where is the oil filter on a 200s? Does it have one?

There is a bolt cover on the bottom that looks the same as the valve covers. On the left side remove it and its behind there I believe.

The oil drain plug is on the left side of the bike when you are siting on it. It is just under the shifter lever. There is a spring and wire filter behind the cap.

It's not really a filter, it's a screen that you clean and re-use. Looks like a thimble made of wire mesh.

yeah, that's it. Hmm, that remiinds me, time for a oil change, hehe.

actually there is another oil filter, you have to remove the right crankcase cover, it's the oil filter rotor. I have never changed/cleaned it on mine, and it's rarely ever mentioned here, so I don't worry bout it. The manual calls for the inside of the oil filter rotor cover and rotor to be cleaned and a new gasket used. I've never even seen this gasket listed when searching for parts. Again, I don't worry bout it, maybe someone else has some input.

Yea, on my 200s the oil rotor filter has never been cleaned. the only bolt ever taken out of that motor is the drain plug. I think the carbs been cleaned less than 5 times in its whole existance too.
