Or had you drained that previously

What a timely post, I’ve literally just put mine on the centre stand with a piece of wood under it hoping it would do just that. Came to look here for any tips before I start, it’s my first oil change on a CB750. Nice to know I got something right.

TIP, Don't lose the washer that is after the spring. Sometimes they get stuck to the filter and you put them in the bin  :o

Got it safe and sound

Just about to refill, what I found very strange was that neither the oil tank or the sump drain bolts had washers, I do have spares so can fit them, is that normal??

Only when done by a numpty, do make sure the washer is not on there and deformed.
Usualy the filter washer missing as well

Cheers, definitely not there and new washers fitted now and the filter washer presented itself to me nicely.
