Those hot pipes are a pain when doing oil changes! Great video 😀

A pain was right. Thanks for watching.

Like the filter change on a 4A-FE. Reaching between the exhaust pipes and the hot engine. Burny.

At least you have a center stand, but it did look like a pain with the filter. I'm going to see if they have one like you used to replace it with, for mine. great ideal!

yep, I found a filter, I'm glad you posted this video. I have cataracts and that kind of screwed my riding up, but I got new glasses and can do ok on sunny roads. I hope to post a ride or two soon.

That is the great thing about being burnt.. you always remember the next time. :)

I realise this is quite an old video, but are you sure you should be using "Fully Synthetic Oil" ? the general feeling is these older bikes work a LOT better on Semi Synthetic, and using anything else can cause real issue's down the road.

Hey thanks for watching. As long as the oil is within the manufactures specs all is good. Ride safe.

@@MothershipVideos Manufactures often get things initially wrong though in my experience, I have seen many cases of companies changing the recommended oils in their cars/bikes after a couple of Years, and looking on some forums, there are some horror stories regarding engine wear after using Fully Synthetic, I will personally be using Semi when I do mine in a couple of weeks :)

At least your new filter has a bolt head on top, easy to remove next time.

I change my oil and filter when the engine is cold. I've never seen a valid argument to do it when hot.

I'm sure the reason is because the oil becomes thinner and will therefore drain more rederly, is that how you spell it?, Anyway ride safe.

You can buy a proper drain pan for the oil. A bowel lot lower than the one hes using

I also change with the engine cold, just let it drain for at least 10 minutes, 100% fewer burnt hands. You will never drain all the old oil, there is always some oil sitting up the top. When the guy in the vid fired the bike and remeasured the oil level, notice it was darker after mixing with the remaining old oil still inside.

It was bad enough watching you drain the sump but when you attempted the filter with the wrong tool I had to turn it off. Was this supposed to be an instructional video or one to show how incompetent you really are. Buy the right tools & oil changes on a 1400 are a breeze but from the bit I watched I think you should send the bike elsewhere for service. If you managed to get it together did you strip the sump plug thread like most that have no idea?
