So, today I started a "routine" oil change. And then good old Murphy stepped in and layed down the "Law." Because of my 4-1 exhaust, I have to loosen the exhaust nuts to give me some space to drain the oil. The rear bracket was still bolted up and while I loosening the # 2 nuts the pipe dropped to the floor????? I looked under the bike and the #2 exhaust pipe is sitting against the floor and I I can see a gaping hole where it USED to go into the 4-1 condenser
I took it down to a muffler shop. The guy walks up, looks in the back of my truck, and says "looks like a four shooter, what's that off of?" I tell him, he nods and tells me how he just bought a '68 RD250. He welded it back on for $18
Back to the oil change. I was putting my filter, and what not, back together and wondered which side of the filter the washer went on. I came in and pulled up the expolded view from Yamaha and noticed #7, the compression spring? I have a lockhart oil cooler and adapter, but no spring. Is there supposed to be one?
Could anything else go wrong w/ this oil change? Why do the simplest jobs turn into the worst
