kawasaki ZX636 05-06 motorcycle OIL CHANGE

my first oil change on my kawak ZX636 2006. made the vid as short as possible.

you'll need:
bucket- collect old oil
filter - new clean filter
funnel - help pour new oil into the engine
semi synthetic oil 10W-40
filter remover - i used an old fashioned fabric strap attached to a bolt, i cover the fabric strap on to the filter and turn the bolt with a wrench to loosen it. ( i suggest your use a new style filter remover, it is much easier.
cloth
Allen key - to remove fairing panels
17mm socket wrench - to remove oil drain plug
new oil drain plug WASHER - throw old one away
torch - to see in dark areas
block of wood - to place under the kickstand, this balances the bike up and helps the oil drain out easily.

heat engine oil 100 degrees approx

remove lower fairing

locate filter and drain plus

prop bike on some wood to help the oil drain

unscrew oil drain plug keeping a bucket underneath, oil may be hot.

once bolt/plug is taken off, replace old washer with a new one.

pour some new oil in the engine, use funnel if you want.
once you begin to see new oil pour out into the bucket, this means the the old oil is completely out

remove filter, keep a bucket under the filter as it will leak

clean up the connection where the filter attaches

rub some new oil around the rubber gasket on filter and in the center

attach the filter, pretty tight, but not tooooo much.

wipe the old drain plug/bolt and attach it back along with the new washer

add oil, keep the oil level between the two markings

start engine and check oil level again and it should rise a little

dispose of old oil

enjoy :)

@Paiadakine thats too cool. go for it, save yourself a pocket full of money doing it yourself...you can spend that money taking the bike somewhere nice :)

how do you change the exhaust for an undertail exhaust like on a CBR600RR or a 2007 ZX6R????

[yasmo10]

@aissa196 I have to be honest and say I'm not sure. All depends on the exhaust (full/silencer) and if its a road or race exhaust. with some its as simple as removing the end can from its bolts and attaching a new one but with some you my be required to adjust and tune the bikes to accept the exhaust via a powercommander etc.

Nice vid. But. When u put oil in and checked it and started ur motor. Did u let it run for a minute then shut off then let stand for a few min then check again? Other than that you did everything correct

@ZX6r001 hey, sorry for the late reply. I put in a whole 5ltre bottle with the filter. It was bang on right

How much oil does the 05-06 ZX6-R take with a new filter?
