you dont have a manuel????

i'll quickly tell ya what to do.

1.let bike warm up for 10 minutes. then shut it off.
2. remove drain bolts from the bottom of the oil tank and engine.
3. drain all oil out ( i like to lift the bike up from the back and front, seems to p*ss out a lot more oil)
4. remove cover for oil filter (right side of the bike, lil 3 bolt cover) remove old filter, insert new one (MAKE SURE YOU LOOK AT HOW THE OLD ONE WAS IN THERE, so you dont put it in backwards and blow your engine and pour some oil on the filter before putting it in)
5. put both drain bolts back in
6. Put in 2.2 litres of oil in the oil tank. let the bike sit for a good 5 minutes then start it.
7. shut it off and check dip stick, make sure you got enough in it.


use 10w40 ATV oil. I use AMSOIL 10w40 synthetic.

I sent you a private message, but DVXDUDE seems to have you covered on how to do it. I imagine you were successful?
