August 15, 200816 yr YOU DONT TAKE THE SUMP OFF LOL just unscrew the sump plug and let it all drain out and after its all come out then screw it back in same with the oil filter it will say on your engine casing how much oil you need to use. easy.

August 15, 200816 yr Author i take it thats a no to the 2stokr in the petrol tank then lol gotta start somewhere tho lol lol
August 15, 200816 yr unless the oil pump is broke i wouldnd mix it with the petrol aswell lol - the oil filter is towards the front of the engine id imagine on them. i dont think its imperitave that you remove this when changing the oil anyway - not unless ur putting a new filter on. just letting it all leak out of the sump should do the trick.
August 15, 200816 yr Author it just that the bike is new and only done 500 miles and i was told u need to change it for the 1st time, or is that wrong, the bike is registered 2008, its 3 years old and has sat in storage for being transferred to the states, but that fell thru. cheers, derry
August 15, 200816 yr regardless of how long its been in storeage and how many miles its done - if its been sitting for a long time and you dont really know the history of it then id change the oil to be safe - just dont buy the wrong stuff or it will blow up lol..

August 15, 200816 yr no worries - post up some pics of your progress. be good to see how you get on lol....
August 15, 200816 yr Moderator Unless i'm mistaken, its a two stroke engine and the oil you are changing is only used in the gearbox and clutch. There will be no oil filter fitted as these are only on four stroke engines. There will either be a dipstick at the filling point or a sight glass on the side of the engine case with high and low level markers on it. Because your bike has no centre stand you will need to hold it up straight when checking the oil level. If it is a dipstick, you generally dont screw it down to test the level. Havent you got the manual? It may show you in there!
August 15, 200816 yr haha, this thread makes for a good read... Welcome to biking Derryk, May I offer one piece of advice - Buy a Haynes manual for your bike - Having a read through one really helped me when I got my first bike, it'll tell you all the basics you need to know... The Tech Books are useful too...
August 15, 200816 yr fucking lol! 2 stroke.... im at work (pre-occupied) was thinking R6 engine Sorry Derryk lol DTR's dont have a dip stick - it will be a sight glass. Haynes manual will do you well... (good advise)
