Model: Kawasaki Ninja Zx 12r
Part: Engine oil

Video tutorial

In this tutorial, we will see how to change the engine oil in a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R, a very simple and quick operation. First, wait until the engine is cool enough, then open the filler cap, place a container underneath the bike, and using a 17mm socket, unscrew the drain bolt.

Allow all the oil in the system to drain out, remove the inner cover of the wheel arch, and unscrew the old filter. At this point, simply tighten both the filter and the bolt and add the new oil through the upper hole.
