I just recently purchased a 2021 R3. Thank you for this video man. It is straightforward and informative. I'm looking forward on changing my oil as well by myself.

Appreciate it! Doing first oil change today on my 2021 I snagged this past summer.

Simple and to the point. Thank you!

Awesome video, brother. I usually run the engine before to warm up the oil, so that it all comes out. I've had issue with bikes and holding onto oil and not having a level to tell me where it's at, causing over filling. Anyway, this is thorough as hell, thank you.

Great tip, I do the same with my motorcycle and cars! Just edited it out for time sake in the video.

Thanks for the clear explanation, I can't belive they made me pay $370 CA on my first two services for something this easy, I would never pay that much again :)

Thank you very much, your video is absolutely helpful, god bless you 🙏

I just started my motovlog.Thanks for the tips.

I had to rewatch this since I’m bout a do mine first engine break in oil change. But u don’t need to warm up the bike. U just have to open the oil cap so gravity take it out. And warming it up u just putting the dirty oil back on top of engine block. As a master mechanic that how I change my cars and especially bike.

Before the buying motorcycle I had to know this, thanks.

Great vid bro thanks!

Hey the link for the oil drain plug does work I was wondering if you had another one?

Does it matter if my yamalube says four stroke 10w-40

You will definitely need an oil filter wrench if it's your 600mi oil change. Yamaha practically welds it to the engine from the factory.

AWESOME video. Thank you!!! Enjoy your bike ;-)

Does anyone know the size of the crush bolt or washer?

Does this apply for yamaha R3 2024?

I recently got my 2020 R3. Where did you get your bar ends and frame and axel sljders from?

Buddy of mine tried changing oil on his bike and turns out the filter is reverse threaded, clockwise to remove. Took way too long to figure that one out (TX, USA)

How often should I change it?

What does the oil filter for r3 called?

Great video man, would you consider the Yamaha frame sliders or TST? And what about a bigger tire like a 160 or a aftermarket rim 5.5 with an 180 ?

I think the Womet-Tech ones are pretty solid for the price. You do have to cut the fairings though so unless you have the proper tools, it may not look very clean. Getting a 150 wide on the back is one of my next changes, not a fan of how skinny the rear tire is.

Nice video! Gonna save a lot if money this way. I do have a question I am a new rider my R3 is my first bike and I was just out on a ride today and the oil light came on. It has about 650 miles on it so far I am doing the oil change this week. Only concern I have is even when I’m leaving the engine running I even took the bike to the right a little bit but I do not see any oil on the indicator at the lower part of the engine even when tilting the bike while the bike is running. Shouldn’t I see something inside the The window? Any help would be greatly appreciated

@moto.obsession

Yes you should see oil in the window. If you don’t, I wouldn’t ride it until you fill up the oil and diagnose the problem if there is one.

Anyone know how to reset the oil light ?

Thanks for the video. I was shown (on cars) to remove the bolt first then do the filter after most of the oil had drained. Any reason why you've done it the other way around? Also - what bike stand do you have? Thanks

@moto.obsession

3 жыл бұрын

No particular reason, it really shouldn’t matter too much but since the drain bolt is usually lower on the motor, I like to remove it last.

How does someone better understand the “nutimeters” or what that term was that you used? Would I be good just tightening it to a good degree to where it feels like it’s on good enough?

So what does it mean when the little oil display on the screen is flashing on and off.

It will usually flash when you first start your motorcycle. Would be a bigger concern if the light stayed on.

I over filled the oil how can I drain abit without unplug the drain plug ??

@moto.obsession

Just open the plug a little bit (not taking it fully off) to let some drain out and then tighten it back on, that's what I've done in the past.

Does the oil have to be at the top line of the oil gauge while it’s on or off?

I need the 4k oil change. Is that a scam or is it a oil change. Yamaha said it's $400.

Some people like to get their maintenance done at the dealer but an oil change is pretty straightforward and the R3 isn’t a premium bike needing special attention for maintenance. The more you know how to work on your own bike the better especially if you plan on doing track days down the road.

Quick question , about how many miles does the bike run before having to do an oil change again , just got mine that’s why I’m asking and the oil light started blinking after having it for just 1 month

@babywueso

600miles is the break In, check your manual for the manufacture recommendations

He forgot to say u only fill it up to the top line if u didn’t put some oil into the filter before screwing it back on

Ok what about the light reset

You don’t have to be a certified mechanic to change your oil and filter 😂 The steps I outlined in the video are straight from the Yamaha service manual: www.yamaha-motor.co.th/docs/owner-manual/commuter/en/r3-en.pdf?Status=Master&sfvrsn=76dfe7c6_4#page60

Any c604 oil filter fits and cost much less than yamaha And before put a new filter you must drain all the oil and half fill the new filter

Do we have to change the bottom bolt? can't we use the same one over and over again?

You can use the bolt again if you want but it’s best to have an extra crush washer on hand in case you can’t use the one you are removing
