MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE »
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, 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 necessary,
replace them.
Put the motorcycle on its side and fill the oil filter housings about halfway
with engine oil. Fill oil filter with oil, place the long oil filter in the front and
the short filter in the back of the filter box.
Grease the O-rings [4] of the oil filter covers and mount the covers. Mount
the screws and tighten them to 6 Nm.
Position the brake fluid container and tighten the screw to 8 Nm.
Return the motorcycle to an upright position.
Remove the oil dipstick [5] at the clutch cover and fill in 1.2 liters (250
SX-F: 1.1 liters) of fully synthetic engine oil (Motorex Power Synt 4T 10W/50).
Start the engine and check all screwed connections and the oil filter cover
for leaks.
Finally, check the engine oil level and, if necessary, correct it.
