Do you have a great way to change the oil on the new FZ-09? Oh yeah? Well you should take some good pictures and create a new thread and share your knowledge with the community!

i just did my first oil change today i dont have pics but i will say a rear stand isnt nessecary the oil drains better on the side and its eaiser to get to the oil filler hole and deffinatly need a oil filter wrench for the filter they are on there pretty tight the rest is self explanatory not difficult at all.

So it's just a standard "wet sump" oil pan, nothing special?

I only ask because I'm coming from a Yamaha Warrior, which has a semi-dry sump oiling system. Changing and checking the oil level is more complicated, just more steps to it and there's a very specific procedure. Guess I hope that Yamaha designed the system on the FZ so that the oil pickup stays submerged during the wheelies.... Otherwise we could have problems But this is Yamaha we're talking about, not Suzuki so I shouldn't be worried
