I’ve never seen anyone make a video like this. Very well done and very easy to follow. Camera angles were good and I like the text inserts. Nice job.

[@stevebeard4117]

Because the clutch and trans use the same oil, you also have to clean the oil screen.(Not the same as the oil filter)

Just picked up my first bike and want to do an oil change on it before I get riding too much with it, thanks so much for the helpful video!

Congrats on the new bike!! Thanks for watching!!💯 Stay safe out there!👍🏿

[@brandonboyles4413]

Great video. Very easy to follow. One idea to help with the screws. First Loosen them with the socket wrench then remove the socket from the driver handle and use the socket to turn the screw by hand. This helps me when I find hard to reach screw heads. Thanks for the video.

[@TD205]

Thank you!!! I appreciate it!!!👍🏿

That 17mm nut on the oil filter is there for a reason... Also, remove the oil filler plug while draining the oil, goes a lot faster

[@TD205]

Thanks for watching!!

[@bobb74ysmith]

LOL Newb he is, yeah and helps also when you remove the filler cap as well while draining the oil man, air flow get it air flow to completely drain the old oil out, wow. And yes the same 17 mil socket will tighten the oil filter back on. Ok Okay man

[@daniellowell926]

So easy to follow!

K&N has a socket end at top of filter, you can use a ratchet to remove it

Great video dude. I have the custom over here in the UK and I love it. Going to do the oil in the next few weeks and keep my fingers crossed the weather gets warmer. I am going to do my best not to turn the oil filter upside down when full... That put a smile on my face. Everyone does that at least once 😁

Bonjour c'est quoi la dimension du joint de vidange sur la 900 vn classique

[@Peeinurcereal]

Awesome video! The only thing I don’t know what to chose is oil?! Should I use 20W50 or just 10W40? My bike has 13,000 miles (forgot to mention, I just bought the bike recently and I don’t know how long it’s been sitting)

[@TD205]

Thanks for watching!!💯 You can always go by the manual recommendations. I use 10W40 because it's most common and that's what the book says. Best wishes!!👍🏿

[@Peeinurcereal]

Thank you! I’m picking up some Mobile 1 10W40. I just finished fixing the Forks so now I’m just touching up everything then I’m going to start practicing on road. I rode it around my property but I need more space to practice shifting @@TD205

[@TD205]

@@Peeinurcereal You're welcome! Sounds good! That Mobil 1 is good oil. Anything named brand you should be fine. It basically boils down to if you what thicker or thinner oil. Try going to a Public School or Mall Parking lot for space. Be safe out there!!👍🏿

exactly how much oil is poured into the engine? 3l?

You totally skipped over what tool to use to get the oil fill cap off. Showed nothing whatsoever.

I used an oil filter remover I purchased from Advanced Auto Parts. Can be purchased at most auto stores.

@@TD205 I was talking about the chrome cap where you put in the new oil, but I ended up using a quarter with some slip joint pliers lol.
