How to change oil.

[samkjr]

Hey everybody. I did a search and there are just way too many post on changing oil. I plan on changing mine for the first time this weekend or the next.It all depends on when Idah's frame adapters come in the mail. At 6600 miles this will be the first change other than the 800 mile checkup. I also plan on going synthetic. Most likely amsoil.
Can someone post a link to or type their own directions on how to fully change out all the oil. From all the post I am seeing, there are several different methods. From the sounds of it I think I want to use the secondary plug where some little spring is instead of the traditional drain plug.
As I am mechanically still shaking hands with my bike getting to know its nuts and bolts(literally) clear directions and good pictures is what makes a GOOD set of directions.

thanks for the help. Once i get familiar with the process, I know I will save good money and keep it out of the dealers hands.



Clearly a side note here. with all the advanced lubricating properties of amsoil, money aside, would it be a good oil to use in my truck? Forget the fact that I would need 6 quarts of it.
