Welcome back to the vlog. I am going to show you how to do this yourself and not pay dealership prices for a simple service. First oil change is one of the easiest things to do to your motorcycle with very basic skill and tools.
It's a 5-10 minute job on the z900rs.
Let me know what you guys think and what kind of mods or videos you'd like to see on this or any of my other bikes.

The reason for putting some oil into the filter before fitting it is to allow the oil pressure to build quicker so that the top of the engine is not starved of oil after an oil /filter change. Putting a dry filter on without oil in it will delay the oil pressure build up due to the dry filter absorbing the new oil before the the oil circulates around the engine.

Oil pressure takes mere seconds to build up and there will be a little oil film on essential parts. It’s no big deal and easy to overfill if you do fill the filter. Its best to fill oil. Start and run bike a minute and check levels again.

I have always pre-charged the new oil filter with as much oil as I can get into it without spillage. Is it absolutely necessary, no. Does it hurt anything, no. Will it help the oil to circulate faster, yes. It only makes sense for people that are trying to take care of their equipment the best they can. People will never agree on what oil to use or the specific process…

@billbright1755 9 месяцев назад

Nice work 😊. For me the best motorcycle 🏍️ oil I have found and use is Suzuki R 9000 synthetic. My bikes all purr like kittens and the clutch assembly works to perfection. It truly is great oil.

Get a magnetic drain plug if you don't have one, it wiil pick up small metal paricles.

I've been told not to use synthetic oil for the first oil change. Mineral oil (conventional oil) allows the internal parts to "wear" in or seat themselves. The second oil change you can use synthetic. I'm curious what others think. I have a new 2023 Z900 that's due for its first oil change, thanks

@dorian_vlogs Год назад

I've heard that too but it's hard to believe almost anything nowadays. I say use what you're comfortable with, within reason and if the manual says it's ok, well, it should be fine. I've done both synthetic and conventional. Never had any issues. These machines rev so high that within a few miles, those internals are set. Just my opinion.

@edmalts Год назад

lol 😂. Oil filter turn it until it stops and that’s the manufacturer specifications. I agree with you 😂. 😊

Done. 👇 Thanks for the suggestion. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bO12O7fUhMQ.html

@radiffff 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video. What year is yours? I’m wondering why it takes 3.8 qt. Mine takes 4 qt with filter (that’s what the manual says)

@dorian_vlogs 11 месяцев назад

No problem. Mine is a 2022.

@dorian_vlogs 11 месяцев назад

To be honest though, the measurements are never exact. A few different factors affect oil level so just use good judgement and drop in some oil a bit at a time until it's at the right level.

@larriwithay 8 месяцев назад

Mine also says 4 qt (3.8 L) easy gallon buy for the change. Love the measurements they provide on the bottles though. My ninja took 2L and just used that every time

@dorian_vlogs 8 месяцев назад

Yeah you gotta feel them out and just go by the glass.

the black and silver Cafes are great looking with the brown seat. nice.

@dorian_vlogs Год назад

Thanks, I agree. I waited for the right color. I always wanted one but the bright green wasn't my thing. I almost bought one and the first mod would've been a black paint job.

@keithmcknight1223 Год назад

Had a green ZRX. First mod was black paint with custom red and silver pinstripe. Very sharp.

@dorian_vlogs Год назад

@@keithmcknight1223 that sounds like a good combo. 🤙

@aikidragonpiper71 Год назад

Thank God it has an external screw on oil filter. The only thing I hate about my 2003 Kawasaki ZRX1200R is it has an internal oil filter inside the block and it’s a pain to finagle around the exhaust to get it out and back in. Pain in the a#s

@dorian_vlogs Год назад

For sure. My ducati has an internal filter. It's a pain..

Ive always maintenanced my own bikes but the dealership i bought from gives you lifetime warranty on motor and trans if you have them do all maintenance so I'll take that warranty

@stephenmargetjak6989 Год назад

do you have aftermarket header? I was trying see if cat was still on there...

@dorian_vlogs Год назад

Stock header. No need to replace it and really no real benefit to it. The real gain comes from removing the bread basket shown here. The cat is in there. Hope this answers your question.

@dorian_vlogs Год назад

@Stephen Margetjak it's in the video bud. If you're referring to the cat in the header, no, I did not remove that and there is no check engine light at all. This modification is done after the O2 sensor so it doesn't trip a code.

Good video Dorian, did you see how crazy the intervals are? I think I'm going to do mine every 2500

Thanks bro. I try to keep mine at 3k but no more. 2500 is probably good.

How are they? People always complain about the brakes on this bike but they're not bad in my opinion.

@@dorian_vlogs vesrah? I feel like slightly better than stock, I've never been able to tell the difference between brakes, they sort of feel like EBC hehe, I think the front brakes are awesome, the rear brake is a little better but it's not as good as some others eventually I'm going to put a rigid line between the ABS and caliper, it's kind of an octopus back there

@gtrs4ever Год назад

I tried torquing oil filter per specs, I recommend not doing it. Specs is too tight; hand tighten is just perfect. My bike takes exactly 4 quarts, and yes, I've dropped my bike twice to check the level :( I now sit on the bike and use an inspection mirror that extends to check it.

@dorian_vlogs Год назад

Oh dropping your bike sucks bro. Hand tightening is the right way to go.
