Its not hard, it took me about 20min. There are 2 oil filters to change and 2 oil screens to clean. If ya got any questions on it give me a holla, I've done 2 oil changes on my 525 outlaw.

when you change the oil filters tip the bike on it's side and fill the filter houseings with oil as this will help oil pickup and prevent cavitation in the oil pump.
cheers

| Thanks for the tips guys. I have done oil changes before.. but they have usually been on much bigger motors.. ie leopard tank, and M113 APC's. I didnt have any probs. only thing that got me was that the manual called for 0W-50 oil... damned if i could find any of that, so i just put some 15W-50 through it. |

I use motul 5100 in my bike , you should of asked what type of oil we may of used? I wouldn't of sounded so simply as I know how hard it is to tip a 789 or 793 dump truck on it's side..... anyway nice bike
