pop a wheelie
until the bike is upside down
then open up the oil fill port
let it drain out
only let it rev to about 14.7 rpm
watch as the old oil drains out
pop a reverse wheelie to get the bike flat again
bring the revs up to 1 bar
quickly add the new 10w40
put the lid back on
and ride on bro ride on
PS
only atempt this at sea level
