2001 Yamaha 650 V-star oil change

Anyone want to give me any easy tips? I have to do a tune up on my future sister in laws' bike.

Just being lazy, I haven't even looked at the bike yet. I hear the 1100's are a real PITA.

I can't tell you much about the V-Stars except that if you plan to do any maint\repairs yourself, a factory service manual should be the first thing you buy so you know what & when to service certain items.

Not my bike, just doing a favor for a friend. She doesn't have the manual, nor does she want to buy it.

I'll be swinging by the Yamaha dealer sooner or later to get this mess figured out.

I did a bit of looking around online to see if I could find an online manual somewhere but didn't see one. Usually the Owners Manual gives that kind of basic info. Have you looked in it if she still has it?
