[QUOTE="Slade, post: 736191, member: 20306"] Just found this thread after doing my first oil change on Friday. Whew. I was really wondering about that oil drain plug. Even talked to the dealer about it. Had to use a LONG wrench to break it free. Fortunately no thread damage that I can see. But it helps to hear that it wasn't just mine. I'm also thinking that the bike was overfilled at the factory as the new level with the prescribed 4L is definitely lower on the sight glass (but easily within the two dots). I do have to say though that so far this is the easiest bike to work on for general maintenance than any of my six previous bikes. :D Now to find that PAIR removal thread. :o [/QUOTE]
