This has probably been answered - but I'll throw it out.
My shop is good - but pricey. And I'm out of work.
And my 650 needs an oil change.
The previous owner gave me his shop manual, along with the machine...well and good. But although I can get the crankcase drained (a no-brainer) and even the transmission drain, I cannot get to the transmission FILL plug until I peel off all the tupperware!
The manual doesn't address this - their photo shows the side stripped down, that's all.
The CHASSIS section shows the tupperware exploded; but it looks like i have to remove all the front end before I get the lower side strips off.
Is that true?
Meantime...it was time; and it was halfway through the job I found this problem. So I just said the **** with it, put fresh oil in the crankcase. Didn't change the filter because I'm gonna have to do it over again soon anyway, once I learn how to do it right.
I just wanted fresh oil in there...it was way past due and I'm looking and maybe a fall trip.
Input or shortcuts?
