Resurrecting an old thread . . . I will soon be riding my ST home from the
dealer. Was in for collision repairs and the infamous fuel guage fix. When
I get home, while the oil is nice and hot, I want to change the oil. What
size Torx tool should I use? (Eric, this might be useful info to add to the
FAQs Maintenance / Oil & Filter area.)
