Prefill the replacement oil filter with new
engine oil.
Apply a smear of clean engine oil to the
sealing ring of the new oil filter. Fit the
oil filter and tighten to
7
lb-
ft (10
Nm)
.
After the oil has completely drained out,
fit a new sealing washer to the sump
plug. Fit and tighten the plug to
18
lb
ft
(25
Nm)
.
Warning
If the engine has recently been
running, the exhaust system will be
hot. Before working on or near the
exhaust system, allow sufficient time
for the exhaust system to cool as
touching any part of a hot exhaust
system could cause burn injuries.
Remove the oil filler plug.
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) engine oil, sold as Castrol
Power RS Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully
synthetic) in some countries.
Do not overfill or exceed the capacities
given in the Specifications section.
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.
Make sure that the low oil pressure
warning light extinguishes shortly after
starting.
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.
Turn the ignition OFF, check the oil level
using the method previously described,
and top off to between the minimum
and maximum level lines in the sight
glass.
Disposal of Used Engine Oil and Oil
Filters
To protect the environment, do not pour
oil on the ground, down sewers or
drains, or into groundwater sources. Do
not place used oil filters in with general
waste. If in doubt, contact your local
authority.
