Changed Engine Oil and Filter this afternoon plus final drive oil since it's been 28,000k after the final drive repair. Was going to do that last oil change but forgot so that's all good for another 30,000k

Used Castrol Active 4T 15W-50 (cost $35.99) for the third time and Repco ROF135 oil Filter for $7.50.

No issue doing final drive nor should there be but I wasn't quick enough removing hand away from engine drain hole and gave my left hand a warmish oil wash and being the environmentally conscious person that I am split some on the ground as well.

Biggest hassle was finding somewhere to park the bike. I normally park in the back yard on concrete but there was hardly a place I could lay on the cement without me being the main course for the local ant colonies. The space in front of the car in the driveway was almost ant free so that where I parked.
