Service tips.
Changed the oil, filter and fuel filter on mine today. Couple of tips for people. The fuel filter is located underneath the cowling just in front of the drivers side rear wheel. Also when draining the oil don't bother trying to use one of those drain trays that looks like a big jerry can. It can't cope with the amount of oil coming out and will go everywhere! I used a paint kettle and worked lovely. Also my new oil came in 1l containers and refilling was much easier than trying to use a big 4 or 5l container. Then I used the empty containers to dispose of the old oil at a suitable centre like the local refuse centre.
