Hi,
Got my first K and doing some regular maintenance.
I read that: Before changing any oil always remove the filler plug first. The last thing you want is to drain it and then not be able to refill it. This is seldom an issue on K bikes though.
While doing an oil filter change I did not remove the plug first, I removed the oil pan first, then the plug. This was a mistake (as per above) am I up the creek? Not sure I understand why that is so bad? What do I do to fix this?
Thanks
