Buy the service manual for your bike, it'll tell you everything you need to know.

I can help you out if you want. Just give me warning in advance when you want to do it, and like Rob said - buy a service manual.

Not to take anything away from Rob as I am sure he will do a great job, but changing your oil is routine maintenance that every bike owner should learn how to do. Get a shop manual for the bike like everyone has said and give it a go.. it is pretty simple.

Seans also looking for a shop manual for his bike as well.. Dont think his bike came with even an owners manual as it was second hand

Remember to put the oil drain plug back in before adding the fresh oil.
