New oil spot in the garage.

NONE_too_SOFT · 04-17-2009, 06:50 PM

I took my brakes off today in prep for chging my caliper out and setting up the SS lines on monday, and decided while I was at it i'd change the oil as well. So i get the bike purring to warm the oil up a bit, and get all the stuff i need together to change the oil. or so i thought. After 10 mins of idling I shut her down and cracked the seal on the drain plug and then went to grab my oil pan...

Shit, where did i put my oil pan? after frantically running around my estate looking for ANYTHING to drain the oil into i realize i forgot to re-seal the drain plug, and sure enough i have a 4 inch oil stain right under the bike.

It sucks when u get halfway through a project and realize you dont have the proper tools.

Just shows you actually work on stuff yourself.

I have many.

Though if you leave floor dry (or kitty litter) on it for awhile, most of it will go away.

When starting a job.

1. Identify the tools required to finish the project
2. Set said tools out (or at least know where they are)
3. Do job
4. Clean tools and return to proper location for next usage.
