I agree, i still check if i question my memory. (which happens more lately, lol)  I deal with so many types of vehicles on a daily basis i always prefer to make sure.

Just did my own oil change for the first time on my Vision. Granted i am lucky by having a hydraulic bike lift in the garage so I am able to work on the bike without it being on the side stand, also much easier to drain the pan and remove the filter when its at waist height.
At the recommendation of so many of you on here, I purchased a case of Amsoil. Thinking to myself "ok, these guys say you can tell a difference immediately..... they must be smoking too much crack". Well, I am now living proof that the bike runs totally different
right from the get go. After doing the oil change and cleaning up, i wanted to take the bike for a couple mile run to fully pump the oil into all the necessary places, check for leaks etc. The FIRST thing I noticed was that the engine was quieter. Secondly, I have mentioned this in a post before, how difficult it is to get this bike into Neutral. I read from a few of you that the Amsoil takes care of that
AND IT DID I M M e D I A t e l y ! I dont have to throttle up to get it to slip into neutral anymore. The engine is smoother than before as well, (as if it needed to be any smoother). So FYI 4.5 quarts of Amsoil tops it off properly, the process is a breeze, and there is no mess if you use a hospital bed pan to catch the old oil.
