So I did my own maintenance on my 2-fiddy.

Bought myself the following

Motorcycle Funnel
Vortex Spools
Pitbull Jack
Torque Wrench
Amsoil
Wix filter
Crush Washer for drain plug
Motul Chain Cleaner
Amsoil Chain Lube
Grunge Brush

Went very smoothly. I wasn't "DUE" for a change but I wanted to get rid of the Factory oil and run some good stuff in there. The end result is a smoother power band, a quite engine, and very noticeably smoother shifting. I rode around all morning just so I knew if there truly was a difference and there actually was.

Took me probably 30 minutes or so my first time because I took my time cleaning the snot out of my chain.

I highly recommend Amsoil or any other synthetic good quality oil vs the Dino oil.

I've got enough supplies till next season, I'll do it all over again before I throw it in storage. My bike is a pampered bike, because a clean engine, is a happy engine

Can't wait to burn out all my gas and see if my gas milage improves. On a 250 it takes a while to burn out the gas! LAWL!
