Thanks George!! Your comment got pinned!!

[@paulbuttner6808]

I am a new Ryker rider, but have been riding motorcycles for over 35 years. Thank you Beth, this is great information. The dealer charges are very high for this service and I was looking to doing this oil change myself. Love your step by step videos. Please keep them coming.

[@RykerRydes]

Thank you so much! So happy I could help.

[@chapiangel]

Thanks again! Just changed my oil at 3650! Very helpful. I didnt jack it up, just drove up on 2x4s and hand enough room to get under and complete the job.

[@RykerRydes]

That is awesome!!! Great job!

[@awatukee7]

Thank you so much, Beth & Jason. I just completed my very first oil & oil filter change...it took close to 2 hours due to looking for right size of tools but I know that it will be done in 30 minutes next time. Thanks again for very detailed video.👍

[@RykerRydes]

Thanks Victor! I love a good challenge!

[@kevinperry368]

Good job. Changing your own oil can be a right of passage for the new rider. It allows you to get more familiar with your bike by seeing and touching parts that you normally wouldn't. For me, it provides a deeper feeling of ownership and oneness with your ride. Unfortunately I get to pay full price for all my service needs at my local dealership because of my physical limitations. One helpful hint my father passed on to me is using a cheap plastic drop cloth (5 for $5 at lowes) to cover the area under your pan and Ryker. That'll keep you from getting those errant oil drips from used gloves, drain plugs, and splashes from the drain pan on the driveway or garage floor. Another great video. Thanks

[@RykerRydes]

Hi Kevin!!! That was written so well and perfectly captures how I felt changing the oil. It is definitely a feeling of oneness with the bike. Well said! Your dad was a smart man! I put a garbage bag down, but clearly wasn't enough. Had to run out and buy the sand to clean up my oil spills. It worked great and I now have 10 lbs of it!! lol I wish you lived closer, I would gladly change your oil for you. Now that I have done it, the next time will be a breeze...especially if I am not recording and talking my way through it! Stay well my friend!

[@tedraymundo9283]

Good job! FYI: I do believe that when you're changing the oil filter - push the new filter into the cover and then place both back in. This way the filter is aligned with no problem. I hope I explained that right. Cheers!

Just fyi, always inspect your mag plug for dissimilar metals, check the bottom of the drained oil pan and inspect your used oil filter by scanning between the filter luivers. Just a good indicator of your internal engine health and only takes a second. Enjoyed the video

Great tip and very important to do. Thank you for posting.

Great video. I do have one suggestion (only because you have a beautiful brick driveway). Lay a big piece of cardboard down under the front end to catch the drips from the drain plugs, etc. Big enough to set you oil drain pan and oily tools, drain bolts, etc. so your driveway brick don't get oil stained.

Awesome idea!! Thank you so much for watching!

The jacks look a little shaky. Tell Jason to buy ramps or make a Ryker oil change pit. Wouldn’t want to lose a gem of a wife like Beth. Excellent video and audio quality.

Hi there! Honestly, I don’t torque. I just make sure it’s on there good and tight. BE SURE TO HAND TIGHTEN EVERYTHING FIRST. Don’t force any bolts in. You don’t want to strip anything. You got this!!!

Don't know if those are the steps recommended in the owners manual, but it would probably be more efficient to pull the oil filter cover before draining the system. Thanks for the video and tips.

[@RykerRydes]

It was a little while ago since I made this video, but Ido try to follow the owner's manual as closely as I can. I appreciate you watching.

[@tomisham9900]

You want to drive for at least 10 miles to properly warm up your bike, do not let it sit and run because it will create moisture in the oil. Just FYI never run you bike or go for a ride that is less than 10 miles because of the moisture. Great video

[@spgranorthiam123]

what part did fido play? make sure you don't over fill with oil, allow for the filter to fill with oil once the engine, as when it fill s, the oil level will drop, thanks great video,

[@juddpalmer5445]

It has a separate oil in on the other side. That funnel is also for the gas tank for when you use a canister.

[@RykerRydes]

Yes, the funnel can be used for both. Good observation.

