Default worst oil change evaaaa.

worst oil change i've ever had to do occurred today. there is about 5 things that i will be complaining about, number 1, after taking the faring off i could not get the oil nut loose or off, so i took off a couple bolts on the exhaust to try to budge it a bit to get to the nut. i finally got to it, and it would not move for the ****ing life of it, so i took one wrench and anothering inside it to pull ( i was laying on the ground, pulled hard, nothing, pulled harder it came loose and the wrench hit me in the eye (gashes on my eyelid and directly to the right of it. well i was pretty pissed off by this time. then i could not get the oil filter off. (extremely hard since the muzzy exhaust has it on both sides of the filter, so i could only use my hands to loosen it, well that didn't work whatsoever, so i hit a screwdriver through both sides of the oil filter, hit the s.d. and it came loose, then after i put the oil in, i didn't have enough so i had to go to the store to buy more, came home did it, took me forever, finally it was done, but now sometimes the oil seems high, sometimes it seems low, and sometimes it seems good. so i gotta look over it tomorrow, if it seems high im gonna loosen the drain plug just enough for a bit of oil to come out. thanks for reading my bitching, just another stro day.l

As soon as you said, you took a wrench and another wrench to pull, I could see it coming!!

You have some luck..WOW man.

yea definately not looking forward to the next 3 thousand miles, it was the worst. i mean i had the wrench and tried hitting it (but not much clearance with the muffler/exhaust in the way, so it wouldn't budge nor work whatsoever, so i had to go to plan b and b for bad. lets just said i'm lucky it wasn't worse, at first it seemed like i was gonna need like 1-2 stitches of a butterfly cause it's opens when i move my eyebrow, but i think it will heal itself

now all i gotta do is new air filter and jet kit.........it cost me 40 bucks total to get my *** beat by that oil change......8 bucks for each thing of oil (32 bucks) and almost 6-8 bucks for the filter so it cost 40 ****in bucks, it costs me 20 bucks for a car oil change doing it myself. granted i used fully synthetic oil for hte bike but damn

Ya, I understand man..We have all done something like that one time or another. I was doing something stupid once, and I knew better. Long story short, I had 28 stitches put into my face!!....lol

Oil change is not too bad. I run full synthetic in my regular truck, big block, and that is a $50 oil change....The oil change in my big truck is 4x that easy!! Isn't it amazing how much preventitive maintance costs so much!!

Oh well, it gives us something to do and keeps us out of trouble....And some of us, doing our own work, it gives us battle scars we can brag about 5 years down the road!! lol lol
