In this video I show you how to change the gear oil out in your Yamaha Roadstar Warrior. This video will also be the same process for most Yamaha Roadstar motorcycles. Redline MT-90 Gear Oil- amzn.to/2TbU0ZF
Hey, thanks for watching and commenting! Glad you were able to find a place to get your fill of Warrior vids! Hopefully some of them helped out. Video tomorrow will be talking about how you can will that left side clean up kit, so be sure to watch! Thanks again, stay safe out there brother!
Thanks Bryan! The video was on point as usual 🔥🔥🔥. I had the hardest time trying to get the oil fill cap off even though I tried with a washer, screw driver and everything else I could think of. What worked was a tool called a "carbon gasket scraper" I got it from AutoZone and had to file down the corners a bit and the end to get rid of the edge, but now it's perfect. Thanks again!
I appreciate the fact you sharing your insights to the "Warrior" community. I just purchased a 2006 a week ago and you've been a great help...It speaks Volume of the type individual you are. Thank you very kindly sir. Bradenton, FL 💯🤘
One of my favorite politicians is from Vermont, but I try not to get too much into politics on here. Always end up alienating about half of the people. 🤣 I appreciate you watching and commenting, hopefully the videos have been able to help out a little. Stay safe and healthy out there brother!
Ever since I got my warrior i have been following you and taking advantage of all of your videos. Without youI don't know where I would be. I'M IN MIAMI, FL.
Thanks for watching and commenting! I have been to upstate New York, but would love to see the city. Think you'd have to live there a while to be able to actually see everything. Would also love to hear about five Warriors riding down the street with the exhausts echoing off some of those high rise buildings. Thanks again for sharing where you're from. Hope you're close to getting your riding season started. Stay safe out there!
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the compliment. Hope your Warrior is getting some good rides in. Mine will be in the road by the end of the week and I can't wait. Thanks again, stay safe out there!
Ray Hicks , Naples, Florida - every time I do something to my Warrior other than changing oil I check out one of your videos on the subject . THANKS ! Brian
Washington state here. Your videos are great and reassuring I’m on the right track of my mechanical abilities with my warrior. And helping me keep up on maintenance on the bike. Great tricks you mention in the video to help. Like using the washer. Great idea. And great information.
Thanks! I appreciate the compliment. Welcome to the family! Be sure to join the forum and Facebook groups. Tons on info and knowledge. Stay safe brother!
@@donniehallaman7685 I still love it. It's such a good reliable high performance bike. It's totally worth it to me and I plan on keeping it another year.
@@AG-33- sweet glad to hear it I have owned one 9f my two for about 8 years or so 8t got stolen so I bought another one then 14 months after I bought the 2nd one the cops found it while I was starting to mod my new one lol check out my ig donniehallaman@ig you can see pics of both bikes
@@AG-33- honestly my gf and I were just talking about this, if I had like 50gs to buy a bike there really 8snt one I would pick over my warriors, there is a bunch that I would own in addition to but not instead of. Plus I just bough patrick racing pistons Ivan's reflash Dyna coils bak exhaust etc
From Fort Lauderdale. I have an 05 Warrior with just over 10k miles. I'd like to change my fuel filter and thought that might be a good clip to make . And thanks for your vids, they're great
Hey, thanks for watching and commenting. Trying to talk the wife into moving to Florida. Want to be able to ride year around. She wants Montana...... Think we have two different ideas of the weather we are looking for. That's what happens when I'm from California and she is from Wisconsin. 🤣 as for the filter, can I ask why you're wanting to change it? The filter for these bikes is located in the reserve tank and has no scheduled maintenance. Supposed to last the life of the bike. Sometimes, they may foul up though and need to be replaced. Definitely a video that would be great to have though either way. I appreciate the idea, and will have to check into it and see if I can make something happen. Thanks again for watching and commenting brother. Stay safe out there and get some rides in for me too, my riding season is close to finished.
Another from Australia. Got a '99 Roadstar. One dealer not long after I bought the bike drained all the oil out but didn't realise that one drain plug was the transfer case. Xfer case disintegrated soon after. Had it all rebuilt at dealer expense. Another dealer didn't know about the transfer case until I warned him. Doing it myself this time.
You make it look so easy. I guess it is if you know what you are doing. Thanks for this essential information. Notice the color of the Old Oil compared to the New Oil that came out the weep hole. Old was yellow - new was clear. Very nice.
I don't know that the previous owner had changed it in a while. I appreciate the compliment! Definitely one of those magic of video things. Only way to watch a ten minute video and have the oil completely done. The whole process took well over an hour, especially after purposely over filling it. Always glad when they can help people out.
Thanks for watching and telling where you're from. Always enjoy it when people around the world watch and comment. Like knowing that my videos are seen far away. Hope the video was able to help out! Thanks again! Stay safe brother!
