Default Oil change on my 96 RK...

Anyone have steps to change the oil on a 96FI RK?
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
&nbsp\\;
On my softail, I pull the line coming out of the oil tank, but the ends on the lines coming out of the tank on my RK doesnt look like they come off like they do on the Nastalgia...

Thanks!

It's so easy it's scary.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I had the link somewhere.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; The oil plug is on the right (hand brake side) sits not that far under the bike very assessable.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; The drain plug sits on the side of the oil tank (not the bottom)...that's where it is on the '06 anyway.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Get the oil filter removal tool from any Stealership. Took me 30 minutes.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Bought a torque wrench but you really don't need that.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; The only problems some guys have is overtightening the oil plug and stripping the thread (not good).&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Get a new O ring when you go and replace the plug O ring. Google it and I'm sure you'll find it.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Once you do it you'll kick yourself for not doing it all along.
