Cold oil just flows a bit slower, but you're not in a rush so just give it an extra 5 minutes to drain. Nah man, just so its warm and flows easier. Was advised this was better especially in the cold. I do the change outside and the oil can get pretty cold otherwise and suggestion was the oil will drain better. Suppose it doesn't matter cold or hot as long as its all out. You'll never get it all out, it's not massively important to get every last drop out For my logic including the snowdrift inside the garage yesterday It does definitely drain better, but you won't get any more of it out than by just using patience.

I think its ml to full mark. TBH on the change I fill it up to full crank it and re-check it a couple of times to make sure. Oil and filter seemed to be closer to 3l on the last one and its just over the F mark. Find used value:. DAT GmbH.

How I wish it was as simple as your illustrated process. And somehow, I always manage to get oil on something. Last time, I spilled about two drops — from the fresh bottle — onto the floor. The area was about the size of a postage stamp. That was the exact spot I found with the tip of my cane 10 minutes later. I nearly careened into the wall.

Brady: Thanks! I've learned the hard way on my machines too. I'm still getting to grips with my RGS. The SV is still my favorite. Just more fun. Dear Jack: Sight glass is great. I wish the Ural had one. It just has the silly dipstick. I would imagine you have a bit of tupperware to remove to change your K75's oil. I know I shouldn't have laughed at your comment, but I had this cartoon flash through my head of someone slipping on some oil and crashing through the wall with the feet kicking in the air.

I hope you didn't hurt yourself or your bike with your oil induced adventure. Suzuki recommends changing the oil in the SV every 4, miles with an oil filter change at 11, miles. I change my oil filter every time I change the oil. The process requires only one wrench and should take less than 10 minutes. Tools I used: socket wrench 14mm socket oil catch pan 2. Then put the bike on a rear stand. I prefer the rear stand over the side stand as it helps the oil drain out.

You could also hold the bike while it is draining. Loosen it with a 14mm socket or wrench. I usually brake it loose with the wrench and finish by hand. Go slow towards the end as the oil will come out quickly and it will be hot. This can almost always be done by hand.

Once it is loose, the oil will start to leak out. It will be hot, so be careful. Be careful of the exhaust header which will also be hot.

This is why I like gloves.
