What Raven Did Next

Filed in Motorcycle Maintenance

1. Growled some more

2. Ate some Milano cookies

3. Got in a consultant

4. Tried the torque wrench, but the positioning of the plug is such that it requires a 17mm SHORT socket, and we only have a long one :: shrug ::

5. Moved to the left hand side of the bike

6. Attached 17 mm wrench as high up as poss. with the wrenchy part outwards and the sockety part on the plug

7. Trod on it. (Is that what they mean by 190 foot-pounds?)

8. Squee’ed internally as the plug shifted

9. Unscrewed it

10. Felt nervous when no oil came out

11. Went oops when a bunch of oil dumped on the ground

12. Drained the oil. Check.

13. Ate some more Milano cookies. (Maybe that should be 192 foot-pounds.)
