Randy...Come on he did not say he was going to do a service....just an oil change.
 Leigh it is pretty important to take your time with the refilling with new oil, dont forget to run the bike for several minutes, turn off and wait again several minutes and check the level with the bike on a level surface to see if it has reduced following circulation of the oil around the motor and filter.

It's also handy to replace the sump plug BEFORE you add the new oil.

A proper filter wrench also makes the job alot easier, especially tightening the new filter correctly.

After draining the oil into a suitable receptacle,and moving it carefully away from beneath the bike,avoid turning round and treading in it.
