what a fuckin joke! Do you /really/ have to take the whole fricken right side engine casing off to change a poxy screen? that means brake lever off, clutch off, oil pipes off...! for one screen!!!! seriously!!!

Another thing the previous owner managed to do was round off the sump bolt! Luckily got it off but now I need a new one Rolling Eyes

Why can't it be easy like a yam WR or KTM EXC is Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

Pretty sure either there is still oil in the bike, or there was never 1.8ltrs in there!

You dont need to clean the screen filter that offen, just regular oil changes like after ever 30 hours.
