Warning! Prolonged or repeated contact with engine oil can lead to skin dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful contamination which can cause cancer. Wear suitable clothing and avoid skin contact. The engine oil and filter must be replaced in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements.
Warning! If the engine has recently been running, the engine oil will be hot to the touch. Contact with the hot oils may cause damage to exposed skin. To avoid skin damage, do not touch hot oil.
1. Warm up the engine thoroughly, and then stop the engine and secure the motorcycle in an upright position on level ground.
2. Place an oil pan beneath the engine.
3. Remove the oil drain plug.
1. Oil drain plug; 2. Oil filter
4. Unscrew and remove the oil filter using service tool T3880313 - Oil Filter Wrench. Dispose of the old oil filter in an environmentally friendly way.
5. Apply a smear of clean engine oil to the sealing ring of the new oil filter.
6. Fit the oil filter and tighten to 10 Nm using T3880313 - Oil Filter Wrench.
7. After the oil has completely drained out, fit a new sealing washer to the drain plug. Fit and tighten the plug to 25 Nm.
8. Fill the engine with a 10W/40 or 10W/50 semi or fully synthetic motorcycle engine oil that meets specification API SH (or higher) and JASO MA, such as Castrol Power 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic).
9. Start the engine and allow it to idle for a minimum of 30 seconds.
Caution! Raising the engine speed above idle before the oil reaches all parts of the engine can cause engine damage or seizure. Only raise engine speed after running the engine for 30 seconds to allow the oil to circulate fully.
Caution! If the engine oil pressure is too low, the low oil pressure warning light will illuminate. If this light stays on when the engine is running, stop the engine immediately and investigate the cause. Running the engine with low oil pressure will cause engine damage.
10. Ensure that the low oil pressure warning light remains off and the oil pressure message is not visible in the instrument display screen.
