Its not so bad guys....... Did my first oil and filter change on the XTX last weekend, followed the instructions in the manual, 1.9L then race the engine 4-5 times, then add the last 0.7L.......Perfect

The only niggle I had was getting the old oil out of the bike, without getting oil all over the bike. I made some little cardboard shoots and slides and not a drop fell on the bike. Woohoo
