I was apprehensive about my first oil change. I read posts from three different folks. Good tips from all. super easy to do. Pulled shifter side lower plastic, easy. Removed 17 mm plug with open end wrench. Lots of room.
Left bike on kick stand. After through draining, replaced plug. Then up on center stand she went. I was able to remove old oil filter by hand ( thank you PO). Laying on back and reaching under from brake peddle side to get ahold of filter. Also not hard to access the filler plug, while engine was warm to soften plastic valve cover panel. But a little fiddly. Put in 4.1 quarts of T-6 synthtic shell 5-40 (19 bucks at napa) and Hi-Flo filter that looked almost identical to stock Honda filter. 8 bucks at Honda store. Spilled a little oil. Thanks for the help from members.
