Is the 06 Nomad easy to change the oil.

Don't know yet. I need to get to the 600 miles break-in limit to change. Looks easy, Drain plug easily identified, Bike seems higher off ground than the 750 shadow. The oil res. cap is easy to find.

Changed mine for the fourth time today. 8000 miles on clock. I don't have a jack, so i just run it up on 2x6's and put another under the stand. This gives me a little more working room underneath. Once this is done, it's a walk in the park. I use my hand to tighten and remove the oil filter. Just snug it up real good with a little oil on the filter gasket. No Problem. My oil drip pan is a little tall for the bike frame, hence the 2x6's. Just remember to check the Oil screen every other change. Go to
Gadgets Fixit Page for details on the screen.

If it was any easier it would do it for you!
If you can place a drain pan under the bike, spin a wrench in (two directions) and pour oil down a funnel~
you should be good.
