Can a Total NOOB Perform an Oil + Filter Change on a Kawasaki ZZR1400/ZX-14r? 

Thank you so much for leaving this on. I know I should feel guilty but that was one of the funniest things I've seen in ages.

Went through the same thing with the filters on my 636. Now that I have the ZX14R, I use K and N oil filters with 17mm bolt attached to take it off and torque it 15ftlbs. It saves a lot of headaches.

You don't need to take the fairing off, you just need the correct tools. Think you should have left the jug out when filling up 😖 Also background music was really annoying!

This is the most funniest oil change i have ever see😂😂😂

That was painful to watch. Only bright spot is the lovely lady involved! 😂

Next time why don't you remove the fairing to give you better access

Hi Mate, I paused this at 5:11 as it was just too painful to watch. Whacking a screwdriver through the filter is always a last resort. If you don't have the proper filter removal tool. Try a small sheet of rough sandpaper between the filter & your hand/rubber glove. Once you have the filter moving by 1/8th of a turn, you should be able to ditch the sandpaper. But better still, treat yourself to a filter removal set from Fleabay etc. A set containing somewhere in the region of 20 different cups that fit over the end of the filter & grip the flats. Is only approx £20 inc delivery. All you need in addition is a 3/8ths drive which you already have. Another top tip to aid oil drainage is to remove the filler cap. I'll finish watching the video now & hope for a happy ending 🙂

and wheels need to be on the floor to check the level

wow this was painful to watch

The washers can be used again if they aren't damaged, if they are copper they can be re-annealed. Filter should be hand tight plus a bit 😉, and buy a jug with a spout attached which is made for oil changes 👍

and remember top of the site glass to stop oil starvation

A center stand would help a lot.

My goodness that was painful to watch An oil jug with a flexible concertina pipe spout can be bought for a few quid As can an oil filter strap removal tool I think the Exon Valdez dropped less oil

Funny story😄! Good thing is that You have always very good assistance and this way all that You are doing will have good results. And that is the most important! Greetings from Finland from Indian RM/zzr1400 owner!

Definitely need a oil filter wrench cheap but valuable investment

How much is a new crush washer in the UK???

Haha I think I recognize that driveway, I’m probably 6 minutes away from u lol, also great video 🙂

This was funny! Please, buy a Oil Filter Swivel Wrench (a special tool for filter remove), so this will save you so much time and nerves! And why did you need this jug but not to pour directly from the bottle to the funnel? Just wanted to come and help you because you drive specifically my dream-bike! Drive safe!

Uuuuh, why do an oil filter change without the tools? You clearly need an oil change kit, and you could also really use a Skylift if you want to do more…although oil changes would be a lot easier too.

Check his other vid where he drills a hole in the sprocket seal to save buying a scott oiler

Yes a Noob can change oil but can he make a proper video?

Cant watch it

Screwdriver 🪛

There is nothing worse than dealing with an oil filter being put on by some half wit dolt that is way way to tight. These are also the idiots that don't put oil on the ring. I had an oil change when getting some maintenance done and when it came time to take the filter off I brook my oil filter wrench! The only thing you forgot is to put some oil into the filter before attaching it.

I use K&N oil filters, they have a hex head for easy installation and removal.

Turn off that bloody awful music

Screw driver bud

Well, I guess this is the best he can do by the way is this really the best she can do SMH

Oil and filter is REAL easy on these, if you have right tools. You'll never get oil filter off by hand with all the heating and cooling cycles. Get yourself right sized cup to undo and if that won't get it off wrap some insulation tape around it coupla wraps tap cup back on again try again. Then if still not undoing try chain wrench type. Screwdriver and hammer really IS last resort. If you want to make an even better video that'll be 4-5 hrs long do one of trying to change spark plugs !!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂 need loadsa fancy adaptors and patience for that one 🤔🙄😟☹
