Scarver Oil Change

11,822 miles MLK Day 2012 was blessed with a beautiful 73 degree weather. Rode the bike for 10 min or so to get the engine warm. Then parked it on the side stand. The oil drain bolt is on the left side of the frame. Yes, the frame is the oil tank on this bike. Be careful when removing the plug. The oil will shoot out. There is a copper washer on the drain plug. Make sure to get it and replace it with the new one. Here is the oil filter kit. It comes with the filter and all the other washers you need to replace. I thought the oil might drip onto the frame, but it never did. There is a drain bolt on the bottom of the engine. It's a 24mm bolt. A quite bit, perhaps a 1/2 quart, of oil came out of the engine case. The bolt has a copper washer. It tends to stick to the engine case. Make sure to get the copper washer. So I need to get the oil filter cover off, but it looks like I need to take off the front sprocket cover off first. As I took off

clutch cable, lever, and cover

15,500 miles i replace clutch cable, clutch lever, and clutch lever cover. Total cost was a little shy of $50. to replace all that stuff, 1. get your tank up and sprocket cover off. with the tank up, you can get easier access when you are taking the old cable out and new one in. 2. undo the adjuster at the the clutch lever. (mine is wearing out. i need to get a new set.) undo the bolt holding the lever. 3. undo the nuts at circle 5, inside the sprocket cover. 4. with a small-head long-stem flat head screw driver, undo the little tab that holds the clutch cable. 5. back at the handle bar. line up the slit of the adjustment nut. unhook the cable from the lever and off through the slit. 6. to install, just reverse the order. and adjust it according to the manual (see the picture from step #3).
