[Changing oil] drained oil spills on frame and tire, do I have to un-mount/unscrew the engine off the frame to avoid that?

Use a pig funnel shaped in such a way as to pour the oil off into an appropriate container. You will likely need an assistant for this.

Put some heavy weight household oil on it. Nothing fancy like Teflon oil since the bike isn't going out in the rain. Put a big throw rug under the bike in case it throws some oil droplets when you use it.

Wont hurt anything I was driving for a year with it leaking water into the oil seems the oil is so hot it steams the water out of the oil. I wouldnt go out of my way to put extra coolant in the oil and why dont you drain the coolant first. Its at the top of the engine prb drained down lower. I saw no coolant in mine and like you say change the oil. I just traded my 2001 Impala 118K mi for a 2013 Altima I am tired of fixing stuff. Everything was about to go in that car. Tranny was next.

If desired you can but not nessessary. It will require more attention as it will clog faster but will give longer life to the filter with using oil. Ive done with and without.

I wouldn't recommend putting this if there's little or no room, assuming you've already checked the minimum and the maximum hashmark on your dipstick after your oil change. Too much oil in your engine could aggravate the leak(s) because of pressure when the engine is running. Leaks might start to come out at different seams like at the valve cover.I would recommend to add stop leak (Lucas) on your next oil change instead. Just read the ratio of stop leak and the oil in the Lucas container. After you've drain your old oil and put back the drain plug, put the right amount of Stop Leak first before adding the rest of your oil, checking the oil dipstick while doing this so you won't go over max.

I put oil on one side and heated it until absorbed some of the oil and I shut it off and let it cool. I wiped away all excess oil and let it rest. I repeated this process for the other side.

There is a little hole in the base next to the spout that must allow excess oil to go back into the bottle. I haven't had any problems with oil dripping down the side of the bottle.

It replaces the oil plug. The purpose of this is to allow you to change the oil without any tools. Once installed the oil can be drained by simply by unsnapping the yellow cap, attaching the clear drain tube and turning the valve approximately a 1/4 turn counterclockwise.

I would recommend adding it when you change the oil easier that way but yes if you add you would need to drain some out

I have not had trouble oiling the chain. I just put oil in the reservoir and on occasions squirt some directly on the chain. This is a great piece of equipment.

I do all of my oil changes w warm oil... Once I'm done I remove the hose, pour out the oil and fill the tank with hot water and Dawn... I also soak the hose in the same solution. After soaking overnight, I take the oil and oily water to my mechanic for disposal.

This is a separate gear box that is factory packed with grease, It does not have any oil in it, it is not connected to the front diff. gear box on the other side.Just remove old box and install new.

I just use Husqvarna Bar oil and that seemed to work fine. I would recommend draining the extra oil before storing it.

I don't have that problem - just make sure oil reservoir is capped and stored upright

I don't understand the question "to be clean?" You don't need to remove the oil container in order to clean it. I use a sink spray hose and drain through the drain valve.

No, but you will so it continues to run properly. The directions are clear about this. It's not done often but it will need lubrication.....I don't think it requires HYDRAULIC oil. It will tell you in the directions.......Mike
