I finally got around to changing out the oil. I've been meaning to changing it out at 200 miles and it's just over 600 miles now on the odometer. I picked up a Wix filter from O'Rielly's and a Purolator from Pep Boys. The Purolator filter is of similar construction to that of the stock Kawasaki oil filter whereas the Wix is of high quality. You can see the defined and thick pleats of the Wix filter element compared to the thin pleats of the Purolator.

When I dumped the oil, I could see the fine metal shavings draining from the old filter.

I had gotten some M10 bolts but somehow one of the bolts got mixed into the batch so one was the wrong pitch. Still and enough bite for me to lift the bike up with the stand though.
