Oil Change.

[newman]

I just want to thank Blanca for his fairing tutorial. Done a oil and oil filter change for the first time on my Busa. Of course Lynne helped me. Put in full synthetic oil. Took a bit of time, mostly getting the fairing back on. But all good.

You do know that you can swap out the filter with the fairing loose . . .

I've always done my Gen II by opening the belly. I've never removed a fairing for oil change

 

[dadofthree]

But I'm glad he got her done and there were no super glue episodes

 

[ky busa]

job well done!

I always check engine mounts when I have fairing off after I found one slightly loose which was causing a knocking,30 seconds with a torque wrench done.(looked tight but wasent)any way well done

The Gen 1 is really a snap especially when using a K&N filter.

I just did my oil change yesterday on my 03' but the header is right in front of the filter... and I had to remove the bolt on the bottom of the oil cooler and bend the braket out of the way to get it out (suzuki filter) the K&n should be easyer to loosen with the 17mm bolt. But would still have to remove the bolt to the oIL cooler bottom braket and bend it again to get it out..

You must have aftermarket headers then.

 

[Leedutcher]

Yes I do. Msp exhaust on which I can not find any info on...lol

It can be done by the bottom? without removing side fairings?

Yes, I used to do it that way on my 09 it had muzzy headers/exhaust, @08BusaKY did so as well I think his were stock headers, so yes it can be done

Take the fairings off, if for no other reason than the practice. You only need the starboard side to get to the filter, but it does give you a chance to look around - for cobwebs, in my case.

On the 2018 I noted they changed the oil line, now I have to drop the brake side fairing and oil line to remove oil filter

 

[Berlin Germany]

right fairing off for filter change? yes allways - i guess

but line? you mean the hose / pipe from motor to oil cooler ? or what?

I'm really groping in the dark .

a foto would help so much
