any "tricks" oil change cbr900
 

Alright, yes I'm capable of changing oil, but, a guy that works with my g/f needs his oil changed on his bike CBR900. he was going to have the shop do it along with change a rear tire and adjust chain.
she asked me if I could help him out. I certainly can, but I have never changed oil on a CBR900 and didn't know if farings needed removed or anything weird.
I know their job doesn't pay a ton, so if I can help the guy out I certainly would.

There be manuals up on this web
walkthroughs and such as
I would guess cbr900 is pretty straight foward. Remove 4-7 (guesstimate) bolts, remove panel, filter and drain plug should be obvious.

Don't force removal of any plastic bit and don't overtorque the fairing bolts when you put things back together (lil loctite will )

I got mad skillz
I came
I diagnosed
I talked funny

Come on past CBR900rr owners, come on up and tell him its one panel and shits and giggles from there.

Didn't AMJ post up the service manuals?

Doesn't Derf have a CBR900?

Guess AMJ's manuals link is kaputz.
Wildchild if you don't get an answer by EOD I'll see bout getting you the info. I'm pretty sure I have the shop manual for the 900 on ze ole harddrive at home.

You, sir, are an outstanding member of the community.

Never had a CBR900, but I did stay at a holiday Inn Express last night.

fairing removal on older bikes is pretty straighforward and easy as long as they are not damaged.

As you can see, you will need to remove the lowers to access the drain and filter.

Also, wrap the header in tin foil to keep oil off the header(or let it burn off after the change).

The key trick. Remember to put oil back in the engine only after the drain plug has been replaced.

Wear gloves and don't let marko near your tires.

You motherfucker.
