How do I Perform A typical Oil Change work?
Step 1: Research and Parts Acquisition
Acquire appropriate documents and specifications, select and order compatible and optimal oil, oil filter, and other parts.
This often involves reading the service manual back and forth.
Step 2: Fairing Removal
If the bike is full or half-faired, it often is required for me to remove some bodywork to access the oil drain and/or oil filter.
Step 3: Oil/Oil Filter change
Arguably the most messy part of the job. Draining oil and removing oil filter filter, replacing with new oil and oil filter.
The drain bolt will be sealed with a new or like-new crush washer (will only use like-new if requested) and factory-specified torque specs.
The oil filter will be installed with factory-specified torque specs as well.
Step 4: Reassembly
Install any fairing that was removed to gain access to perform the work.
Step 5: Final Check
Oil level will be checked following the factory-specified procedure.
How to book/Things to know
Provide the YEAR/MAKE/MODEL of your motorcycle.
Specify OIL CHANGE ONLY or OIL AND OIL FILTER CHANGE.
Confirm that you have swingarm spools installed on your motorcycle.
Some motorcycles may not be serviced if you do not have swingarm spools to use a rear stand.
I will be able to acquire and/or install swingarm spools, please let me know if the service is needed.
If you have preferred oil/oil filter/crush washer and/or if you are providing them, please let me know.
If you do not have a preference, it will be easier for me to source the items.
