There are two sump bolts on these motors...one near the oil filter bolt under the engine towards the rear...the other is next to the oil cooler line fitting under the front of the motor...remove drain bolts and then remove filler cap as it speeds up draining. When drained...refit bolts and remove oil filter (round cover under rear of motor, centre bolt with same size head as sump plugs). Fit new filter and refill oil with approx. 3.5 litres...
Follow the hydraulic clutch line to the slave cylinder on the left side of the motor. You should be able to see if it's leaking from there. If it is,remove the three bolts that hold the slave cylinder on. It should be dry behind there. If it's not,
find a slave cylinder rebuild kit from K&L.
There are actually two drain plugs...look for the 17mm bolts with the washer under the head. The washers are "crush" washers that need to be inspected and replaced if necessary to prevent leaks.
The other bolt that needs to be removed is the oil filter drain plug. It is the large round cap. The bolt has an O ring for a seal. The new filter should come with an O ring for the drain bolt as well as a large O ring for the cover. (Be sure to ask or inspect the box when you buy a new one)
Check your manual for torque specs to be sure and not overtighten.
On my '91ZX1100c the torque settings for the drain bolts = 18ft/lb and the oil filter bolt = 14.5 ft/lb.
check your settings to be sure.
Bottom of motor there is about a 31/2" round cover with a bolt through the middle thats the filter you may have to remove the exhaust to get to it on your bike
FIRST REMOVE 3 BOLTS ON CLUTCH ACTUATOR FROM LEFT SIDE ON FRONT CHAIN COVER THEN REMOVE4 BOLTS FROM CHAIN COVER WIGGLE BACK AND FORTH WITH PULLING PRESSURE AND IT SHOULD COME OFF
Torque settings are as follows, at least these are what I used on my '93 UK E1.
Cover bolts 12Nm, Cover damper bolts 5.9Nm, spring bolts 8.8Nm, Hub nut 130Nm.
