[QUOTE="Hudson, post: 1131959, member: 15488"] I think the 1190 avoids the hassle of the 990, where you had to pull off a shit ton of plastic bits to change out the oil. That said, oil changes are pretty close to the process on my Husky. The oil filter is an internal one, like on most dirt bikes, and the engine has two other "screens" behind a cover that are pulled out and cleaned, and placed back into the engine. Process is: 1. Take off skid plate 2. loosen drain plug and drain oil 3. remove oil filter cover and remove and replace oil filter 4. Remove, clean, and replace oil screen #1 5. Remove, clean, and replace oil screen #2 6. Fill with new oil. Comparison to the FJR which is about as easy as it gets, there are three more steps (skid plate, and two oil screens). Adds about 15-20 more min to the FJR's 20 min oil change. [/QUOTE]
