How to Change the Oil on a Yamaha Raider | 2008 Yamaha Raider Oil Change | Partzilla.com
See how to change the oil on a Yamaha Raider in this video from Partzilla.com.
Oil changes are simple, right? Drain the oil, change the filter, fill it up. But a Yamaha Raider oil change has a few extra wrinkles.
We’ll start by warming up the engine and opening the oil fill located under the saddle. Then John will show you the three drain bolt locations on the Yamaha Raider, and getting to them is a bit tricky.
They’re all 17mm drain bolts, but because of the tight quarters, you’ll need to thin out the outside of a 17mm wrench to get it to fit around two of the bolts. Some people will just drain at the oil tank, but that’s not enough to get all of the oil out of the machine.
With the oil drained, we’ll get the drain bolts back in place. The oil tank bolt takes 31 foot-pounds of torque and the other two drain bolts take 23 foot-pounds.
With the drain bolts back in place, we’ll change the oil filter. When you replace it, use a 65mm filter wrench and torque to 12-foot pounds.
The oil capacity of a 2008 Yamaha Raider is about 5.5 quarts, but there is a process to getting the oil into the engine. First, add 2.5 quarts and then close the oil fill and crank the engine and rev it a couple of times to get oil moving into the system. Then turn the engine off, open the fill, and add the other three quarts.
You should change the oil on your Yamaha Raider once a year or every 4000 miles.

If you have old yamaha tools it will fit. I had a 89 venture and the wrench fit without modifying it
Thanks for the great info!
Hi John. The wrench adapter is designed for connecting power handles of all kinds, with or without a ratchet. To measure correctly with a torque wrench, the line that connects the screw head, to the torque wrench head needs to be at 90 degrees to the handle of the torque wrench. I think maybe this is not what we see at: 5:20 In your demonstration the length of the adapter was added to the length of the handle, which created a greater torque than what the torque wrench measured. But maybe I'm wronge.

Think the swivel action of the SnapOn TW might be skewing the perceived angle at that moment.
Best video out there for the raider

Your videos are always so informative and on point! Thanks so much for your help!!!
Great video, thanks
What about loosening the oil gallery bolts when you intitially start it after you fill it up?
Why the hell are theyre 3 drain plugs?
Great video! Bike shopping lately, any year I should stay away from?
Hello. What is the brand torque wrench?
I let my oil drain for many hours including tilting the vehicle side to side. Do this and your oil will stay clean for alot longer
Sounds like the ol battery is getting a little tired

Its not the battery. These bikes are notorious for having a slow starter speed when turning over. The only way to fix it is to replace the wires going to the starter and ground with a beefier lower gauge wire. MaxAir Engineering makes an 8 gauge kit for these bikes. It solves the slow starter issue.

I see he used 10w40? I've always used 20w50. Better for summer high heat, I thought. I don't ride in cooler weather. Should I be running 10w40 ??

No you are fine
Procedure is the same for the Stratoliner and Roadliner as they have the same engine…