[@ROTAX1]

Amazing that a dealer would charge you $300 to change your oil, that’s a rip off for a no brainer project. A quick tip for you Beth... there are two kinds of torque wrenches foot pounds and inch pounds. You certainly want to be sure you are Torquing with the right tools, using a foot pound wrench on a inch pound fastener will surely strip it out. Also it is a good idea to put your drain plugs in first and then after you install the new filter in the filter reservoir to carefully fill the reservoir with the filter in, the filter will slowly absorb the oil and the level will drop so you continue filling the reservoir a little at a time until the level stops dropping. Then install the Oil filter cap. When you do this your engine is not starving for oil on the initial start up until the oil pump fills up The filter and filter reservoir and the engine oil galleys. (The internal engine oil pipes, if you will.)

[@RykerRydes]

Thank you DS, your comment is extremely useful. Thanks for watching!

[@6431harry]

Thanks Beth for the video! I was wondering how hard it is to change oil and filter. One thing I noticed Can Am has the specs for the Bolts. They had 30 NM or 22lbs ok then 15 NM or 18 lbs. The math doesn't work. I looked it up and it is 11 lbs for 15 NM. I know it doesn;t matter. You seemed very happy or I should almost say giddy, working with your husband. I just picked up my Rally today and yes I'm at work, but tomorrow I took the day off to ride. The first thing I did was to try out the horn. I am still laughing about the no horn situation. Thanks again

[@RykerRydes]

Hi Harry! To be completely honest (as you can probably tell from the video) I have no clue about NM. I basically just tightened everything really well! Yes the horn is a joke. Replacing it, should be the first thing anyone does! SUPER easy! Have fun tomorrow on your new Rally! So exciting! Congratulations!!

[@hastolloy]

One other reason to oil up your O-rings is to keep them binding up between surfaces while tightening which can in some times can cause a leak.

[@RykerRydes]

Great point!! Thank you.

[@C8Z51Scott]

Great video. Love what you do. Just as a precaution: the 2021 Rykers require 2.98 quarts of oil vs 3.5 quarts I 2019 and 2020. There were changes in 2021, such as a larger gas tank (no longer cap less). Just make sure to check the owners manual.

[@RykerRydes]

Scott, thank you for your comment. But from everything I have read and been told, those are just rumors and not true at all (except the gas tank is no longer cap less). Same size gas tank and same size *engine (same amount of oil). *900 requires more than the 600 If you look on the Can-Am website, it shows only 2 variations of oil change kits: 600 and 900. All models, all years

[@C8Z51Scott]

@@RykerRydes I wish I could show you the owners manual of a 2021 Ryker Rally, but it states 2.98 quarts for 900. Irregardless of what these rumors are out there. People need to make sure they read the owners manual first. I checked the oil after I changed it adding 3 quarts and it was in the middle of the dip stick. PS the ECM is different in 2021 over 2020. I had BLR tuning performed mine and had to wait until he could 2021 based on this per Bill Ramsey. So there a number of differences in the 2021 model. I hope that people check their owners manual before doing items like oil changes. I am not sure why their website does not post the differences. I guess there is a reason not to trust the internet.

[@RykerRydes]

@@C8Z51Scott that is so interesting. I will look into this more. I appreciate your comment.

[@C8Z51Scott]

Also I looked at my manual for the 2021, the 600 requires 2.5 L (2.64qt.- imagine trying to measure that out) and 900 reared 2.8L (2.96 quarts not 2.98quarts as stated above - I used my memory). I bought synthetic oil and they sent me 4 quarts. I sent a photo of the 2021 manual oil change through Facebook. I guess I get to save a quart per oil change for my 2021😎.

As Beth notes in the video, DO NOT CROSS THREAD or OVERTIGHTEN the drain plugs. YOU WILL STRIP YOUR DRAIN PLUGS (like me)! This year i am replacing my oil pan (sump?) because i stripped the small drain plug. I misread the manual torque specs and tightened to ft lbs. Smh 🙄. I was able to drill a new hole, but it started leaking this year. Its a cheap fix if you do it yourself, but the garage charges an arm and a leg

[@RykerRydes]

Ugh. I am so sorry this happened to you. It is easy to do. The pan is such a soft metal.

[@bradleyschroeder1882]

What if I bought my Ryker 2 years ago in it's first year and only rode it about 700 miles? Garaged in winter in unheated garage. Do I need to change my oil due to time or can I wait until I get 5000 miles on it?

