Need some help with a 89 kawasaki fx 400r.

[Spiderhus]

Too bad I dont have a manual of any kind, otherwise I would be able to do this on my own. A couple of questions with people who have had experience on this bike, or just know about it.

Where the heck is the oil filter? If it is where I think it is, then it is the oddest oil filter I have ever seen. Completely flat, and sits almost flush to the engine at the bottom of the bike. Where can I get these oil filters? Can I use the modern ones??

Also, the spark plugs need to be changed I think. What type do I get? And what should the gapping be?

Argh. What a fantastic bike, but changing/fixing things on this bike can be a headache I think.

Iv seen lots of bikes with this type of filter. The internal ones are usually of the paper form, but it could be a spring and strainer who knows!? Open what your talking about and have a look!
And as for the spark plugs, take them out, check which ones they are, buy them and put them in!

The FX400R is a re-styled GPZ400R I think, so most running-gear parts (and probably all engine parts) will be identical.

that decribes stuff about the bike,
basically saying its a naked gpx or gpz 400 using most parts from those bikes and the same oil filter as the zx4 as well
