I decided to do an oil change on my own for the first time this morning. I had the oil, the drip pan, the new filter, all that stuff. I thought I had remembered reading something about the kickstand being in the way but I wasn't sure so I just kept going. I couldn't get the drip pan right where I wanted it because it hit the sidestand but it looked like it would be alright. I took the drain bolt out and the oil came streaming out...right out past the drip pan and onto the driveway. **** **** ****. So I stood up and all I could do was tip the bike upright and it changed the oil path so it went into the drip pan. The rest went fine but now I have a big oil spot in the driveway. It's another lesson learned the hard way.