Oh interesting, my bikes creeping up to 13k im still riding in the cold ass weather because I have no car atm. This is a great video and very informative, watching from Pittsburgh PA
I used to be a lot more hard core and would try and ride most of the year. I'm too old for it anymore though! It was nine degrees here this morning and riding to work in that soinds like a bad time. Hope this winter hasn't been too bad for you and you've been able to get a few warm rides in at least. Think I heard a storm is coming next week though to your area that is supposed to bring bitter cold temps. Hope you get lucky and it misses you. Thanks again for commenting on the video, I appreciate it. Stay safe!
No problem Alex, as always, thanks for watching bud. Also appreciate the comment. Hope that Texas is having a mild winter this year. It was nine degrees this morning when I went to work. So ready for spring to get here so I can get this bike back out!
Hi Bryan I live in the UK & watch your videos regular. I intend to fit a cobra fuel management system,big air kit & replace plugs all together in the near future so its good to see what problems I may run into. Thanks for the vids.
No problem! Thanks for watching them. Hopefully they're able to help out when you comes to doing those mods. If you run into any problems, feel free to comment and I'll try and help out as quick as I can. May take some time, but I usually always respond. Thanks again for watching, stay safe brother!
Good stuff man! From duncan Oklahoma, and I've got an '07 warrior. I've been watching these to see what work I'm gonna have to do to mine since I just got it.
Hey Nathan, thanks for watching and commenting! My cousin, who is like my brother, lived in Henderson for a while. Vegas would get me in too much trouble if I lived there. Last time, I tried to climb the Luxor. Much alcohol involved in that story. Haha thanks again for watching! Hope it's been a mild winter and you're getting some good rides in.
Wife and her family are from Milwaukee. Too cold for too long for my blood. Thanks for watching and commenting brother. Hope you and yours are staying safe and healthy.
Watching from the Philippines. Great channel for Warrior owners! Thank you so much for taking the time to provide all this info. Just subscribed. Own a 2002 Warrior that I bought new in '02. Unfortunately military duty and overseas work has kept the bike in storage for the most part of the last 12 years. Going back home to Northern Arkansas when this virus travel ban will allow. I will be replacing fuel line and filters, cleaning out the rusty tank, changing all fluids, spark plugs and battery. What else would you recommend that I do to get the Warrior back on the road? Already planning on the left side clean up and replacing air filters with K&N stock filters. Other mods will follow as budget allows but now I just want to ride again.
Excellent vid Bryan. Robb in Pennsylvania. Some constructive criticism brother. Next time maybe dont cover the the camera from recording the actual fill, a noob like me likes to see it fill and watch it overfill. Other than that, again, excellent video. Keep up the great work.
Hey Robb, thanks man! Love getting the criticism. No way of getting better if you're not told what you're doing wrong. I will do have to keep that in mind for future videos and try and be more conscious of camera angles. Hope this storm we got in the Midwest has missed you guys in the northeast, and I hope that this winter has been mild enough for you to get some rides in. Thanks again Robb, and always feel free to let me know of any other ideas you have. Stay safe!
Thanks for watching and commenting! Hope the video was able to help out. Hope you're still getting some good rides in. Grew up in Colton CA, but now have to deal with the winters in Missouri. Thanks again, stay safe out there brother!
No problem! Glad they get some use! I always said I could never live in Washington state. Way too much rain for me. Hope you get to get some decent rides in dodging those drops though. Stay safe out there and thanks again!
Hey Kelly, thanks for watching and commenting! I've only driven through Idaho myself, seemed like a beautiful place though. Hope you're getting some good winters rides in this year. Thanks again for watching the video and letting me know where you're from, I really appreciate it!
Hey Adam, thanks for watching and commenting brother. Hope the video was able to help out. Think I have another guy named Ajay that rides a Warrior in Albuquerque, or around that area as well. If you ever see a midnight tearing up the streets, could be him. Thanks again, stay safe out there brother!
Thanks for subscribing! You must have a very short riding season up there. Has we are lucky enough to be able to ride from about match through October pretty decently, and even a few times through the winter. What does your season run?
You've got more dedication than I do! I don't ride if it's below fifty. 🤣 I used to bundle up, but not in the last few years, unless I'm testing a winter mod.
Hey Iron Warrior, thanks for commenting! You're now the second guy from the UK, so it seems like I am doing well between the states and the UK so far. Like I told them, I hope my accent isn't too hard to understand. Thanks again for commenting and letting me know where you're from and watching my videos!
Hey Andrew, thanks for watching and commenting! Hope the video was able to help. Also hope the weather in Kentucky has been good this year and your bike is getting some good rides in. Thanks again, and stay safe brother!
Definitely! Super quick and easy. Worst part was taking the time to let it all drain out. Hope that freak snow storm left the area and you're back to riding again. Thanks for watching and commenting Ajay!
@@RSWarriorBryan yup..back to riding..Thank you, let me ask you something.. Met a guy with a 06 Warrior, he said when he does like 80 mph the bike sputters. You ever heard of that before? Solution have you?
@@RSWarriorBryan hey Brian, I just did the gear oil change as per your instructional video, here is a dumb question do I hold the bike level while the new oil drains out of the weep hole? Or while it's leaning on its kickstand...I held it level.
