In this tutorial, you will learn how to change the engine oil in the KTM 1290 Adventure R, a very simple and quick operation to perform every 12 months. First, wait for the engine to cool down sufficiently, then position a container underneath and remove the metal cover. Next, locate the bolts of the two drain holes, unscrew them, and allow all the oil in the system to drain out. After that, open the cap from the filter housing, replace the filter, and reassemble everything. At this point, simply pour in the new oil through the designated hole.
