How do you drain the oil from a 2000 Yamaha TTR-90 dirt bike?

To drain the oil from a 2000 Yamaha TTR-90 dirt bike:

1. Gather the necessary tools and materials:

* Oil drain pan

* Funnel

* New oil filter (optional)

* New oil (check your owner's manual for the correct type and amount)

* Wrench

* Rags

2. Prepare the bike:

* Ensure that the bike is in a safe and secure position, either on a stand or with the kickstand down.

* Allow the engine to cool down if it has been running recently.

3. Locate the oil drain plug:

* The oil drain plug is usually located on the bottom of the engine casing. It is typically a bolt with a washer.

4. Place the oil drain pan under the drain plug:

* Make sure the pan is large enough to catch all the oil that will drain out.

5. Loosen the oil drain plug:

* Use the wrench to loosen the oil drain plug. Be careful not to drop the bolt into the oil pan.

6. Allow the oil to drain:

* Allow all of the oil to drain out of the engine into the oil pan. This may take a few minutes.

7. Replace the oil drain plug:

* Once all of the oil has drained out, replace the oil drain plug and tighten it securely.

8. Remove the old oil filter (optional):

* If you are changing the oil filter, now is the time to do so.

* Locate the oil filter, which is usually near the top of the engine.

* Use the wrench to loosen the oil filter and remove it.

* Be careful not to spill any oil.

* Apply a thin coat of new oil to the gasket of the new oil filter before installing it.

* Screw on the new oil filter until it is snug. Do not over-tighten.

9. Add new oil:

* Use the funnel to add new oil to the engine.

* Add the amount of oil specified in your owner's manual.

* Check the oil level using the dipstick to ensure that it is at the correct level.

10. Start the bike and let it run for a few minutes:

* This will circulate the new oil throughout the engine and help to remove any residual old oil.

11. Check the oil level again and add more oil if necessary.
