Changing the oil / oil filter
Can anyone give me a brief guide on how to change a zxr's oil and replace the oil filter?
Firstly I need to locate the drain plug and then to completley replace the oil filter, i'd appreciate any help with this or even a basic list of things I have to do and where to locate them.

Oil drain plug is the lowest one on the engine I believe, I think its a 17mm bolt. Take off the RH fairing and drain the oil out from the plug then unscreen the oil filter (you can reach in between the engine and exhuast) screw in new oil filter, refit the drain plug (else you have a new slimey carpet that cost you about £20) then put new oil in. Very simple job. It's all in the manual.

you are recommended to change the sealing washer but as said above, who does it?