Your instincts are always spot on man. I just propped a block under the kickstand to hold it level while it drained out. It took about thirty minutes because I had pumped so much extra in to make sure the video showed it drain. Hope yours didn't take that long while you held it.
@@RSWarriorBryan Bryan, the srew that goes into my pipe to hold the baffle in place keeps dissappearing, and advice to keep that bastard in place? If it wasnt for the end cap screw the pipe would have spit the baffle right out!
Thanks! I hope that they're able to help some people out with their bikes, and save them some money. Hope you're getting ready to get some good rides this spring in Stockholm! Stay safe out there!
Hey Rob, thanks for watching! Would love to live down in Florida and get some more winter riding in than I get to. I've gotten too old and don't break it out if it's under fifty degrees. Thanks again, stay safe brother!
Love that the video is watched that far away! I hope it was able to help out. Hope you're getting some good rides in. Thanks for watching and commenting brother!
Hey Kyle, thanks for watching and commenting! Are you a year around rider? I am not lucky enough to live where it's nice enough to ride all year, and way too scared to brave the cold. 🤣 I get to ride from about April through September, and can squeeze a few rides in on days nice through the rest of the year. When I think of Canada, I think of cold though. What months is the riding season for you? Thanks again for commenting and watching the video. I hope it was able to help out! Stay safe brother!
Hey Jay, thanks for watching and commenting. Glad the video has been able to help. The drain bolt is 13 ft/ lbs and the checking bolt is 5.8 ft/lbs. Hope that helps as well. Thanks again for watching and subs. Hope I have a few more videos that can be useful as well. Stay safe brother!
Thanks for watching and commenting! Ever make it out to the salt flats and watch them break records? That would be a pretty cool experience. Hope the video was able to help. Stay safe brother!
Thank for watching and commenting! Bet you get to ride almost all year around down there. Would love to live somewhere I could do that. Hope the video was able to help out. Stay safe brother!
Hey Joseph, thanks for watching! Where at in California? Not sure if you've seen the video with my brother, that's where I spent my childhood. Was born in Montclair, but grew up in Colton. Wish I had the weather out there for sure, nothing like riding most of the year. Thanks again for commenting and letting me know where you're from. Stay safe out there!
@@RSWarriorBryan I'm from the riverside area but I work in Pomona so I'm out in the Colton area all the time. Thanks for the reply you have sum grate tips on how and what to do. I just got a 2003 Yamaha Warrior all custom and plan on doing all my own work.
Welcome to the family! You're gonna love the Warrior. I still smile when I hear it start, even though I owned my first one almost five years ago. They're awesome bikes. Glad that the videos are able to help!
Hi Bryan, i went out to start the warrior today and petrol started pumping petrol out the r/h side of the carb. It looks like a breather outlet but no pipe, whats going on ?
Thanks for watching and commenting! I'm trying to convince my wife that southern Arkansas would be a good place to move to. 🤣 seems like the weather would be a little better for riding longer in the year. That or Florida, but she is against that idea. Guess we will see what happens. Thanks again! Stay safe brother
Hey Patrick, Thanks for watching and letting me know where you're from. Being right off the lake is probably nice in the summer, but gotta hate that lake effect snow in the winter, along with that short riding season. My brother in law was stationed at Fort Drum, and I remember them talking about all the snow. Thanks again, hope the video helped!
Ciao mi chiamo francesco ed ho una worrior 1700 . Volevo chiedervi perché mi ci va meno olio previsto dal manuale.se metto l'olio a livello me lo butta fuori.al max entra circa 200cl di olio mentre dovrebbe andarcene 300cl. Mi farebbe piacere sapere perché? Auguri e buon Natale
Nice!! My wife always says she ways to move there, but I think she just watches too much Outlander. 🤣 beautiful country for sure though! Thanks for watching and commenting brother. Hope you and yours are staying safe and healthy!
Awesome! As cold as it is up that way, you either don't have much or a riding season, or you are hard core and ride in colder weather than I do! I cut it off at about fifty degrees. My sister's husband was stationed in Fort Drum New York and they got massive amounts of snow and what seemed like three months of decent weather. Thanks for watching and commenting Jason!
Very nice! Was wondering how long it was going to take for someone from the states to actually comment. Drove through Texas once and I swear it took a week! Biggest state ever! Thanks for watching the video and letting me know where you're from. Hope you're having warm enough weather to getbrides in this winter.
Awesome! Trying to get my wife to move somewhere where I can ride closer to all year. Told her Texas, but she is very against how hot it gets there. 🤣 thanks for commenting and letting me know where you're from brother!
Nice! Originally from Colton CA myself. Much closer to year round riding there. Always love the food and mountains when I come back to visit. Thanks for watching and commenting on the video. I hope it was able to help out. Stay safe brother!
Every make it to the salt flats to watch them break speed records? I think that would be awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope the video was able to help out. Stay safe!
@@RSWarriorBryan I haven't personally been yet. I think it would be cool to go experience in person atleast once though, I've heard it's pretty slow going in person and it's hard to see a lot of what's going on anywhere other than in the starting area. Something else I want to slide out and go see while im in this area one year is the Reno air races.
