I just did my first oilchange today and all went well EXCEPT that the mesh filter on the lower LEFT side of the machine did ONLY go in the opposite way of what's shown in the owners manual. I have now checked twice!
Anyone else had this problem? Is it I that have my thumb in the middle of my hand or is the drawing in the manual incorrect? See attached picture.
Also, how bad should I feel about not having changed the oil until now ...with 500+ miles on it? (seems everyone here's changed first time at 200+miles)
Gracias for any constructive input!

PS. ordered some stuff from Motostrano but those guys seems to have other things than customer service on their minds...
