The odyssey begins !

Thanks all for cheering me on and all the kind words. I have been blessed with mechanical and electrical skills that showed up when I was very young. It has been very handy throughout my life and I feel very fortunate for it. Maybe not as good as being good looking and able to sing but it's nothing to sneeze at

I would again like to thank Rick (vanguard138) for letting me ride biotch on his bike back to the hotel. Without him you would have just found a broken rocket and two skeletons alongside the road !
 
What is all involved in pulling the pan, I figure the 3 drain bolts and all the other bolts holding the pan. What about all the other bigger bolts? Doing 10k service and want to see how much crap is on the screens.

My father is also mechanically inclined. I remember when I was about 11 (which is odd cause' I can't remember what I had for breakfast) he bought his first motorcycle. It was a well worn 1966 Kawasaki 250 Samurai with a blown tranny. He took that engine all the way apart in the basement on the ping-pong table. Took him a couple tries to get it together (leaving parts out) but he got it running good again, painted it (huge) metal flake blue. He had never worked with metal flake either. Turned out to be a really nice looking, reliable bike. When I got my first dirt bike it was made clear that when it breaks I would also get a chance to get my hands dirty. It did, and I did, and I found I really enjoyed wrenching. By the time I was 14 I was fixing other peoples bikes for money including the local drug dealers' Harley's. Today I work in the food industry repairing food packaging equipment. Here is a short video I found on youtube. It's not my plant but it's all the same equipment we use. It's made by a Swedish company called Tetrapak.
