    Is there a video on oil change ?

    I cud not find any video online on a oil and filter change. I have 1000 miles and wanted to switch to full synthetic fluid. Don't want to take it to the dealer. Long wait and costly.

    I'm not trying to be smart but here's a YouTube of a cute 5 year old doing it on a Goldwing:

    Those instructions should work fine for your "6". Really though, this job is so simple and easy that video instructions may not be necessary. You don't even have to remove the lower cowl for this job. Of course, if you've added a belly pan, you will have to work with that. You may want to consider the Fumoto Quik Valve to make future oil changes even easier. I love those things .

    I just looked at Fumoto. Where do I find the one that fits F6b ?

    You really would benefit from using our Search function. Simply enter "Fumoto" and see what you find. If you still have trouble, let us know.

    Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.

    More Room

    If you feel a little creative you can massage the front cowl a tad and it will give you some additional room whenever changing the filter

    Here's my Thread on the mod!

    Not a super big priority for most here if you haven't noticed.

    * Very Thankful for the exceptions!

    Sorry to disagree, I see the post as showing the OP how simple it is, and that he can't screw it up ... even a 5 year old can do it.

    The second reply answered the Original Poster's Question if there was a video showing an oil change, which there was.

    I took the response as HUMOR, no need to get our panties in a wad nor start drama on this board.

    Attendees of the last 2 F6B Rallies will VOUCH for our HUMOROUS ways, laughter is part of life. We were even kicked out from a Hotel Pool earlier in the year (Key West ride) because we were laughing so much at each others expense, I blame Fire-Tech, 3putt, DeerSlayer and HornBlower for that one. I had never been ousted from a pool for having too much fun

    Just ask Calvin, our SEXIEST Rider award recipient at the Rally, he rolled with the punches and we all had a good laugh at his expense. I know that he will get me back sometime in the future but we are GROWN men with THICK skin that can take a little bit of sarcasm or in this case humor.

    RELAX and look at it from the funny side, this board is NOTHING like any other Forum on the web, we ALL get along and I have YET to meet anyone at the multiple gatherings that we've had in Daytona or Franklin that I didn't like ! (Dickie, I love you too )


    Let's ride and don't take everything posted too seriously .....
