The oil pump filter screen should be checked and cleaned during an oil change, particularly the first oil change. If you want to do this separately you will need to drain the oil first else through the sump plug, unless you like a less controlled mess as the oil comes out all around the screen's cover as it's being undone.

The screen can be accessed if you take out the three bolts around the cover (part number 16523-05200) - they take an 8mm socket and are part number 01547-06208, M6x20mm:

Anyhow, back to the screen. We didn't remove the two bolts to clean it outside of the motor as the debris that was on there came away easily;

Once it has been cleaned, ensure that the surface that the O-ring sits against is clean:

We tightened the bolts on the cover to ~14ft/lb:

Done! Remember to check for leaks once you re-fill with oil and on your test ride in case something went awry on reinstallation.
