Step-by-Step Guide: Changing the Oil

  1. Warm up the engine for 3-5 minutes. This thins the oil and helps suspend contaminants. Turn off the engine and place the bike securely on a stand.
  2. Remove the oil filler cap on the right side of the engine case to allow the oil to drain efficiently.
  3. Position your drain pan beneath the drain bolt under the engine. Using a 13mm wrench or socket, carefully loosen and remove the drain plug. Allow the oil to drain completelytilting the bike gently side-to-side helps evacuate all used oil.
  4. Inspect the crush washer and drain plug. Replace the washer if worn, and wipe the plug clean. Look for any significant metal on the plug magnet (minor fuzz is normal on a new bike after break-in, but chunks require further inspection).
  5. Reinstall the drain plug and torque to the specified valueBeta recommends around 15Nm (–). Do not overtighten, as this can damage the case.
  6. Insert a funnel into the filler opening. Pour in exactly 800cc of fresh 2-stroke gear oil. Allow it time to drain in slowly for an accurate level.
  7. Replace the filler cap and wipe away any drips. Double-check for leaks at the drain plug.
  8. Start the engine briefly. Shut it off, let the bike sit for a minute, then check for leaks again. Check the oil inspection window, if present, to verify the proper level.
