Run the quad for about 5 minutes to let the oil heat up. Shut'er off, drain'er out from the oil tank and the bolt on the left side (as you're sitting down). Change the oil filter...I recommend a K&N...make sure it is facing the right way. Bolts back in and give'er about 2 quarts of what ya got. I run Amsoil 0w/40....yes it is the schiz:cool:

Put the stick back in and fire'er up, let'er run for a bit. Shut'er off and check the stick.....go from there.

That is pretty much it. Bill is in the mail!:p :)

The bolt is close to the frame and it is a 10mm. the oil takes forever to drain so u may want to do something else while its draining.

I put 3 courts of oil in my tank until it was full. i put 2 in it and let it run for awile and shut it off and checked the oil and it had none of the stick. I have an oversized tank so did i do it right. they said it may hold 1 more quart over stock. let me know thanks

I belive most aftermarket taks are +1 quart.

Propping up the right side of the quad speeds up the draining process. Warming up the motor helps too:)

[hondarider2006]

and when Joe says warming it up helps...he means letting it get warm, not hot. That oil will burn your hands real bad if your not carful:o

[HondaRacing23]

so if a stock tank holds 2 quarts mine should hold 1 more which is 3 right? thanks for helping me guys
