1. Warm up the bike 2. Remove skid plate. 3. Drain the oil into clear plastic container( to see better if brass steel or alu flakes comes out). 4. Cut oil filter, and check inside of the filter paper (again to catch up early, if something has started to wearout badly). 5. Close the drain plug,install new filter. 6. Fill in correct amount of oil.

Step 1. SAFETY GLASSES!

Step 2. Gloves! (what if you got distracted and ran your oily hand through your flowing mane?!)

Step 3. New crush gasket ERR time.
