Oil change!!!
 
I need to do an oil change on my K3 Naked Sv650 and don't know if there is anything special i need to do this or chan i just drain the oil, refill and replace the filter. :?:

Yep, that's about it. But not in that order, it goes:

Drain oil, replace filter, then refill.

Thanks, glad i don't need anything else, thought knowing my luck would involve alot more. :roll:

Usually best done with the engine still moderately warm, as the old oil will drain down more quickly.

Don't forget a new sump washer.

I know not everybody does, but the only person I know personally who didn't had a leak and had to start from scratch.... for the sake of 35p !!

jonboy 21-12-05 03:41 PM

I don't and still have the original washer at 30k miles and approx ten oil changes ;).

Take it from me, the anticlockwise to loosen reverses when it's upside down....

How i didn't strip the thread and ruin the sump is beyond me.

there's much more to a service than changing the oil

cleaning lubing adjusting, cables, linkage, lever pinch bolts, chain, check fasteners, etc.

jonboy 21-12-05 04:42 PM

Yes but that hardly takes a second ot two and should also be done on a regular basis. Methinks you've paid a fortune in the past due to your near evangelical praise of the Randy Mechanic (no jokes folks :lol: ). You could have done it yourself sooooo much cheaper.
