A hot engine or hot exhaust pipes can be hazardous. The engine and exhaust pipes are hot for
some time after the engine is stopped. Touching the engine or exhaust pipes while hot can cause
serious burns. Allowing flammable materials to contact a hot engine or exhaust pipes may cause a
fire. Park the motorcycle where people will not touch the engine or exhaust pipes and where it is
not near flammable materials.

WARNING

temperature. Stop the engine.

2. Securely support the motorcycle on the sidestand.
3. Place an oil drain pan under the drain plug (1) and oil filter (2).
4. Remove the drain plug and seal using the universal tool

provided under the left side cover (see page 122) or a good

quality 6mm Allen socket, allowing the oil to drain into the

pan.

5. Use an oil filter wrench to loosen the filter slowly. Allow oil in

the filter to drain before removing the filter.

6. Use a new seal and reinstall the drain plug.
