That’s alright, it’s now the next owners problem. Which may be sooner than expected. I changed the oil just now, well, tried to.
first off, a flood of gasoline came out of the drain plug. Like, at least a gallon. It flooded my drain pan and spilled all over my garage.
Then the bolt holding the oil filter assembly was super rusted and degraded. Plus, the engine guard bar was in the way so I had to take that off. All the bolts are seized, but thankfully a few snapped off and I was able to move it out of the way. I’m going to cut the rest of them off with my dremel as soon as I move the bike somewhere not filled with gasoline fumes. I had to use a very aggressive extractor socket to get it off. I changed the filter and O rings, then used a less aggressive extractor to put it back on, lol.
finally, I cleaned the little filter on the bottom. It’s strange because none of my other bikes have one. Well of course putting it back on, two of the fucking little bolts snapped. I used an inch pound torque wrench set to 60 inch pounds to go for the factory spec of 4.5-6 ft pounds. I’m about to take this thing to the junkyard.. I was planning on attempting to start it right now, not having to figure out how to remove these broken bolts. I’m hoping that they didn’t break flush with the bottom of the crankcase and I can just grab them with pliers.
