good tip...

 

I just cut a 2 liter pop bottle to work for both the primary and oil filter. If it breaks for some reason I have a few drinks, empty another bottle and make a new one!

 

I just trimmed a funnel down that I bought for a dollar or two. I just trimmed the spout of the funnel at a slant to fit in the primary wihout making a mess. I liked the tips on here about the pop bottles catching oil after you pull the oil filter, I'll try that next time.

 

Cycle World showed it in there new parts section. Stopped by the dealer today and got one for 9.95 plus the sales tax.

It will be a while before I need to use it. My hands are not a steady as they were back in the day so it might save a clean up. I used a cut up laundry detergent bottle for the filter. It was shaped just right and does a good job. HD has one that goes along with the primary funnel but they want 19.95 for the little curved thingy.

I just changed my primary chain oil for the first time yesterday. I took an old windshield washer container (like a Clorox gallon container) and cut it so it would fit in the derby opening. Didn't spill a drop!

 

Damn,so that is what that little doodad is for !

I have been "borrowing" it for the scoot and just hitting it with some brake cleaner to clean it back up after the oil change.

Think I'll be hitting with brake cleaner before I use it as a oil funnel from now on.

 

That's actually a great product.......kinda pricey but a great idea.

Filling the primary can be a PITA....

Fast forward to Wal-Mart's auto section......I think it was $4.00-$5.00.

You put the exact amount you need in the reservoir, then open the valve, in it goes.

Didn't spill a drop.

 

You can get those all day long for that price at any HD dealer. It's a new item in the spring supplement HD catalog.
