Engine Oil & Filter
Changing Engine Oil & Filter
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 122.
Your motorcycle’s oil filter has very specific performance requirements. Use a
new Honda Genuine oil filter or a filter of equal quality specified for your
model.
Using the wrong oil filter may result in leaks or engine damage.
This procedure requires mechanical skill and professional tools such as a torque
wrench and oil filter wrench, as well as a means for disposing of the drained
fluid (page 189). If you do not have the skills or the tools, see your dealer.
Drain the Engine Oil:
(Models equipped with center stand)
1. Park your motorcycle on its center stand on a firm, level surface.
(Models not equipped with center stand)
1. Park your motorcycle on its side stand on a firm, level surface.
2. If the engine is cold, start it and let it idle for 3 – 5 minutes. Turn the engine
off. Wait 2 – 3 minutes for the oil to settle.
3. Remove the front lower cover (page 138).
4. Place a drain pan under the engine oil drain bolt.
5. To drain the oil, remove the oil fill cap/dipstick, engine oil drain bolt, and
sealing washer.
