Thank you guys. Super helpful video. Some additional info for those doing the same - 1.) It will take the full 90ml oil it came with. Like they said, if you lift the front of the bike it drains back into the gearbox and allows more in. Since I was solo and without a stand, I would fill to the top, then lift the front end of the bike allowing it to drain back to let me to add more. I had to repeat this quite a few times. 2.) Be careful with the two screws that hold the metal bottom bracket (the bracket that gives you a place to screw into the bottom of the plastic cover). Lot's of people (including me) have over torqued these and they'll snap right off, leaving them stuck inside. Use an allen wrench by hand and don't he-man it.

Hey i just really wanted to thank you guys, I was able to do my first oil change. I don't think you understand how big of a deal this is for me as someone grew up without a father, who has zero knowledge of anything tool related someone who struggles to put up IKEA furniture.... when I saw I had to do this myself I was worried, so I went to the tool store today, I bought the tools I needed, and I was able to do it, it's all thanks to you guys and this great tutorial video. Much love, thanks a bunch.

Nice! We need more poeple willing to atleast try and do stuff like on their own. Its all just a learning process after youve looked into it enough to understand what you need to do.. Now its time to find more parts to replace and swap out with upgrades and let the fun begin! Lol

Love the content! Keep it up guys.

thank you guys for making such an amazing video! love the family vibe

This is awesome, thanks for all you do.

Great content and information. Keep it up.

Great video keep it up.

Thanks for the tips!! Oil change went smoothly. I will warm up the gearbox next time so the oil flows better. I also found that if you turn the wheel a little, it helps distribute the oil better. Still have at least 10mL left. Thanks again!

Great job guys!

Great video! Pro tip, make sure to clean around dipstick (top) before opening. for that matter, clean the whole bike well, before opening that up, dirt can fall down from the seat area, right into the hole Don't want dirt or contamination in the gearbox.

Thank you so much. This was so helpful. I utilized every bit of your tips to get the oil changed. I even had to go buy a blow torch to get off the oil bolt. I Should have watched which way you loosened the bolt. I was actually trying to tighten it at first. That was a mistake.. Thanks again!

This made the oil change so much easier. Thanks guys! 🤘🏼

Good video, keep it up

On the drain bolt, heat is good, you can also take a rubber mallet and tap the end of your ratchet to create a "mini" impact effect on the bolt with the hand ratchet. Keeping your socket firmly and evenly on the bolt when tapping.

if you leave the rear bolts on the bash guard and just swing it downwards you can have your oil pan hang off the bike what this allows you to do is roll it forwards and backwards a few times, which will rotate the gears and you'll see a bit more oil slush out, just guarantees you flush the entire system i also roll it forward and backwards a few times when im filling it or it doesn't accept the full 75-90ml

good idea with the lighter !

For the oil drain bolt i used a breaker bar and tightened it a bit THEN loosened it, it then came off ez first time, no heat needed.

Is the drain plug magnetic? If it’s not I could see that being beneficial to add.

Good luck with your business guys

MOST IMPORTANT: USE A HIGH END SOCKET OF EXACT SIZE. DO NOT USE A WRENCH. PREHEAT the area to help release the lock tight. You do not want to strip the bolt.

The factory oil is break in oil and the oil you put in is a bit higher quality. No need to put really high end oil in.

Talaria getting the specs wrong in the beginning caused a lot of confusion. I carefully measure fluids I'm changing so I knew 87 ml came out and no way 150 was going back in. Hard to convince people to go against the factory specs. A single drive up car ramp shoved against the wall and a couple tie downs makes it very easy to raise the front of the bike by yourself.
