Just finished the oil and coolant change on my 2010 R1 and your videos on both saved me tons of money. My mechanic is great but 95 an hour and he marks my bike at 2 just for oil cause of how tight it is to work in there around the headers! Thank you!

Put foil around your headers when doing the filter so you don't get oil on them!

Awesome step by step video man. Doing my first oil change on my 09 R1 today. Appreciate the upload.

Great video! Thanks, bro! R1 riders, let's go!!!

I liked so much learn more about how can I change the Yamaha R1 oil! I'm from Brazil and I'm glad to you!

Much easier than my old R6 ! Look forward to doing that after winter on my new R1 :o)

I learned how to change the oil, just to buy a R1... :) Good video.

great step by step guide bro. imma change oil on mine. 2013-R1.

Thanks for the video man, just got the oil change done on my r1! 🤙

Great video! I am about to undergo the first oil change. When I change the oil on a car I always replace the crush washer on the drain plug. I hope none of the 1/4 turn brackets break when I take my fairings off again. I had two break on me on my 13' R1 when I was taking them off to install the frame sliders.

Thanks for taking the time to show us that!

Dude, AWESOME VIDEO! Well put together and to the point. I was looking at what I needed to take off to get to the filter and got a "refresher" class.

Lindy Hoagland I would go with Mobil 1 10w40 Racing 4T. Walamrt should have the best price. This is the oil I am going to use on my next oil change. I have used this oil on all my bikes in the past and never had a problem. I also use Mobil 1 for my BMW. So far 8 years 222k miles and no single problem with the engine.

Great video man! Thanks. Went by every step.

Nicely done!

Thanks for great manual!!!!!!!!! :) This weekend I'll change the oil by the manual. :)

thx man very simple and great demonstration

Best tutorial on KZread

Sen De Silva Try wrapping a portion of the header in tin foil before changing your oil. If you take a few minutes you can fold the foil in such a way that it funnels the oil from the filter away from the header and directly into your oil catch pan.

Really helpful thanks bro it's expensive to change the oil at the shop 😃👍

Thank you...very helpful. Now I can change the oil on my R1 2009 with the help of your detailed video.. Thanks again

Great video, although it stressed me out watching how tight your torqued that sump plug to. Definitely recommend a torque wrench for that job, since the cost of over torqueing it can be so high and it's very easy to do by accident.

Great dude thx

awesome

I put tinfoil around the header area when removing the oil filter to keep the pipes clean- you should try it

Mannnn that music was ANNOYING as Hellie!! Thanks for the DIY thO!!! This video should have way more views!! Great job 👍👍💯🏍

thanks a lot, now i wont pay my mechanic to do it for me, do you have videos on putting yoshimura exhausts?

Not sure why you took the side fairing off. I just removed the lowers on each side and was able to do mine without any space/clearance issues. But very good video nevertheless.

What’s the best oil for 2012?

Or you could just take the right fairing off to get the filter out, and just one rear left fastener to get to the drain plug. 👍

where did you get that oil spout that you screw on to the gallon

Nice video but always put blankets down when taking farings off as they scratch so easy. Put a rag on the headers before oil filter removal and clean any spill off the headers with brake ckeaner. Good job tho

15-50w lubricant its ok for r1?

After you turn it off do you seat on the bike or you let it cool first

i gueas after 20 seconds rubbing that oilfilter with lubricant..... it's good enough

Do I need yamalube? Or is 10w40 fine

i LOVE Yamaha …i've owned 6 R1's …2001,2003,2005,2007,2009 & 2012 with the TCS ..i think it's time Yamaha upgraded it's bike.. also I hate having my ass kicked by the older R1's on the motorway, ESPECIALLY the 2005 model (never should have sold it)

Nice bike but why did it take you all day to do an oil change? Also when i do oil changes i put oil around the filter just so its easier to take out next time... If you dont its gonna be like pulling out king arthurs sword from the rock

Czesc Mike czy polecasz R1 jako pierwsze moto ??

I watch this video every time I change oil

300V Factory Line Road Racing 10W40 100% synthetic 4-Stroke motorcycle racing lubricant developed for Factory Teams. 300V Factory Line lubricant takes advantage of the ESTER Core® Technology to ensure you maximum power output of the engine without compromising the reliability and the wear. By selecting esters over other high performance synthetic base stocks and combining them with an innovative additive package, MOTUL has created a perfect synergy dedicated to the engine, the gearbox and the clutch. (I only use the oil nr.1 for my yamaha R1)

You used 20w 50 is that okay

I used non synthhetic becasue it was my 1st or second oil change. I have used syntethinc on the third. I use Mobil 1 10w-30 and works best for me :)

I found it quicker and easier to just remove the bottom half of the fairing, can remove filter and install new one just as easily

I just have a question. Why do you warm up the bike first? I'm used to working on cars and have never done this, just wondering if it is something specific to bikes? Thanks!

Oil comes out better when it warm!

You forgot your torques on the drain bolt and oil filter. 15N if I remember rightly for the filter... You look liked you were giving it 1500N! :-). Good vid tho...

How do you get the bottom pin out of the side fairing? My 2009 r1 has 3 different pins in the fairings. The top 2 on the left side are the pop out ones with the buttons, and the bottom one is like a big tac... I am afraid it will break if I wedge it out.

The specs are in the owners manual but I always tighten it as much as I can (my personal preference). A lot of my friends don't even use a tool to tighten it. To answer your question i would say: Tighten it good, but not too much :)

Tighten the oil filter by hand only if you can grip it sufficiently. This R1 doesn't offer much space for hand-tightening, so tool it if necessary but don't get aggressive.

You should fill your new oil filter about halfway with fresh oil too and then spin it around on the side so that the oil gets absorbed by the filter medium. Do this a second time until it won't absorb anymore, then install the filter. This helps the system get oil pumping quicker after the initial startup on the fresh oil. It would be nice to be able to fill the filter all the way, but since our bikes have a sideways mounted filter it would just pour out when installing the new filter. Another trick is to put aluminum foil or some clean rags on top of your headers so they don't get soaked in the old oil coming out of the filter upon removal.

be very difficult to attach the oil filter...

amine brci It's not clear in the video but on most bikes you will be able to find two marks on the oil level inspection window indicating minimum and maximum. You just need to make sure that the oil level is between those two marks.f.tqn.com/y/motorcycles/1/S/e/I/-/-/OilLevel.jpg Good luck!

You can go by the marks, but you will allways get the motor light on why? low oil r1 take just alittle more then 4 quarts, just a little so your light will not come on. Mine was going on and the dealer says put a little more oil in it, 4 quarts and around one inch from the bottle. Your light will not come on if you do not ride hard. I do and just a little more oil and no problems. no light . Great video!! Jacob K

Oil change is pretty much the same on all Japanese bikes

I DID EXACTLY as you said but after i started the bike IT STARTED SMOKING from the front just under the oil filter. can someone tell me why? i know i did nothing wrong in terms of the oil change but when the engine reached about 70 degrees celcius it started smoking. i'm a very paranoid guy so i just turned it off immediately too scared to start again. anyone know what;s wrong??

@Mike12r1_Official

It started smoking because you probably spilled oil on the headers (exhaust pipes). Don't worry about it, it will smoke for a while and then stop.

yes that's what a lot of guys have told me now so how long should i start it for the smoke to go away?

I saw I guy do this by just removing the bottom fairing. No need for the top.

Curious why you didnt opt for the K&N filter with the wrench socket top? Those yamaha oil filters are a factory installed conspiracy lol
