Motorcycle maintenance

So I've put off doing an oil change on my motorscooter for a while, but now I've gotten off my ass and started to prepare. I've ordered a stainless steel oil filter, oil and some various o-rings and washers to get the job done. While I'm at it, I'll also install the Race Tech cartridge emulators that I got last year. I bought a motorcycle lift at Harbor Freight for $60 bucks. Should make this weekend and future wrenching on the bike easier. Since I cant work on my motorcycle in my assigned carport at my apartment complex, nor my truck for that matter, I'll be using my friends garage.
