After 1,800 miles on my new Ninja, it felt like the right time for it's first oil change. Fortunately, Lila was up for the job and helped by dropping a ratchet extension into the exhaust pipe. After fishing it out with a magnet, I realized I had no idea how much oil to put in, so I guessed at 3 quarts and later discovered I was correct. One of the nice things about this motorcycle (in addition to fuel injection, foldable mirrors, and digital speedometer) is a spin-on oil filter. The last 3 motorcycles I owned had a filter element that was a pain in the ass to remove and replace, now it's just like a car oil change.
