After you remove the foot guard on the right , buy a small fully that fits up inside and direct the mess out the bigger hole thru the running boards... works for me, just dont drop the plug in the funnel... then you have a mess all over again..LOL

I got my Kit last night but have been working on the gauges, flares & trying get the simmons on to no avail but have not looked for the filter. do we have to remove the intercooler to get at the filter? I want to do this today while I have it apart.

There is a drain plug on the bottom of the engine next to the filter. Do you still need to drain the tank?

Yes, you need to drain the tank on the right side, pull the plug on the bottom of the motor near filter, then the filter.

Do we still have to loosen the breather on the motor?

Just a note. I put an extra 300 mls of oil in mine than what called for. Drove sled and rolled it on bits side many times with out getting the p1338 code. I do have a fss rollover valve but have not installed it yet.
Has anyone found a screen like is in bottom of all the other Yamaha tanks? If so I would like to clean or check the screen at my first oil change.
Awesome! Just what I was looking for. Also notice the other line is not just a vent. Wonder why they have that going to the breather box? Wierd routing and venting. Was your screen dirty at all?
Thanks! That will save me some time for sure.

How many quarts did you guys get back in with the filter and drain the pan and the sump? I got about 3 1/4 quarts at operating temp.... Is that about right? Nothin in the owners manual about amount....
