I thought my CRF450R mx bike was a pain in the ass....I used to change the oil after every 1-2hrs of run time (maybe 2 trips to E-town at most) 15-50 mobil 1 for the engine, shell Delvac for the clutch/trans IIRC....what a pain lol.Oh man, I remember those. I thought I remember the 'plug' was too flimsy for an impact and we resorted to chisels on the bad ones.
Oil change related: I changed the oil on my Husqvarna 701 Vitpilen last night. Same engine as the KTM 690 Duke (a bunch of KTMs, I guess). Craziest thing I've ever seen. The oil change kit includes TWO filters, two cylindrical screens, two new caps for the screens, 8 o-rings, and a new crush washer! It was $65. The recommended oil was $60 for 4L, enough for two changes with some left over.

Does the bike share oil between the trans and engine?
