CHANGING ENGINE OIL AND FILTER (ALL 250Fi) (A)
The oil must be changed with the engine off but still warm in order to
allow the exhaust oil to drain easily.
Park the motorcycle on a flat surface and put a suitable basin under the
engine. Unscrew cap (1) located on the right side of the engine (clutch
cover) and drain caps (2 and 3) located on the lower part of the engine
and let the oil drain into the basin.
In the meantime remove the filter cover (4) located on the right of the
engine, being sure to catch the oil that may overflow. Remove the car-
tridge filter (5) and clean the surfaces of the casing and of the filter cover.
Check the seal O-rings (6 and 7) and replace them if necessary. Put in a
new original TM Racing filter. Be sure to have the open side facing the
outside of the engine. The filter must be all the way in its seat.
Reassemble the O-rings and the filter cover, tightening the screws by
8 Nm.
Wait for the oil to fully drain from the drain holes. Clean the seal sur-
faces, check the gaskets, clean the drain cap magnets (8) from possible
debris, and tighten the caps by 20 Nm.
Prepare a measuring cup with the required amount of engine oil, which
must be of the type indicated in the table, and pour it from the filler hole.
Check the seal gasket (replace if necessary) and tighten the cap by 20
Nm.
Repeat the oil level check.
Check the seal of the filler cap, drain caps and filter cover.
