Oil change on a 2007 suzuki gsxr?

Answer 1

First you need a new filter and depending on the mileage on your bike either synthetic or regular oil, however if your trying to save some money and do not plan on doing anything crazy with your bike you can use regular oil, but make sure you change the oil more often. First you need some screw drivers. Slowly remove the fairing on the left side of the bike. This is probably the hardest part and can take some time and you need to be very patient because you can damage the fairings if you are too rough. There are many fastners, bolts and screws inside and outside. Slowly remove them one by one as I said before this can take a long time depending on your experience. Most fastners can come off by pushing on the tips which usually releases them, but require some power. When you remove the left fairing you will see a knob towards the bottom of the engine. (I highly recommend getting some pitbull stands to prevent your bike from falling and it will be much easier to see where everything is located.) Then get your bucket place it under the knob (Make sure your engine has been off for a while since the oil can be hot) Slowly turn the knob with your tool and open it up completely and take it off. The old oil will rush into the bucket, wait until it drains completely. Then if you look inside right behind the front wheel in front of the engine in the middle you will see the filter. The filter is just a big round metal and you twist it off with some tools you need to purchase. Sometimes you can just twist it off yourself depending on how loose it is. Make sure you place the bucket underneath it since there is oil in the filter. Remove the filter and the oil, place a new filter in there tighten it up. Go to your right side of the bike. You will see a black tank with a black knob on top, twist the knob open(you can do this by hand) make sure the engine is still off. Take your oil and pour it in. (usually need about 3 or more quarts.) about 3/4 of the bucket. close the knob. Look into the window right on the same side and make sure that oil mark is aligned with the right letters. usually F for full. If its above full you need to drain some out. After everything is done. Put your fairing on the left side back on. Turn on your engine and let it run for a while. And your ready to go. Theres also some videos on YouTube that teach you how to do it.
