  • So i get the bike washed and prepped for the supreme maintenance procedure of them all - THE OIL CHANGE . This is crucial if you belong to the RIDE HARD category that you change the oil&oil filters on time . i personally change @3000kms mark , period. my HIMALAYAN has done 25,000 kms on the MOTUL 5100 and i very strongly recommend it .
    key points to consider -
    #PARK motorcycle on a LEVEL SURFACE
    #change oil after about 1-3 minutes of idling on a cold start.
    #change oil after about 2-3 hours of rest after a long ride .
    #remove oil from the drain plug first and then from the inspection screen area to avoid spillage
    #inspect wire screen/mesh for metal debris . too much metal or gunk in there will indicate something wrong inside the transmission.
    #try to rejuvenate the rubber O-Rings by pressing on then repeatedly for a better seal .
    #tilt the bike towards you to extract as much old oil as possible
    #remove the oil filter cap partially and let the oil pour out first . then remove the three bolts from bottom up.
    #pour about 50 milli litres of new oil into the new oil filter before installing
    #tighten bolts again in bottom up order.
    #hand tighten all the bolts and then a 1/4 of a turn with the specific tool ought to do in most cases.
    #pour in 1.5 litres into the transmission and let the engine idle for 1-2 minutes .
    #check the oil level on inspection window and add accordingly .
    #BEST TO FILL UP TO HIGHER LEVEL on the inspection window.
    #1.6 - 1.8 ltrs is the range that you can fill up depending on how much old oil you have managed to extract.
    #collect old oil and give it to your local mech for recycling.
