Default How to change your oil without burning yourself

Yep, feel pretty stupid. I let the engine run a few minutes to have a better oil flow of the old oil. Then I started to set my up but I needed a tool that was on the other side of the bike. I reached over and my arm touched the headers ... Not long but still long enough for a minor burn. Other than that, the oil and filter change went pretty smoothly.
