Location of Oil Pickup screen 05 620

[seevtsaab]

Ok silly question - where is the oil pick up screen accessed on my 05 620?

There's a couple culprits (bolt heads) facing forward just above the oil filter.

Kinda late to think of this as I'm planning an oil change tonight.

Neither my Haynes nor DesmoTimes seems to point this out specifically.

I can run out and get a pic but the bike is a hike across the parking lot away, and it's hotter'n hell out.


Thanks!

Trace a line straight down from where the oil pressure sensor is. You'll see a black wire running to the cut out at the bottom of the clutch cover section of the engine case - it's behind there. You disconnect that wire, remove the sensor that it was connected to, then you'll need a giant allen key (17mm I think) to remove the screen

I've got one from when I had a 620. If you're not in a rush (can't get to Post office until sat) and want to cover the shipping costs - it's yours. It'd probably cost a few bucks to ship, since it's probably about 2 pounds...

PM me if you're interested.
