Lol... I litterally just did this over the winter. You won't need to drain the oil but be damn careful when getting the old gasket out or scraping it off so that no debris falls into the engine. I changed my oil after I did it tho On Wed, May 15, 2019, 2:28 PM Jenya Spektor wrote: > Since this

It's been an issue since I bought the bike. When I bought it, someone had already installed aftermarket LED garbage signals which never worked anyways. And they were spliced in. I'm not a fan of electrical things for this reason. Lol On Tue, Mar 26, 2019, 8:06 AM Darin Hatton wrote: > Did this
