Good idea!

No mention of removing the exhaust in the workshop manual bud

Also, you have PM

Remove dipstick - remove oil drain bolt with 17mm spanner - drain oil into a pan - also remove internal plastic filter - remove oil filter with removal tool - no requirement for exhaust removal - lean scooter to the side to get all the oil out - refit drain bolt and the clean plastic filter - renew OEM oil filter - fil with 1300cc of suitable engine oil refit the dipstick - run engine then check level and top up if necessary - fully tighten the dipstick to get an accurate reading or check this video

Thanks Sym, I'll get to and order said filter.

As said the exhaust does not have to come off. But the filter is still a little awkward to get at so get a filter removal tool. Chain or strap type is best. Again Halfords do a nice chain type for £4.95 that will fit the small size of the GTS.I did mine without the tool but wished I had used one as it's quicker and easier.

I think I can borrow one, if not I'll get one too. Cheers for the info.
