2019 zx6r oil change (5th) | 14k miles

[@mf6207]

You can put heavy duty aluminum foil under the oil filter once loosened up to direct the oil to the side of the bike.

[@monochrome5.0]

Yeah I’ve done that one Kinda preferred the cardboard since I have a shit ton around the house

[@stephenmargetjak6989]

or a thick pc cardboard...

[@Dave-ux5bo]

Very helpful video, I’m about to do my first service by myself thanks to you🙏

[@monochrome5.0]

The only hard part was the dam oil filter. It’s on tight but it will come off just have to be a little pissed off and use some force

[@HazelBLAZE247]

been trying to find videos of 2019 zx6r oil changes thank god this is the video and advice i was looking for. my battery died and all our bikes come with a yuasa zxt9 bs . the charger recommended when not riding often is battery tender 800. things u learn when owning a bike

[@diamondheat9]

I understand your struggle with taking off the stock oil filter. On my ninja 300 I pretty much ruined and disfigured the OEM filter trying to take it off. I will only install K&M or any filters with that included removal lug. Oh I also only ever hand tighten my oil filters.

[@monochrome5.0]

Yeah once they build pressure it’s pretty much not coming off

[@miloman812]

Rydatime I’m trying right now... how the fuck do you get it off??? I’ve seen all the videos available on KZbin. I’m about to just take it up to the dealer with the supplies and be like, alright y’all got the tools, just take this filter off for me.

[@GymLeaderJustin10]

Same here on my ninja 650.. the thing was so tight my plier wrench busted the filter and oil started gushing out it was a mess.. I installed a k&m and never going back lol

[@monochrome5.0]

Jake_Ammz17 Super late didn’t notice this comment but you pretty much have to destroy the first oem one. Have to hammer a screw driver into to and turn it or get a two way oil filter tool to kinda crush it

[@monochrome5.0]

Justin Tackett hell yeah I’ll take my chances with a so called filter by k&n failing on me

@@monochrome5.0 hey man, so I wanted to ask about the site glass for the oil level. Where should it be roughly sitting at after its been filled with fresh oil and settled after starting the bike briefly?

[@monochrome5.0]

Most manufacturers recommend in the middle of the two hash marks. Personally I do 3/4 on the Zx6r ,R6 and both my buddies r1 and gsxr1000r. But we all track ride now so it’s been keeping the mind as ease of oil starvation when leaned over for longer periods of time

[@monochrome5.0]

No that bikes been long gone, but not hard to find 🤙🏽

[@yamipizza8357]

Use Factory Torque Specs and NEVER use K&N oil filters. They have been known to fail and explode at the nut part of the filter due to high pressures. They have been banned at most race tracks too.

[@monochrome5.0]

10 high flow filters in on multiple bikes, on the track and still no explosions of oil

Just got my 19 zx6r lookin for front and rear stands were did u get urs how much do u got a link?

[@monochrome5.0]

Some say don’t use full synthetic till after the first 2 service but I went straight to using motul 7100 which is what me and 4 other buddies have been using for over 20 oil changes if you count them from each bike with mine under going 8 of the 20+ And I would normally hang it at 3k miles all the way up to 4K if I didn’t have the time. I swear by that brand (motul 7100 10-40). as for stands I use some cheap amazon ones labeled MOTO-D. BUT IF YOU CAN GET vortex or pit bull stands

every how many miles do you change oil

[@monochrome5.0]

3500 but you can stretch it out to 5k if need too

[@nathandaniel6540]

@@monochrome5.0 if you look in your owners manual it says 8,000

[@monochrome5.0]

Forget what the manual says apon changing the oil it’s multiple times it’s clearly cooked Second even dealers schedule shorter intervals So sure if you want to go 8k by all means do that . But as oil breaks more and more. Overall doesn’t do it any good.

[@robscherer]

How do you like those moto D stands you have?

[@monochrome5.0]

Cheap but get the job done Pretty sturdy. I can sit on the bike while up on both stands

[@ChickenNuggetsAndFries]

Hey man just curious. How do you already have 14 THOUSAND miles on your bike in less than a year? Is this your only form on transportation or do u just enjoy riding it enough to where you get 14 thousand miles in one year? Lol

[@monochrome5.0]

Just sold it feb 17th. And feb15 was marking one year. And hit exactly 25k and some change. The first 6-8k were mainly hwy miles but also went on 5-6 hour hill country runs. Then the rest were hill country runs and to the gym down some twisty back roads. But now it’s time for a new bike in the coming months. For now it’s just dirt bikes

@@monochrome5.0 just curious, how much did you get out of it? 25k miles is usually a hard pass for most people on a supersport. I ask cause I'm planning on buying one, probably a 13-17, in the next month and I'm weighing the new vs. used pros and cons. BTW, 250th sub. Lol

[@monochrome5.0]

Johnny Hustle brotha first and foremost I appreciate the sub I didn’t think id even have more then 50,when I started the channel I plan on using my nicer gear to up the content quality in the near future. Anyways to answer your question I paid 10,037$ cash feb 15 ,2019 and sold it feb 17th,2020 for 5k cash The buyer was amazed how clean it was 9.5/10 For the miles on it. Had proof of all the major service and valve adjustment via video since I did it all. After the test ride he stated ,”not even going to haggle you on the the price”Plus all the goodies and fresh tires. But then again as a seller I wasn’t trying to fuck anyone like the dealers so I didn’t ask 8k just like these oils have and have done in the past. I’d personally go with the new models if you can wait it out and buy cash but if not 16-17 were my next picks due to color scheme for them Not really a fan of straight kawi green No real pro or cons the bikes 13-20 are the same other then the new fairing looks and quick shifter and full led headlights that run on both sides Now if you your a fast rider in the canyons I’d say go new due to most used bikes that need shocks/fork oil serviced as well as other wearable things like brakes tires and chain

[@latedriver9019]

Hey man wanted to let you know to change the oil on schedule, not on some x amount of mileage. e.g., don't change it every 3500 miles. Change it at 7500, 15k, 22.5k, 30k. I suppose that would be 7500 miles apiece, so every 7500 miles change it. Engineers recommend this for a reason. Changing it earlier means you're wasting money, that's it. If you ride track then yeah, I would expect the oil to need changing much earlier. However, even riding aggressive on the street, 3500 miles is too early.

[@monochrome5.0]

I Ride track now but even at 3k oil smelled burnt and felt well used.
