Nice vid good details.

About to do my first oil change on my new (to me) 2006 Rocket. I'll watch some more of your videos and see what other kind of maintenance you've done. I plan on doing plugs, gear oil, valve adjustment, etc. I also agree that oil changes should be done every 5-6000 miles. However after watching Project Farm's video on oil filters, I'll never use a Fram in my life lol

Yayyy fresh oil

I watched several vids about where the oil drain plugs were .my 2005 rocket 3 plugs were on front and back and one in middle bottom of oil pan

Thats why the video lists the engine number where the locations changed. Older models have them on the front and back. The process is pretty much the same aside from drain location!

I took my Rocket in to my Triumph dealer for routine service and was promptly scolded by their head wrench for using a Fram oil filter on a previous oil change. We changed it out to an OEM Triumph filter and for about a dollar more than the Fram and about 30% less than a highly touted K&N filter. Lesson learned.

sooo I have already changed oil once on this pig... But it was last year and I knew it had more than one drain plug... so a simple quick search told me YUP 2 plugs... Well 2 plugs for some years... Not my 2011... Needless to say I will now be changing oil again tonight as I didn't drain the oil tank... Thanks for the video. a quick 10 min review would have saved me 50 bucks and an hour of work. Shame on me. Subbed.

Good video like how you torqued the bolts down. But definitely over tightened that oil filter. Only need 1/4 turn past the friction spot "when you first feel the filter gasket touch" other wise great video. Fantastic machine you got there.

Thanks for your video. This is very useful. My 2015 manual says that I should use 10w40 or 10w50 or 15w50. So what is the difference between these types of oil? Why did you decide to use 10w50 instead of 10w40?

Hello, going to do my first oil change. Did you just add that 5,4 litres right away or what, cause manual says "When the engine is firststarted after an oil and filterchange, at least 1 to 1.5 litresof oil will be required to top-up the oil tank to the correctlevel" Doesn't that mean i should first add 4-4,5 liters of oil, then let it idle for a minute, and then add the rest 1-1,5 liters :)

@thewhingnut

Жыл бұрын

With my bike it consistently needed the 5.4l so i would add in that amount and just check the level after it idled. For you or anyone doing for the first few times I would suggest 4l to 4.5l then idle then check the level and adjust.

Is the drain plug torque 25nm the same for all 3?

As with everything it depends on what you like. I love my Rocket, but it's definitely not a beginner bike. I would recommend riding various bikes to find what you like best. So far it's been very reliable for me. Better is a very subjective term. I prefer mine over the Harley's I've ridden but that's my personal preference.

Turn on the light!
