And you have drained the poil from both the frame, the engine, and the oilfilter?

That should add up to around 2,9ltr.

1. Open up oil filler
2. Open sump plug (bottom of engine)
3. Open front drain bolt (on frame downtube - careful, will spray out over front wheel, lots of oil in here)
4. Remove filter.

When drained, replace in reverse order and refill slowly from filler hole.

Should take almost 3 litres.

Yes you drain it from the frame in front of the headers, theres a bolt. And then one on the left side of the motor, just around the gearlever, its a big bolt, cant miss it.

And then ofcourse the oilfilter.
