How do you change your motorcycle oil?

I go for a ride and get it all warm.


I put a pan underneath and pull the plugs from the trans and oil tank.


When they're done dripping, I put the plugs back.


Then I pull the plug from the primary, and remove the derby cover.


When that's done dripping, the plug goes back in.


I remove the old oil filter and replace it with a new one.


I put a quart in the primary and replace the derby cover.


I drop a quart in the tranny.


3 quarts in the oil tank.


Dump the used oil in the storage container.


I then call it good and go for another spin.
