So im doing my first ever oil change by myself so bare with me while I explain my dilema.
My father never changed any oil in his vehicles growing up, we always took it to a garage so I have never witnessed first hand what to do.
I am well aware of the basics. Take off oil plug, drain oil, remove filter, replace filter and plug, fill it up and pray you did it right. Not an issue there.
My questions:
Should I warm the bike up first?
Change filter each time?
I Only have rear stand, would it be better to just change oil flat on ground rather then just on the rear stand?
Changing to Synthetic Oil for first time, is there something special I need to do to prepare bike for change from regular oil to synthetic?
Anyways didnt mean to start yet ANOTHER oil thread but unfortunatly there are so many that finding simple answers is harder then you might think..
Thank you in advance for any advice you can give..
