Man do I feel mechanically De-clined. All I want to do is change the dayum oil. I have the suzuki repair manual, the suzuki filter, I have the correct size wrench for the oil bolts, I bought the correct size plug socket for the drain plug yesterday, I have the 10W-40 motor oil, grabbed a matt to use when under the bike, (very dirty (dusty) garage), phew I'm exhuasted!! So after running around getting all the pieces together, I finally get back to the garage, the bike is nice and warm. Step One.. unscrew the oil fill plug. Yeah, it won't budge. I grab pliers and still no go. WTF!!!! I have no WD-40 with me and the sun is setting. (the garage is skylit).
Meanwhile, I decide to see if the plug socket fits the drain plug, and it does, and I loosen it a bit. not enough to let it drain. As I'm screwing it back in I realize it won't tighten... not completely anyway. Just keeps turning. Errrrr
Questions:
I Sprayed some WD-40 around the seem on the oil fill this morning. Is this correct?
What solvent should I use to clean the drain plug, as I believe it won't tighten due to oil sludge build up around the threads?
Also, someone mention I should be using "motorcycle oil" as opposed to Motor oil. What's the difference?
thanks ya'll
