Model: Yamaha Yzf R3
Part: Engine oil

To replace the engine oil of the Yamaha YZF-R3, loosen the drain plug of the oil sump, located at the lower central area of the bike: once this plug is unscrewed, you can collect all the used oil in a suitably positioned container. After the oil has drained out, you can remove the filter located in the front wheel arch and replace it as well. Finally, complete the operation by topping up with the necessary amount of oil, which should be added through the breather on the right side.
