Answer
Hi Jeremy,

I encourage everyone to perform MC maintenance and repairs.

I recommend purchasing the service manual for your model year. The manual will pay for itself with the first work you perform.

The service manual has oil and oil filter servicing information, too. There's important information that you should review before perfroming any work on your Ninja.
