How do you change the oil in a 2003 Suzuki GSXR 600?

Answer 1

The oil should be changed when the engine is warm so that the oil will drain thoroughly from the engine. The procedure is as follows: 1. Place the motorbike on the side stand. 2. Remove the ten screws and three fasteners holding the fairing in place. 3. Remove the right side fairing. 5. Place a drain pan under the drain plug. 6. Remove the oil filler cap. 7. Remove the drain plug with a wrench and drain out the engine oil. 8. When engine is empty, reinstall the drain plug and gasket. Tighten the plug securely with a wrench. 9. Turn the oil filter counterclock-wise and remove it with a "cap type" oil filter wrench or a "strap type" filter wrench of proper size. 10. Wipe off the mounting surface on the engine where the new filter will be seated with a clean rag. 11. Smear a little oil around the rubber gasket of the new oil fliter. 12. Screw the new filter by hand until the filter gasket contacts the mounting surface (a small resistance will be felt). 13. Mark the top dead center of the oil filter. Use an oil filter wrench to tighten the filter 2 turns. 14. Pour 3100ml (3.3/2.7 US/Imp. qt) of new engine oil through the filler hole and install the filler cap. 15. With the engine running, look carefully for leaks around the oil filter and drain plug. Run the engine at various speeds for 2 to 3 minutes. 16. Stop the engine and wait for a few minutes. Check the oil level again. Engine oil level can be inspected through the inspection window while holding the motorbike vertically. If the oil level is lower than the "F" line, add new oil until it reaches the "F" line. Check for leaks again. CAPACITIES: Without filter change..............2800 ml (3.3/2.7 US/Imp. qt) With filter change....................3100ml (3.3/2.7 US/Imp. qt) NOTE: If you do not have the proper oil filter wrench, have your Suzuki dealer perform this service.
