oil change realllllly simple. take whatever plastics u have in the way of your oil filter off if any, some bikes u can remove it without taking any plastics off. warm your bike up. open the filler cap then put an oil tub under ur bike where the drain plug is, unbolt the drain plug and drain the oil. make sure to lift ur bike up off the side stand so its level to get as much oil out as possible. move it back and forth a bit to get it all. put the drain plug back in and slide the tub under where your oil fliter is. if u have an oil filter wrench thing its very helpful u can pick one up for like 5 dollars at an automotive store or ur local bike shop. take the oil filter off and let that **** drain out. take new oil filter and stick ur finger in some new oil and put it around the edge of the new oil filter and put it on, only really need to put it on as tight as you can turn it with your hand. now fill the oil up to the recomended amount, theres usually a sticker on your bike somewhere that shows you how much goes in. if not the information is online somewhere, most 600s take a about 3.8 quarts with a filter change, dont know how much a 250 takes. fill it to where u think its supposed to be. then start the bike up run it for about 10 mins and recheck the oil level rather it has a dipstick or an oil window idk on 250s but make sure when u check the level its when the bike is upright. get the level right and put the cap back in and put ur **** back together and ur good. remind u that the oil drain bolt doesnt go on very tight i think most are like 12ftlbs of torque with a torque wrench. you can find online manuals by searching google and downloading them to find all your torque specs.
