2003 Yamaha FZS 600 Oil Change - How to

[@elierachid3576]

I really like the video! Nice explaining. Please do more content on this model. Brakes? Changing air filter?

[@motor_mastery]

Thank you. sure, I'll gladly do more content on this bike.

Nice vid, good easy to follow. One point, the engine has the oil capacity below the dipstick.

[@AlphaDango]

At 11:40 you can see a little mark left of the window. No that's not dirt. Your oil should be at that level.

[@deanwilliams3912]

Should be semi synthetic oil

[@motor_mastery]

Why semi. Does it matter if it's mineral, semi syth, or fully syth?

[@adamflynn7322]

im finishing up a full restoration job on a 1998 model

[@motor_mastery]

Nice one. I prefer the older model look rather than the new type like the one in the Vid.

[@adamflynn7322]

Yeah you've a fox eye version only difference is the front fairing really. I do like the older style of the 98-99 models though. The engines are reliable on all fzs though 👍

[@steevieweevie]

It's good to do it at full temp and after a good run. Reason being it dissolves/mixes up all the sediment into the oil and will then come out when you drain it. If not, a lot of the settled sediment will remain

This video should be named: How not to...

[@LazioKa]

Thanks!

[@K.Komninakis]

washer dimensions?

[@davemurphy2020]

Did it never occur to you to clean the bike for the sake of the video if not the bike

[@motor_mastery]

Aye yes, looking back I was a bit of a bellend for not cleaning it. Can't remember why I didn't, it was so long ago.

[@danytheunicorn95]

Followed your steps, stabbed the filter with a screwdriver because it was too tight

[@danytheunicorn95]

All good now

[@motor_mastery]

Great stuff 👍 puncturing the filter to break it loose works pretty good.

[@wattysautos5442]

Ok so everybody do NOT balance your bike up on a piece of wood like that, you will forget when applying force to bolts and boom bikes over 😮

[@motor_mastery]

I would have used the center stand on the bike, but it was banjaxed.

[@wattysautos5442]

Centrestand banjoed - no shortcuts lol fix the stand 1st or at a minimum do the change with the bike on its sidestand instead 👀

[@motor_mastery]

Yeah, you're dead right. should've fixed the center stand first or maybe use a paddock stand. Not the right right protocol. I was extra careful but I won't do it again. It's not worth the chance of the bike falling 😅
