CHANGING THE OIL FILTERS
Remove the screw
1 and swing the brake fluid container sideward. Place a
receptacle underneath the engine to collect the drained oil. Remove the 4
screws
2 and dismount the two oil filter covers.
Using circlip pliers, you may now pull the oil-filter inserts 3 out of the
housing.
Clean the oil filter cover, the sealing surfaces of the O-rings and the engine
casing. Check the O-rings of the oil filter covers for damage and, if neces-
sary, replace them.
Put the motorcycle on its side and fill the oil filter housings about halfway
with engine oil. Insert the long oil filter at the front and the short oil filter at
the back of the housing.
Grease the O-rings
4 of the oil filter covers and mount the covers. Mount
the screws and tighten them to 8 Nm (6 ft.lb).
Position the brake fluid container and tighten the screw to 8 Nm (6 ft.lb).
Return the motorcycle to its upright position.
Remove the oil dipstick
6 at the clutch cover and fill in 1.2 liters of fully
synthetic engine oil (Shell Advance Ultra 4).
Start the engine and check all screwed connection and oil filter cover for
leaks.
Finally, check the engine oil level and, if necessary, correct it.
