Tip for any oil change... cut open flat rubble sack (ie a big black bin bag), place under the engine area, put something heavy at each corner to stop it blowing about, then you drain your oil into the basin and avoid having a black puddle on your driveway which would result in divorce for most of us.

i just picked one of these up today, you arent planning to refurb the brakes by chance. i got one of the single calliper versions and its pretty weak. got some braided lines and new pads would love a refresher been a long time since touched brakes

Love it how he just flies by after dropping the oil filter..like, screw it, I've done it again..awesome\m/

Brilliant video

Can i do a cold oil change? (FZS600 2002) I can ride as I am waiting for parts, but I can swap in the clutch, but I cant warm up the engine... :/

had a good laugh when you dropped the filter.

This video makes me miss my VX800... screw on oil filters are so nice

Hi mate I know you worked alot on xj600 so I wanted to ask, cam chain tensioner - is it one of those I can back off from its place to allow it to move up the ratchet and extend one click? Thank you for any input.

Not a boring video Matt!

I won't know, are you trying to tell us all something lol

On modern injection engines you can hold open the throttle and press the starter and this will just rotate the engine. Probably to clear a flooding. Check the owners manual to see if this is supported.

In both your recent oil change vid's didn't see, nor did you say anything about using a crush or sealing washer on the drain plug. My bike (Triumph Bonneville) uses one for the drain plug, as do all the cars I've ever owned. Do you bikes not use them or is that just your philosophy?

Maybe a 6 year old vid though it confirms the hassle! having to remove the pipes just to get to the plug lol, picked mine up last August and with the MOT coming up now in may I've been getting it sorted bit by bit, what year is/was yours? Noticed an oil leak coming from around the filter on mine earlier on and luckily already have the oil and a new filter to go on, just hoping on some dry weather over the weekend to get it sorted.

Hey Matt, I have a question for you. All my bikes have the sump plug on the side of the sidestand. When I drain my oil, I put it on the sidestand so oil can drip out nicely, it's the lowest point of the sump so it flows nicely. I do shake it around a bit at the end to get everything out (yeah not everything I know). I noticed in the video you keep your bike upright. Is the plug on the lowest point on the yamaha? Like with cars? thanks

Usually yes, sometime they don't look like they are but internally the casting has 'canals' that stream the oil to the plug, like the ER5

Nice to see you doing your bit for the environment and returning spare oil to the earth.. oh wait.. ;)

A guy working for my dealer tried to fuck me over by not changing oil filter on my first 1000km service (brand new bike). Luckily I am a bastard so I scratched/marked the old filter prior to the service and when I was to take the bike back I pointed at the scratch mark and demanded an oil filter change as well (they charged me for it on the bill). They did it in front of me together with another oil change. Turns out the guy was stealing from them as well, putting parts he never replaced in his pocket and selling them later "under the counter". He is no longer working for that dealer (and for no one else for that matter, the word gets around really quick). Really stupid move on his behalf, to lose a good job for less than 10 euro...go figure...

I'm glad you moved the drain pan. Where did you learn about "squeezing the dregs" by turning it over? I have never run across that before. You just saved that XJ's life. Probably.

Yer but my Exhaust is a 20 year old Nexxus shite pipe its a bastard to get off and even more of a bastard to refit. It leaks from the connections every more and more each removal and refit really just weighing up my options for a replacement and this video has helped me make the decision to go back to a 4-2.

Nothing wrong with using old oil for the gasket . who are these people? lol

If ur worried ur bikes oil never been changed I don’t think mine has gotten one either got it for 200 bucks

Mine just leaks oil from the cam cover and cam chain tensioner, has a Nissan micra oil filter too.. It's a turd of a bike but won't die

Before I put the filter on, I pour some oil in the centre of the filter for it to soak up, so it's not a completely empty cavity of air to go back into the engine
