Added an altrider radiator guard and took out some off the sag.
I changed my oil, not very exciting but here are some pictures!
Can someone tell me what MGS & D stand for?
I need to get one of these soonInstalled the fender extender on my bike!

MGS is used a lot in the designation of Honda part numbers.
D probably means this is a dipstick for DCT, since DCT takes more oil than MT.
Did you replace the DCT filter O-ring too - PN: 91302-PA9-003 ?
I'm collecting the stuff for my first oil change...
My first time changing oil in my 2014 DCT (went to the dealer prior). Things were going great until I tried to place the DCT oil filter cover back on. It cracked when I screwed it back on (was not even tight).

In ended up super gluing the parts together, then assembled everything back and filled it up with oil. Any one face a similar issue? or advice on if I should ride around (so far no oily puddles, but it's only been an hour or so).
They need to have a simpler, all metal solid, design.
Good idea I use a 1/4 ratchet, I try using it only for everything I can, I'm always worried about something breaking out stopping outThanks for info on MGS D.
I bought the o-ring but the old one looked so good I couldn't bring myself to change it (it's hard being a cheap basterd) same for the crush washer on the drain plug! One thing to consider, the DCT oil filter cover has two 8 mm bolts. There is no mention in the owners manual about recommended torque, I was working with a 3/8" drive ratchet but switched to a little 1/4" ratchet to tighten up these 8 mm bolts, do not over tighten.
Bam-ba-Lam! Good times!First oil change today, a little late at 1,240 miles. Oil filter was a little tight, and I didn't have a small enough oil filter wrench or a large enough channel-lock wrench...so I just punched a screw driver through the filter. The new K&N filter has the 17mm bolt head on it...much easier to install. I can't believe I don't have to do it again for 8,000 miles...but at the rate I'm putting on miles that will be in the late fall. I put 1239.5 miles on it in 6 weeks , and I have some long trips planned this summer & fall.
Oh, and I've decided to name her Black Betty.

I"'ve broken or stripped more fasteners with a torque wrench than without.
I'll second that. On those little 8mm bolts I use 1/4 drive and go snug plus a little.
