Just got a 2003 KTM 525 EXC and broke it in last weekend = FUN = oil change needed.
The oil change procedure was quite complex compared to my CRF450R. Besides the fact that I had to use a 1.2 foot breaker bar to get the long oil screen plug out (do they hire gorillas at the KTM factory?) the manual claims that you should lay the bike on it's side and fill the oil filter chambers with oil up to 50%.
Do you guys actually do that? Anything else I need to know regarding this?
