    Found another,

    It's really kind a funny. On Page 27 at the top right below the listed a.b.c.d.e.f. order, the paragraph say's and I QUOTE! There are a number of ways to discard the old oil safely. The easiest way is to pour it from the drain pan into a plastic bleach or milk bottle. Tighten the cap and place it carefully in the trash.

    Just below that there's a NOTE: Never dispose of motor oil in the trash.....

    What can I say, I thought it was funny

      Yeah, but if you CAREFULLY place it in the trash, you will have the pleasure of seeing oil run into the street after the trash truck compresses the garbage. OK, it was a loooong time ago and I am greener now.

        Resuscitating this

        I got nervous a couple of weeks ago when I read about the swing arm bearing torque error, and did a search to see if there was a clymer errata thread. Found this.

        Would love to see any additions if folks know. I know I should get a Haynes and I will do that.
