Oil change
I have to change the oil in my bike... what kind of oil, how many drain plugs do i have (i know some honda's and Yamaha's have 2) what size is my filter and where is it located... i am pretty sure it is 3 3/4 quarts of 20W-50 synthetic... any advise would be great! thanks!

CLIFF NOTES:
3.75 liters/3.9 quarts multigrade SG oil (10-40; 20-50) dino or synth okay after 6000 miles. Dino recommended before 6K miles.
Oil filter is directly under center front of engine block and just behind header crossover pipe. Drain plug is right behind that - it is an 8mm hex.
Bike on centerstand and stablized. Drain plug, oil filter, short drain time, replace filter, replace plug, add oil at left cylinder head opening to center of sight glass. Run engine, wait several minutes, check level, top off.
It is easier than most bikes.
