Bringing back the old thread.. I think Ken has a lot of stuff saved over and I'll also put together some of the stuff I managed to save from this thread.

Take it away Ken!

Ok, lets start compiling it. I will get it done ASAP after Diwali. Aryan has some of my pics of the Air Filter change. If he does not put them up, I will need them from him to put them up. In the meanwhile I will put up the basic service posts, oil, oil filter change. I will like to have the Torque figures from you too. And I am still waiting for the CD!

Ps; I liked your older avatar!

@Kriss: Yeah, I'm putting up the pics on how to change the windscreen, oil change and the coolant in due time.

For now, the oil change:

1) Remove left side lower fairings.

2) Start engine, let the engine warm up for a few minutes.

3) Locate engine oil drain bolt, and remove to let the old oil drain out.

4) Remove the old oil filter out. Use an oil filter wrench, or if you don't have one, tap a screwdriver through the old filter and use that to unscrew the oil filter out.

5) Once all the oil, and oil filter is out, screw the bolt back on with the right torque (43 Nm/4.3 m-kg/31 ft-lb).

6) Put in the new oil filter. Before putting it in, dip your finger in some new oil, and wet the rubber o-ring on the filter. Fill the filter with about 500 ml of oil, so that the element can absorb the oil. This is to get the filter working from the get-go. Now put the new filter with the oil in. If you are using the oil filter wrench, torque it back to 17 Nm/1.7 m-kg/12 ft-lb.

7) Now, open the oil cap and fill in the new oil. You will need about 3.2 litres if you are changing the oil filter, and 2.9 litres if changing the oil only. The 2008 R1 runs on 20W40 oil.

8) Close the cap, start the engine, check for any leaks around the work area.

a) If any leaks, retorque the engine bolts, or check over over-torqueing.

9) Put back the fairing.

10) Ride out!

PS: The old oil draining out will be hot. Make sure you do not scald yourself!

Changing windscreen on a 2008 YZF-R1

1) Remove the mirrors:

Two sets of bolts under the windscreen, above the speedo console.

Leave the metal round spacers in the sockets! Don't remove!

2) Remove the windscreen:

Gently remove the windscreen. Tap it once on the front to remove it from its slots and slide it outwards.

3) Put in the new windscreen.

In my case, I chose a dark Puig racing screen.

Slide the screen in, and fit it into the slots.

4) Fix the mirrors back:

Make sure the spacers stay in position.

PS: Puig supplied a plastic beading to be fixed around the outer edge of the windscreen. Helps a bit more in reducing wind blast.

Some interesting things:

1) Difference between stock and Puig Racing Screen:

2) Interesting sticker

That's it!
