Getting the oil warm and circulating will mix more dirt into the oil, so more dirt gets drained out. Shut the bike off, and look at the bottom of the motor. There should be either a 5/8%26quot; or 3/4%26quot; drain bolt on the bottom. Drain it out from there. You may need to take the lower fairings off, but i am unsure. Simply take the old oil filter off, and put on the new one. Put the drain bolt back in, and fill with appropriate oil and to correct level.
