Does anyone have a link or a step-by-step process of how to replace the air/oil filter on a 2007 FZ6

Thanks!

Try the search feature, there is a least one very good post on the oil change.

You may look at the service manual for your bike.

Thanks guys!

I got it done this weekend.

I just installed K&N YA-6004 air filter and I definitely feel that the bike breaths better

Sorry for the off-topic but doesn't this K&N filter require remapping of the fuel system electronics?

Well, the bike's EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) system can handle and adapt to small modifications. So, maybe not..

If he adds an aftermarket exhaust system down the line he will most likely have to remap the FI system or the bike will run a little lean.

I have an 06 with the K&N and Scorpion Exhaust. My bike has not been remapped but it does run a bit lean.

You don't really need a power commander if you just change af/exhaust. It did help me when I had a dip in my midrange but not really necessary.

Thought I would add a little info/pics of stuff not shown/covered in the manual.

One- When removing panels A and B the quick fastener is under the rubber piece on the mirrors.

Second- I use a wooden stake to prop up the fuel tank and hold it in place while taking off air box lid. It's about 17in long.

Third- Be careful when reinstalling panels A and b, as the metal mounting tab on each side is sharp on the back side and can/will/did scratch the fairings.

Everything else was pretty self explanatory and clear. Hope it can help someone.
