alrighty... someone (forget who it was) told me that leaning the bike over will still lose some oil - but I will give it a shot. I don't want to lose much of that golden nectar that sells for $18/liter
That's how I changed the filters on my KTM RFS' though, so I believe you.

re: the CCT.... pm me the specifics please
Digging through the TE thread in Thumpers is like trying to find a needle in a haystack for some things.

Tastes great, less filling.....

It's a floor polish, a dessert topping, a personal lubricant......

And fast too, I only had time for a small yogurt and Dave hardly had time for a small cup of coffee. It was an amazing sight.
