| my first oil change on my kawak ZX636 2006. made the vid as short as possible. you'll need: bucket- collect old oil filter - new clean filter funnel - help pour new oil into the engine semi synthetic oil 10W-40 filter remover - i used an old fashioned fabric strap attached to a bolt, i cover the fabric strap on to the filter and turn the bolt with a wrench to loosen it. ( i suggest your use a new style filter remover, it is much easier. cloth Allen key - to remove fairing panels 17mm socket wrench - to remove oil drain plug new oil drain plug WASHER - throw old one away torch - to see in dark areas block of wood - to place under the kickstand, this balances the bike up and helps the oil drain out easily. heat engine oil 100 degrees approx remove lower fairing locate filter and drain plus prop bike on some wood to help the oil drain unscrew oil drain plug keeping a bucket underneath, oil may be hot. once bolt/plug is taken off, replace old washer with a new one. pour some new oil in the engine, use funnel if you want. once you begin to see new oil pour out into the bucket, this means the the old oil is completely out remove filter, keep a bucket under the filter as it will leak clean up the connection where the filter attaches rub some new oil around the rubber gasket on filter and in the center attach the filter, pretty tight, but not tooooo much. wipe the old drain plug/bolt and attach it back along with the new washer add oil, keep the oil level between the two markings ... |
