Tackled an oil change on the new-to-me 2007 yesterday. What a treat to be able to sit down next to the bike and complete the oil change without getting up because everything is right there in front of you on one side of the bike. Sure beats having to remove body work and having the fill on one side and filter on the other. Pleased to see that the previous owner had placed a couple of small but powerful magnets on the drain plug - the kind of touch that indicates he cared, which is what you want from a PO. Oil coming out of the bike was pristine, but I now I know what is in it and what the mileage is. I didn't go anywhere near the 31 ft/lb torque spec for the drain plug - seemed plenty snug at half that value.
Next up some fresh rubber then heading west for a two-week trip.
