Oil Change Question
I'm doing my oil change tomorrow. This will be the first one I've done the dealer did the other during the first service. My question is are there any tricks or is it fairly simple. The reason I ask is because my last bike (ZZR-1200) had 3 drain plugs that had to be removed to get all the oil out.

The C14 is about the easiest bike to change the oil on there is. The lowest plug (17mm) and the filter just unscrews and makes no mess. I have found that it best if you get an oil filter wrench that fits over the end.

Ted's right, easiest bike to change oil, just that one plug in l/f of pan, and spin off oil filter, could not get easier! I remember the hayabusa days, now that's a pain of an oil change!
