1. Remove the four bolts that attach the right foot peg and foot brake assembly. Disconnect the electrical connection for the brake light. Leave the hose to the brake fluid reservoir connected. 2. Loosen and remove the muffler assembly from the motorcycle. Loosen the manifold nuts for the lower exhaust pipe (front cylinder) and remove it. 3 3. Remove the five bolts that secure the beauty cover to the motor casing and remove the cover. 4. Remove the oil filter cap and the oil filter. Be aware that the bottom bolt hole has an O- ring. Do not lose or damage this O-ring. Remove the two O-rings from the filter cap with an O-ring pick and inspect them. Replace them if there is any damage or signs of wear. 4 5. Lightly grease the O-rings and install them into their respective locations on the filter plate adapter as shown below. 6. Insert the filter plate adapter carefully into the filter housing to prevent damage to the O- rings. 7. Install the bolts for the filter plate adapter. The bottom bolt location of the filter housing requires a different bolt than all the others. This bolt has a larger head and collar diameter. The top rear bolt hole of the filter adapter will now use one of the short 6x20mm bolts removed from the beauty cover. There are two remaining holes on the motor casing left empty from the removal of the beauty cover. Use two of the bolts from the “Yamaha” cap to fill these locations. Use a thread lock compound such as Loctite ® Blue Threadlocker 243. Evenly tighten the bolts on the filter adapter with quarter turns, until tight. Finish tightening the filter plate adaptor bolts to 7.2 ft-lb each. 58. Install the short end of the spud into the remote filter housing. Do not use thread compound for this step. 9. Install the 45° Elbow to the input port of the remote filter housing as shown below. Position the opening of the fitting to face inward and down slightly to the remote filter housing. Install the fixed end of the oil lines to the remote filter housing. Use Teflon tape or some other type of thread compound on all oil line fittings. 10. Install the compression fittings to the filter plate adapter. 11. Route each oil line between the frame and the brake fluid reservoir and slightly thread the swivel from each oil line into place as shown below. Many different configurations for routing oil lines can be used depending on the height and angle chosen for the remote filter housing when mounted on the frame. Before tightening compression fittings, position the remote filter housing on the frame and adjust the routing of the lines to your preference. After choosing a routing option for the oil lines, tighten the compression fitting
