Extremely bad clutch slip.

[Veloce-Fino]

Went to do the oil change today after a nice hour ride in 38F weather. Turns out I don't have a 14mm hex to pull the oil screen plug.

None of the 5 stores within 45 minutes stocks anything over a 10mm.

Had to order a large hex set online.. maybe next weekend I can actually get this done.

Doh! You also need a 21mm socket to remove the cap the oil temp lead attaches to to access the oil screen. Remember there is a crush washer there too.

You don't absolutely have to pull the screen, but I think it's wise to do so every other change so you can see what's going on with wear & stuff. You'll see some little bronze wear particles from the valve guides and maybe an aluminum shaving or two. Totally normal so don't flip out. At some point the particulates getting stuck to the screen will taper off to none as your engine fully breaks in.

This will be the 2nd oil change after the 600 mile one. I'm currently at ~4800 miles. I'll be expecting some wear particles just hopefully not a shitload.

Are you sure a 21mm is required? I believe it is 10mm for oil plug, 14mm for outer screen plug and 14mm for the actual oil screen. The set I bought only goes up to 18 so I'm definitely going to murder someone if it is a 21mm on the 696.

*14mm for both thankfully.
