How do you change the oil and filter on an 05 GSXR 600?

I just got it and it didn't come with the service manual. I'm downloading it now but it probably won't be done for a few hoursHow do you change the oil and filter on an 05 GSXR 600?
There is a bolt near the kickstand switch called a drain pan plug. Jus like a car, when you unscrew it, the oil will come out.





Pull the lower fairings off. Drain the oil into a pan or whatever you can fit under the bike. Once the oil is out, put the plug back in. You'll need a socket. Pliers or wrench may just strip the bolt.





Next look up front there the exhaust starts. you'll see the oil filter mounted to the front of the engine. You should be able to unscrew it with your hands but in case you can, use a pair of large chanel locks pliers to grip it and loosen it. Before you unscrew it all the way, drape a towel over the pipes because some oil will spill out of the filter.





Now remove the old filter. Using your finger, put some fresh oil on the rubber gasket of the new filter. Pour about 2 capfulls of fresh oil into the center chamber of the new filter. Now screw it onto the bike. Hand tighten only. Get it as tight as possible using your hand.





Now add 3 quarts of the recommended oil. I use base brand 20W50 in the hot months and 10W40 in cooler months. With three quarts in, make sure the drain plug is on correctly, the filter is tight, and the oil cap is screwed down. Start the bike and let it idle 60 seconds, don't rev it. Cut it off, have a friend stand the bike up while you pour more oil in and check the site glass. Pour to the appropriate level.





Put the oil cap back on and then the fairings. You're done. Make sure you take the old oil to the nearest recycle location. Autozone and Advanced do it free.How do you change the oil and filter on an 05 GSXR 600?
