How to Change Motorcycle Oil at RevZilla.com 

RevZilla hey lemmy what oil color should you see to know that it needs to be changed ? Because i bought a 2013 iron 883 and the guy said he did a check up 2 months ago with a harley dealership !

I have a 2012 Nightster. Could you do a video on changing the oil drain tube. Would love to have some extra information on it

Hey Lemmy. Is Maxima pro plus 10w40 is suitable and perfect for Kawasaki Ninja 1000 ?

Haha the exact reasons I like him

why his name tag says liam

That was a major dozen steps when changing my rocker box gaskets....It takes a while for those lifters to bleed down.

Only step 2 though... makes this vid a 9.99/10. Sorry

Hell to the yes on this comment ❤️

Really...lol..haha. He has to be the beast...i mean best..instructor alive!! lol fuckin love him!!

"Lemmy could teach me how to put gas into my bike and I'd still be interested" --- I already DO change my own oil but I wanted to watch more of Lemmy.

Great comment

No lie. Watching Lemmy gives me the confidence to work on my own bike!

***** a jeep for the time being, I live up a gigantic gravel driveway that's in horrible condition with a steep incline. Most riders Can't even get a bike up it.

***** XD forgot i didnt put that in my post, its 2012 Fz6R

Well got some sad news, i sold that FZ6R months ago to a dealership, some kid a few cities south bought it and was hit by a drunk driver shortly after, killing him and totaling the motorcycle. Not something i wanted to hear happening on my first motorcycle.

@@TvMaNightmareHD glad that wasnt you

as a guy who doesn't even own a bike, I simply found this insightful

🙄

Take the Motorcycle Safety Course!!!!!!!!!! and treat it as your 1st feather in your riding Experience It may/will save your life and remember Wear all of your safety gear all the time or at least till you have 20 to 30 thousand miles under your belt that way you can make a much better choice of To Wear or not To wear. :{D

***** Haha, that's the great thing about not doing it live ;) But seriously though. I'm a novice motorcyclist and really keen on learning stuff that I can do by myself. These video's are greatly appreciated. Love from the Netherlands!

***** Don't feel bad, only the .01% pass the Talkasfastaspossibleallthetime 201 course. :D

its an area thing everyone up in the tri state area waves there hands around when they talk. im guilty of it too

Toó much coke?

Looking forward to it! If you could keep them general and not bike specific I'd like that :)

***** That he does! A friend if mine (we are Subaru fanatics) runs a maintenance how-to site at northursalia.com. He uses a scale too....how many pints of blood you'll lose. :-D

Next up, "quaternary"! -DrewZilla

***** I looked into my manual and they say I need a specific tool to get the filter out. I own a Triumph Speed Triple 2011. I didn't had a chance to have a good look into this, but do you think it is necessary?

***** Ohh, I suspect you're not just a pretty face Lenny me ol' flower, and I'm sure I'd really enjoy meeting Mrs Lemmy :) I'm also flattered you know of Yates, I was born only a 10 minute walk for his grandmothers house. Strangely enough she was a complete pain in the arse, hated kids and hated motorcycles as did W.B. - he had a thing about old Ford cars. Anyway - Long story short for anyone reading this, you can NEVER-EVER know everything, there is NEVER a stupid question - ONLY a stupid answer! This is why I'll watch channels like RevZilla - May The Force be with You. I like the direction your going with this simple - but easily do-able and easily, eh - f&%$able stuff. An oil change should be, and is simple, but - without the basics it can too easily get messed up if ye forget - for example the washer as I did on an 'ol 1992 Kawasaki VN800A one time which led to a knackered engine :( Doh!!!! You do not need to be a mechanic to do an oil change, but it's fantastic to get advice from an experienced mechanic on how to do it. More to the point it's seriously cool to see you're doing a public/biker service and not just selling stuff. Lenny, you're the man, you're not a condescending-know-it-all twat like myself, you're the fun teacher i wish I had in school - so teach us more:) Before anyone thinks it, no, I got nothing to do with Revzilla, my business is on the other side of the Atlantic... Every Biker should know the basics and this tutorial is light, friendly. fun and shows there is no mystery to it, but like you showed to an 'ol dog, there are a few tricks still to be learned - as I am sure I could show you how we do it in Ireland - For example we use distilled potato juice instead of oil, it saves on taxes and it makes a Friday night very special as ye can drink it too ;) It's the beauty of the internet - or even better, simply personally connect with your mechanic - simply talking to people instead of treating them like servants and paying them to do sh*it you can easily do your're self is so much more rewarding, all 'ye got to do is pull your ass away from the TV. Anyway, good on ye for a top class tutorial. For me there are a few GOLDEN RULES - Never - EVER save money on tires, brake pads/fluid or oil. If you look after your bike the only thing that sees you in the dirt is stupidity, be it your's or sombody else. You got the engine oil deal done, and Lenny ye did it very well, my kids responded to you better then they do to me. So sit up and pay attention Lenny, people are watching!!!!! I got a bike maintenance/safety/touring thing going on for a multilingual/cultural group in Spain and in Ireland as well as a bike touring thing here in Europe and an online Mag being read in 52 contries. I challenge you to continue to do more tutorials on JUST the basics - tires, brake fluid levels, how to check the pads, I think it would be good for the community in general. I challenge you to make a tutorial on how to make sure a motorcycle is ready for a long distance tour - assuming it's already had an annual or a 10,000km /6000 mile service. No rocket science - just the basics every biker should know, age and experience is irrelevant. I've got 24 years riding bikes. from choppers to BMW GS's, from Norway to Gibraltar, from Galway to Kiev, and the only thing I have learned for sure is that I have more to learn. And every timeI do a motorcycle advanced training course I realise I have somehow forgotten some of the basic sh&t. All bikes are the same on this brother, lets not assume the bike is ready to ride! How should I check the bike is good to go - be it a ride to work, a ride into the mountains, or a full blown ride into bandit country... ?????? Will you and ReviZilla pick up this challenge??? ;) It does not matter what the bike is, Harley, VStrom, R1000R, the basics are still the basics.... From a business point of view, even if you think a tutorial on how to check a set brake pads might be a waste of time the fact is you got a popular channel, and if you only get through to 1 guy you might save a life and gain a customer... :) Just saying ... Your serve Lenny lol - bet ye wished you stayed in bed instead of pissing around with an oil filter on YT lol... denis.smyth@roadtrooper.com

***** Apologies, Lemmy it is, doh!, My eyesight is not what it used to be, especially after a few cold ones and I'm working off a tiny mini laptop right now as I'm on the road in southern Spain.. ;) I run a non-profit online mag dedicated to convincing riders to do more touring and get more from their bikes - www.RoadTrooper.com For the last few years we've been videoing, writing about all the best roads in Europe, Alps, Pyrenees etc and advising other rider on how to get plan a successful tour. From next year we'll "hopefully - visas pending" be doing Russia's Road of Bones then Iceland before endeavoring to find, write about and video the best roads in Canada and the US. Just use my YT ID to see our YT Channel and check out some amazing roads.. We've just completed a 10,000+km trip along the West Coast of Europe from the North of Ireland to Northern Portugal which will be up on the site over the winter. SatNav and Google Maps are available from the download page for those who want to ride our routes, and it's all free of charge 'cos that's the way we roll ;) Anyway, if you upload anymore tutorials, especially along the lines of preparing a bike for a trip, safety checks etc I'll be happy to post it on our site. Safe riding Lemmy..
