WARNING

Be sure that no lubricants or fluids get on tires, wheels or brakes when changing fluid. Traction can be adversely affected, which could result in loss of control of the motorcycle and death or serious injury. (00047d)

NOTICE

Do not switch lubricant brands indiscriminately because some lubricants interact chemically when mixed. Use of inferior lubricants can damage the engine. (00184a)

Change engine oil at the first 1,600 km (1000 mi) for a new engine. After the initial service, change oil at regular intervals in normal service at warm or moderate temperatures. Refer to Maintenance Scheduling → Service Records.
Change oil at more frequent intervals in cold weather or severe operating conditions. See Maintenance and Lubrication → Low Temperature Lubrication.

Run motorcycle until engine is at normal operating temperature. Turn off engine.
Remove filler plug/dipstick.

NOTE

Replace drain plug O-ring.

See Figure 1. Remove the oil drain plug (2) and O-ring. Allow oil to drain completely.

NOTE

Use P&A Oil Catcher (Part No. 62700199) or equivalent to keep drain oil off crankcase when removing oil filter. Residual drain oil could falsely appear as a crankcase oil leak at a later time.
