Installation Steps:

1. Preparation:

   • Ensure the motorcycle is on a stable, level surface.
   • Use the oil catch pan to collect any old oil that may spill during the installation.

2. Drain the Oil (if necessary):

   • Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes to warm up the oil.
   • Turn off the engine and wait for a few minutes to allow the oil to settle.
   • Use the socket set to remove the oil drain plug and allow the old oil to drain completely into the pan.

3. Locate the Oil Filter:

   • Identify the location of the oil filter on your motorcycle.

4. Remove the Old Oil Filter:

   • Use the oil filter wrench to loosen and remove the old oil filter.
   • Be cautious, as some oil may still be in the filter.

5. Prepare the New Oil Filter:

   • Before installation, apply a small amount of new engine oil to the rubber gasket on the top of the new oil filter. This helps create a better seal.

6. Install the New Oil Filter:

   • Screw the new oil filter into place by hand. Make sure it’s snug but do not overtighten. Use the oil filter wrench if necessary.

7. Refill Engine Oil:

   • Replace the drain plug if you drained the oil.
   • Use a funnel to pour new engine oil into the engine through the oil fill cap. Refer to your owner’s manual for the correct oil type and amount.

8. Check for Leaks:

   • Start the motorcycle and let it run for a few minutes. Check around the new oil filter and the drain plug for any signs of leaking.

9. Dispose of Old Oil and Filter:

   • Properly dispose of the old oil and oil filter at an appropriate facility.

Tips:

• Regularly check oil levels and change the oil filter as recommended in your motorcycle’s maintenance schedule.
• Always use high-quality oil filters to ensure the best protection for your engine.
