Just a heads up from a fellow Kat rider. Everyone, make sure you open the top screw where you put in fresh oil before draining it so it drains out much smoother. This makes it so there isn't any sort of vacuum inside the bike and you don't get that "Glug Glug Glug"

Bailey Ridgeway Right side, right above the little window to check how much is in there. There's a panel with one bolt in it to screw open then a cap and that's where it goes in

Hey Floyd and Ben: I'd take the top screw off before draining - to make sure you can! If you drain it then find you can't take the filler screw out - you aren't driving this anywhere...

Just picked up a 93" 1100cc katana 😎 and now it has a new filter and fresh oil 🤙

Ok you made me laugh with "hot" comments. And, it's good to see others still riding a classic.

Is that a 600 or 750? I have a 750 and Im tyring to fihure out how much oil its supposed to have. The 17mm socket is great info. Thanks.

Thx for the help with this video

Not only did I love your video I love your shirt

How do you change the air filter

the oil after a ride is not hot enough to get 2nd or 3rd degree burns. Oils and radiator fluids are made not to exceed those temperatures... When i do an oil change, I ride my bike; get all my shit & tools ready; then just change it rite away when the oil is super hot!

About to attempt it on my 96 katana

What size bolt?

Get a fumoto valve. Saves so much time

Seriously Ben, who told you change the oil when it is hot? In the summer the viscosity level of the oil is already thin.

How many quarts bro ?

You could not wait till is gets cool before starting the video

I searched for this video because I thought I'd have to drain the oil cooler also. But you didn't touch it so I'm assuming I was wrong with my original assumption?

Hey man so I had my oil level at full I ran my bike a couple times since and I don’t see crap on my indicator now ! I’m just wondering if this is normal. I put like 4.5 litters in and I don’t wanna add more lol

Josh Gore stand the bike up straight then look, maybe that helps

Have a question for you before I go buy it is a GSXR 750 1993 liquid cooled

I'm no expert by any stretch, but the easiest way to tell is to look for a radiator inside that intake in the front fairing.

Is this page still active?!

if that fresj oil isn't hot, then it looks over filled.

Do you know how many turn out the pilot air screw mixture ?

Check out the Katriders website. Read all the post they all say something different. I did mine at 2 turn . Runs good it’s not a gixxer but it’s no slow cow. It’s moves and takes me wherever I want to go with plenty of gas to spare

Good video. Is that a 2006 Katana?

What's the tool called you were using to take off the filter

@benfixeseverything8526

kenny Miller It's an oil filter wrench. I have three different wrenches from all the oil changes, the last couple filters have had rachet holes built into them, which requires nothing special! The best way to know what you need is to take the filter out at the point of purchase to see if you need a specific wrench.

Can i do this with out starting the bike....mine is an 99' thks Ben fix

could this be the reason my bike is over heating

@benfixeseverything8526

Larry Harlem It is definitely possible. If your bike is strictly air-cooled, possibly switching to a higher octane fuel can help with that as higher octane fuel burns at a lower temperature. I had an old Volkswagen that would overheat all the time unless I filled it with premium. But oil still is a critical part of cooling the inside of the motor. :)

Ben Fixes Everything! I have the exact same bike I was reading up and it says it is oil cooled this is my first bike so I'm trying to figure out why it's over heating

@benfixeseverything8526

I would definitely start with fresh oil, and make sure it is full (but do not overfill it!). Make sure all the cylinder head cooling fins are in good shape and are clean, those directly cool the cylinders, and lastly I would clear out the fuel and try a higher octane. I personally cycle through one tank of 88, one tank of 92 and back to 88. I've never run the lowest fuel and I've never had an issue even on 100 degree days. I'll keep thinking on it for you, tho.
