Too many oil change videos don't provide all the necessary details, so here's one that does!
AMAZON HAS KAWASAKI OIL CHANGE KITS FOR LESS $$$!
Kawasaki Vulcan S Performance Oil Change Kit: amzn.to/3dhFTuH
Kawasaki Vulcan S Full Synthetic Oil Change Kit: amzn.to/3rNtYc2
Bikemaster 65-14 Motorcycle Oil Filter Wrench (fits Vulcan S): amzn.to/3qqhuq8
ORIGINAL BIKE SPIRITS Spray Cleaner and polish is the best I've ever used. Get it from Amazon for much less $$$: Original Bike & Spirits (14 oz can): amzn.to/3pLbw39
** FIVE MUST-HAVE MOTORCYCLE ACCESSORIES FOR UNDER $10. ** I own and use all of the items below.
Battery Tender (Single) USB Charger Adapter: amzn.to/3aDzqXK
Mroinge (Dual port) USB Charter Adapter: amzn.to/36HpWtv
KiWAV Motorcycle Kickstand Puck (small) - amzn.to/3rpJ5Z0

Change your Kawasaki 2015- 2020 (all models) Vulcan S 650 motorcycle's oil and save money. It's fairly easy and takes about 25 minutes assuming you have all the proper tools. Have fun!
WHAT YOU NEED TO PROPERLY CHANGE THE OIL ON YOUR KAWASAKI VULCAN S 650:
OIL: Any good quality SAE 10w-40 or SAE 20w-50 4-stroke motorcycle oil
OIL FILTER: P/N 16097 0008 (check your owner's manual or Google your bike's specs)
OIL FILTER WRENCH: Size 65/14
OIL FILTER TORQUE: 17.5 N-m, 1.78 kgf-m, or 12.9 ft-lb
OIL DRAIN BOLT: 17mm
OIL DRAIN BOLT TORQUE: 30 N-m, 3.1 kgf-m, or 22.0 ft.lb
TOOLS REQUIRED:
1. 17mm socket and driver, or wrench
2. 65/14 oil filter wrench and driver
3. Small funnel
4. Small pliers
5. Clean soft cloth
6. Oil pan
7. Oil disposal container
COSTS:
1. OIL FILTER: $12.00
2. OIL (2 quarts semi-synthetic) $16.00
TOTAL: $28.00
I used Kawasaki Semi-Synthetic oil but standard grade or Full Synthetic are fine too.

I would first open the filler cap, then drain out the old oil by removing the draining bolt, giving it a better outflow possibility. The rest as shown in the video is just perfect. Thank you.

Thanks, Tripp. Changing your own oil is a way to get to know your bike (or car) better and possibly spot something wrong. Everyone should do it at least once, just for the satisfaction of doing it yourself.

It is worth mentioning that Vulcan S has a parallel-twin engine instead of a V-twin design, and therefore, it has very different control riding characteristics. When I go to very light throttle, it gets a slight vibration/shudder. Not really lugging motor and it will accelerate fine. The Vulcan S simply doesn’t like “light throttle “. It likes to be wound out and shifted around 5000 rpm. I wanted to shift at 2000 rpm and ride at 2500 to 3000 rpm and Vulcan S engine doesn’t like that (shudder and vibrate). I now shift at 4500 to 5000 rpm and cruise around 5000 rpm. It just takes some getting used to (for those who used to ride a V-twin bike).

She is good to go untill 1000 mark, gonna get her tuned up then. :) may be just tiny below msrp but this dude did not even break the chain or engine in so I was willing to pay!

Out of curiosity I bought a motorcycle lift from HB. One that goes underneath the motorcycle and balances the bike on top of it. Can you make a video of how to properly lift the 650s for idiots like me with one? Or do you have a brand rear wheel lift that can reach the rear spokes? I just want to clean my chain and it’s turning out to be more difficult than I expected.

Torque settings especially are extremely important, they are given by the manufacturer for a reason and to ignore them is asking for trouble. Crush washers are so named because that is exactly what they are designed to do. They cost very little and should always be changed otherwise you will have to exceed the torque setting to obtain a good seal, causing damage to threads. Apart from that it is a good instructional video, but if you are going to be a DIY mechanic please do it properly - your life may depend on it one day.

Torque settings I totally agree with you, crush washers are really the copper ones that do crush slightly and need to be changed each time, the aluminium ones seal ok at the correct torque so long as they are not deformed in any way including scoring.

Nicely detailed...BUT! Open the fill port before opening the drain plug...itll drain faster. Filters should be hand tight and a quarter turn(ish) so that wrench is overkill and takes longer than needed. Didn't notice the specifics on that oil, but if you truly love your bike and want it to get the best, amsoil has probably the best synthetic oil you can buy. If you don't want the most expensive, any full synthetic will be far superior to conventional oil.

Very clear and easy to follow video and explanation. I just did my first (1,000 mile) oil change on my new 2020 Vulcan S. I used fully synthetic oil, 10W 40 so I can ride about 7,000 additional miles before my 2nd oil change?
@trippontwowheels
@trippontwowheels 4 года назад
Hi Rob! Thanks for your kind words and question. Hope you subscribe! Yes, you should be good for 7,000-10,000 miles with full synthetic oil although I wouldn't push it much past the 7K mark as the 650 engine is a smaller, higher revving engine which should cause the oil to break down a bit faster than a larger, lower revving engine would. Congrats on your new bike! You chose well. -Tripp

This is just my opinion: You should get the first oil change done at 600 miles and then change it again for the second time at 1,200 miles. By this time the engine is and should be fully broken in and it is good to use full synthetic oil for the third time oil change.

It is worth mentioning that Vulcan S has a parallel-twin engine instead of a V-twin design, and therefore, it has very different control riding characteristics. When I go to very light throttle, it gets a slight vibration/shudder. Not really lugging motor and it will accelerate fine. The Vulcan S simply doesn’t like “light throttle “. It likes to be wound out and shifted around 5000 rpm. I wanted to shift at 2000 rpm and ride at 2500 to 3000 rpm and Vulcan S engine doesn’t like that (shudder and vibrate). I now shift at 4500 to 5000 rpm and cruise around 5000 rpm. It just takes some getting used to (for those who used to ride a V-twin bike).

You don't need to warm up the engine! When you shut the motor off the last time, all the hot oil drained to the bottom of the engine.Put as much oil in the new filter as you can without making to much of a mess to get instant oil pressure when starting.
@trippontwowheels
@trippontwowheels Год назад
The purpose of warming up the engine is to warm the oil, making it less viscous and allowing it drain faster and more completely.

Sounds like you're getting some good riding time in George! Changing your own oil should not affect the warranty in any way.

@gasman6922
@gasman6922 4 года назад
Just some of my own advise for seasonal equipment and oil selection. Low use just use good quality standard oil, medium use go with semi and high use go for full synthetic. Standard oil is easily good for 6000km, semi can go easily 9000km and synthetic easily 12000km. I have to park my bike every year during winter and ride about 10000km to 11000km per year so I use full synthetic and only do one change a year. Cheers
