Oil Change!!

What you need:
  1. Set of allen sockets. This is in place of wrenches; because you will need to torque them.
  2. 4 liters of your preferred oil.
  3. Oil filter.


How to:
  1. Warm up the oil by taking the bike on a short ride around the block.
  2. Discharge the oil from the oil sump through cap (3).
  3. Clean the wirenet filter (4) to eliminate eventual residuals and fit the cap again locking it fully.
  4. Loosen the filter cartridge (5) using a filter wrench.
  5. Fit the new cartridge, taking care to lubricate the gasket, screwing it in its seat and lock it by hand.
  6. Unscrew cap (1) and fill with the prescribed oil type. (I use a synthetic, but if your bike is still in the break in stage you don't want to use synthetic)
  7. Fill up to the level established on the indicator (2).
  8. Screw cap (1) again.
IMPORTANT: Do this with a hot engine and never exceed the maximum oil level.
