That would be awsomeeee i did it once on a f3 but that was it -.-. I have no tools either but im willing to buy as long as i know what i need

 

if you did it on an f3, then its the same thing pretty much on a 954. the oil plug is in relatively the same spot. the filter is in the same spot, and its an external filter. you put the oil in in relatively the same spot.


what do you need pics for? just go grab a wrench. the oil plug is a 12mm as opposed to a 17mm on the f3

 

i need pics cause i don't really remember everything i did lol. I feel like a noobie again i havnt touched a bike in 2 years.

 

I pull the plastics on one side. Does anybody else? Plus I have the Full Akro exhaust. The headers are very tight to the oil filter....

 

is it possible to avoid that? i wouldn't want to crack anything by accident

 

Oil Change is easy. Place bike on rear stand if you have one. Also download the service manual from this site. It has pictures.

1. Remove right side fairing
2. Remove drain plug(12mm) and drain oil
3. Get a plastic 2-liter bottle and cut off the end and half of one side. Wedge it in from the right side under oil filter.
4. Loosen and remove oil filter. Keep oil filter pointing up and remove out the side of the header. Oil will drain down the 2-liter bottle into your drain pan and not onto the header.
5. Put a small amount of oil on the new oil filter rubber seal. Tighten oil filter. (I use K&N oil filters because they have a 17mm nut on the end for easy tightening and removal.)
6. Replace drain plug with new crush washer and tighten to 22ft lbs.
7. Add 3.7quarts of oil.
8. Start bike and check for any leaks.
9. Install right side fairing and you are done.

 

All Good! But.....for step #3. I do it different. You must not have kids yet (or any that you know of!) I substitute my 12 year old and rag. I then tell him that if one drop of oil hits the bike in any shape or form. I will use his Education fund for Booze and Hookers and I will tell all his Junior High buddies that he wears Pink thong underwear.......

 

wow backdoc. Thank you! What tools will i need to do all those steps however?

 

Looks like a challenge i can take on.....Ill do a quick write up with pics when i put the motor back in my bike. These guys above are right on track. If you follow them you will be good.

 

a challenge that would be greatly appreciated... i still have like a good 2 weeks before i take her out. i live in IL and its still cold =/
