Oil Filter 13 Ft Lbs. use thin layer of oil on rubber gasket of filter. Drain Bolt 21 Ft Lbs. use new crush washer. Recheck oil level after starting as oil filter is empty. Never check oil on pit or center stand. (Note: Oil filter hand or just beyond hand tight and drain bolt snugged up works just fine) BTW-excellent video!!
Hi, Beautiful bike! Great maintenance,I hope you don’t mind me asking a few questions. Did you have the chance to see the Z900 Special Edition? If so, what did you think of it? Thank you.
@@creed426 I have seen it but haven't ridden it. If it's better than the standard bike then it must be really good because I have very little negative to say about mine.
Those are kind words. I only addressed the 4 main aspects: air filter, oil filter, plugs and oil. I'll be making a follow up video for the other inspection and adjustment points to cover on a regular inspection service
Bel lavoro grazie della condivisione! Domattina cambierò l’olio e il filtro olio. Sono a 10.500km. Filtro aria e candele aspetterò almeno 20.000/25.000 km ma lo farò fare in officina: troppo complesso! Bravo 👍
Thanks for making this video. I noticed that at 16.08 you can see a scrubbing point on the black pipe you are holding, which could become a hole at some stage. Not sure if you should be concerned, but at least you can keep an eye on it. Cheers
@@JeffreyEiler it is indeed a great motorcycle. I bought it without ever having ridden one. I watched a few RU-vid reviews and was persuaded that it's a great bike. I wasn't disappointed!
Hi, thank you for sharing this. Does your bike have the standard air/fuel tuning or did you remap the ECU? 5000 km ago I did the fuel remap and now I'm curious to see how different is the colouring of my spark plugs compared to the stock tuning.
Like many jobs, having the right tools is key to making the task as easy as possible. I found the most difficult part was getting the spark plugs out, until I got the right adaptor.
I’d put a clean cloth over those intakes while working to avoid any possible foreign object contamination into engine. Also very careful of open spark plug holes.🕳️🕳️🕳️🕳️
Basically if she’s running well in clean type roads not dusty off road you can go without air filter and plug change. Oil is super easy change out and well worth doing realistically once per year with top quality synthetic 10-40 oil and filter. Same with glykol ~ wasser coolant.
@@DerekHerbst747agreed friend I was only trying to be helpful not at all judging. It’s actually fun to service machines if the right mindset is undertaken. Safe motoring 😊.
Very interesting. 👍👍. At under 10,000 miles that's quite early to change spark plugs and air filter. To be honest, that air filter didn't look bad, just surface dirt but when you flipped through the filter the inner paper looked clean. The electrodes on even the new spark plugs looked very thin. 🤷🏼♂️. Anyway, better safe than sorry.
in only 15k km there is absolutely no sense to check or replace spark plugs as well as that air filter. You could do it in 50k km but modern iridium plugs lasts till, 100k km easily.
It can be done but NGK recommend against it due to the brittle nature of the metals used, especially the inner electrode. The old ones on my bike were also a bit pitted, which is a good sign that it's time to replace them.
