". I see what you did there.

 

[Cormanus]

What's an I-stand?

Saw an ad recently for a company that makes custom funnels, and the end is threaded to match your oil cap, allowing you to screw the funnel into the engine. Sadly, wasn't in a position to write down the info. :huh:

I actually went to a small hardware store in the next town over the other day, the kind where they greet you at the front door, walk you to the isle you need, and put the part you need in your hand. We walk back to the funnel section. Nothing I see that will work. I say I want it fairly tall, flexible hose with an opening greater that 1/2" but smaller than 3/4". The guy disappears into the back, and came back with the exactly funnel I was looking for. $3.99. Done deal. He also commented that it was only 19 degrees out and that I was crazy to be riding a motorcycle in that weather. Lol
