Oil/Filter help?

Eagle981 · January 13th, 2013, 05:36 PM

Hey time for me to change the oil on my bike for my first time. Problem is I don't know what I need in regard to oil and filter. What exactly does my bike need? Will most motorcycle places have these parts or do I have to go to a dealer? And will a dealer even have these for a pregen?

Thanks

The parts you need should be pretty easily found at auto/bike places.

You will need a torque wrench as well (don't do it without one).
Observe the specified torque for each bolts, specially for the drain plug.
