I've heard that it's good for those new plates to leave them for 24 h in Moto Oil before putting them in. What do you think about this?

Great video. I noticed that when the cover finally went on, you had the pull lever on there, then the next shot it is off. Did you skip explaining something there? I have a DS650 ATV that uses this same engine/gearbox. I have broken two of the clutch lever shafts trying to gently install them. The gears themself are chipping off with little to no effort. Hoping you might have a tip or two.

Just wanted to make a comment about how much oil the bike actually requires. You need to remember that if you are removing your old filter and starting with a new filter that new filter is going to absorb and fill up with a substantial amount of oil. So you should start the engine let it run for a minute or two and then check your oil level. I believe this guy forgot to mention that information

It's better to use a breaker bar, rather than the socket wrench, that way you don't put too much stress on the wrench mechanism.

Very detailed and useful video! Thanks! Just one thing: The choice of the oil depends on the avaiability, depending on the brand used, synthetic can be a good option, mineral oil of a bad brand does more damage than any other, synthetic or semi-synthetic. I use a semi-sinthetic that costs 18 euros per Liter, around 23 dollars, to give you a comparison.
@clearskiesahead3 жыл бұрын
That's an expensive oil. The Castrol I use works out at about €12.50 per litre. I used to use the mineral version, but that is hard to come by lately, so I've started using the semi-synthetic.

I can never tell where my oil level is. No matter how I attempt to pull out the stick, I can never see a definitive line of oil, it just always looks covered. I wish the F800ST had a window like the 1200 bikes usually do. Are there any tips to actually see a line of oil on the dip stick?
@clearskiesahead4 жыл бұрын
I know what you mean, it can be difficult to see the oil mark especially when the oil is clean or the engine is still warm, as well as the brand and viscosity of the oil you use. All I can advise is to insert and remove the stick slowly when cold and have the bike on its main stand. If you're not using Castrol Power 1, I would suggest you try it. I hate endorsing big companies for free, but it definitely makes a difference to gearbox smoothness and it is a mineral oil as stipulated in the fluid specifications. Hope this helps.

@CoryRoy Жыл бұрын
I'm pretty certain that airboxes are matched to the engine and it won't run well without it. There are some bikes with a trunk where you'd expect a traditional tank to be but they'll still have an airbox somewhere.
