Sad part is the person looked right at me before changing lanes. I think it was just a case of target fixation. While they saw around me, they didn't see the bike or me. I guess I have some super cloaking technology that even I'm not aware of.
Had I been in a car, this would have been an accident, luckily I was on the bike so I had room to maneuver and did so. Another case of look twice, save a life.

This video goes over the basic function you should expect to see from your solenoid if it is functioning correctly. This was filmed with a 2012 Ninja 650. Other years and makes/model are similar in most cases.

How to change your oil - an easy process!
This is a total remake of previous videos to just make it quick. Other videos I had were way too long. Oil change is similar on other ninja's with the potential for the drain bolt to be on the bottom.
Shout out to M13 who's getting better - took a horrible spill recently!

This is the basic concept for the rear shock or rear strut adjustment on a 2012 2013 and other year Ninja 650.

Trip to the car wash
Don't pressure wash your bike, at least anything more than the fairings - it's a bad idea.
That said, I do so often and use it as a preclean for doing my chain service.
