Member Contributer VfrJedi7 Posted July 19, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted July 19, 2018 Today changed out my oil/filter, DCT clutch filter along with the final drive shaft oil change. I didn't realize the shaft fill plug was aluminum and I cracked the head right off! Left was the threaded part in the fill hole. Inside my mind I let out this noooooooo like when luke found out Darth Vader was his pops! Lol. Thank the gracious almighty Lord I was able to manually with my finger untwist the broken threaded piece. Ordered a new cap from my local dealer and it will arrive on Tuesday. Boy did I learn my lesson today about that fill plug. Other than that all else went well with engine oil/filter change and dct clutch oil filter. I even managed time to install a smoked double bubble windscreen also. I have not posted any pictures yet because I'm waiting to receive and install a rear tire hugger I just ordered. Also have some r&g fork sliders to install as well soon. Then I'm going to wash her up and post some pics with all the goods I installed. Anyways I'm glad I didn't have a major problem today. Ride safe fellow Vfr riders. Peace 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAY004 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I just installed a PUIG smoked screen too. Actually no impressed with it out of the bag. Mounting points at the base are not molded into the plastic like the OEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My windscreen is from eBay and I got it for around $22. Not cheap quality at all. My rear tire hugger was put on about 2 weeks ago and funny it's a puig. Have to say I love my bike! Riding brings so much pleasure and enjoyment. Real freedom when ever you want. Just hop on and twist the throttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer VfrJedi7 Posted August 30, 2018 Author Member Contributer Share Posted August 30, 2018 I hear ya Dutchy. Ride till frosty comes knocking. MaxSwell know all about hurricanes here in Florida. Ishark are you talking about a billet cap for the engine oil because I bought one from eBay or are you talking about the final drive oil filler cap? Here is a photo of the oil filler cap I purchased. They come in different colors also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
