Changing the oil requires a torque wrench. If you do
not have it and the necessary skill, we recommend
that you have your Honda dealer perform this service.
NOTICE
If a torque wrench is not used for this installation,
see your Honda dealer as soon as possible to verify
proper assembly.
Change the engine oil with the engine at normal
operating temperature and the motorcycle on its side
stand to assure complete and rapid draining.
1. To drain the oil, remove the oil filler cap/dipstick,
oil drain plug (1) and sealing washer (2).

2. After the engine oil has been drained out, hold
the motorcycle upright for 10 – 15 seconds to
assure complete draining.
3. Remove the oil filter cover bolts (3), oil filter cover
(4) and oil filter (5).
4. Check that the oil filter cover O-ring (6) is in
good condition and then install the new oil
filter. Use the Honda oil filter or an equivalent
filter specified for your model. Other filters not
specified for your model may not filter impurities
properly.
5. Install the oil filter with the rubber seal (7) facing
out, away from the engine. You will see OUT-SIDE
mark (8) on the filter body, near the seal.
