 Warm the bike up thoroughly and then let it cool down for about 3 minutes. |
 Put the bike up on a stand and make sure that the bike is level. The oil drain is on the shift side. |
 Cover is removed over air filter. Small phillips screwdriver takes five screws out. |
 Make sure you choose the correct oil. Look for this symbol. |
 Here's the oil dipstick to check the oil level. |
 Don't even screw around witht the wrong tool. Use a 24 mm socket with an extension. |
 With an extension, you don't have to remove the shifter and can get inside to the drain nut. |
 Remove the oil drain cap and let the oil drain out into a pan. |
 Next, remove the filter spring. |
 Remove the screen filter. We found lots of crud on the screen after only a few hours of break in riding. |
 Let the oil drain for at least 15 minutes. |
 Here's the removed oil drain. |
 Clean the screen completely. We used contact cleaner spray. |
 Button everything back up, taking care to properly seat the screen filter. |
 Fill the bike up with oil. About 1.1 US quarts should do it. |
 Start the bike and let it run for a few mnutes. While it's running, check for leaks. You're done. |