[@bradleyschroeder1882]

Should I change my oil for the first time at 200 miles right after the brake in period

[@RykerRydes]

Ahhh the big oil change debate..... my experience: I changed my oil for the first time at 4,000 miles and I now have close to 25,000 miles on her and running great. My manual (2019) states the first oil change should be done at 6,000 miles or 1 year (whichever comes first). I do believe the newer manuals state that the oil should be changed after the break in period. My 2 cents: It can never hurt the bike to do too many oil changes. Is it necessary at 200 miles?...not sure. If you can afford it, or are able to do it yourself, why not do it. The bike does come with a magnetic drain plug that will catch any metal shavings that may come off during the break in period. Bottom line, changing the oil is probably the single best thing you can do for your Ryker. I do it once a season, if it needs it or not.

[@EJ42955]

You said, check the oil level WHILE running? Is that right? Shouldn't it be, after running, to fill oil filter reservoir. Then, let sit, so all oil in top end can drain down into 'pan'?

[@RykerRydes]

Bill Ramseyer Jr just put out a video on the correct way to check the oil. It’s weird because of the sump pump.

Old vid but a suggestion is once you have your drain plugs out walk away for anwhere from 15 minutes to a half hour. Give it plenty of time to drain.

[@RykerRydes]

Great tip!!!

[@gerardoconnor8425]

Keeps it from drying out

[@raulrecinos563]

What if you forget to take out the 2nd drain plug? Does all the oild still come out?

[@RykerRydes]

I really don't think so. If you watch my video, you will see how much more comes out with the second plug. Maybe if you tilted the bike it would all come out?

[@derekm6236]

Frequent oil changes are the best & cheapest maintenance for any motor. Personally I'd aim at 3000 miles for any motorcycle , regardless of manufacturures claims & then change filter at alternate oil changes.

[@RykerRydes]

I couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching.

[@ellbertdinoy]

So there’s two air filter? There’s also one on the left

[@RykerRydes]

Yes. Thanks for watching!

[@ortega2424]

Haha. You are a trip. Thanks for the video!

[@RykerRydes]

Thanks Steve (lol), I appreciate you watching!

[@tweezytv281]

I have a 2022 rally with 350 Miles. Being store for winter now. Do I change the oil even though the mileage is so low?

[@RykerRydes]

Yes, change the oil every year, whether it needs it or not. I’d do it at the start of every riding season.

Hi Beth & Jason. I have just brought a 600 Ryker here in Australia, if you don't get your services done by the dealer or registered mechanic, you will void you warranty...! Is this not the same in America...? Tez WA

[@RykerRydes]

Hi Terry in Australia! Congratulations on your purchase!! Great question. If you have an extended warranty with your dealership, they may require you to get your service done there. I do not have the extended warranty, and my can am warranty expired....

[@terrydonnell5862]

Wow, we have a three year factory warranty from BRP in OZ...! How long do you get over in the USA..?

[@playboypl]

qucik question. dealer in Poland says that new Ryker 600 need to habve a oil change,w hen it comes new, after 50 milaes after purchased. is it correct?

[@RykerRydes]

No. The new recommendation is after 500 miles, to remove any contaminants. After that, every 6,000 miles or one year (which ever comes first). All this info is in the manual as well.

[@marcoperez7681]

You forgot Queen on that song too!!👍🏽👍🏽

[@RykerRydes]

Lol!

[@gerardovazquez2367]

I need one

[@dandan5485]

I did my first oil change on my rally, I put in the 3 quarts first and it read over the max fill by about a 1/4 inch. Any ideas why? It was a pain siphoning off the oil. I started it up and it was running like garbage. Knocking in the engine. I let it sit for a few hours. Checked the oil, it read between min and max. Warmed it up to operating level. Absolutely no oil on the dip stick. Let it sit overnight. Still no oil on the stick. Put more oil in to between min and max. Started it up. No more knocking, it was running and sounding fine. Anyone have any ideas as to how this could happen? It was soo odd.

[@RykerRydes]

There is a VERY SPECIFIC way to check the oil level. After the bike is warmed up, and you turned off the engine you have 15 s to check the oil before it is sucked back into the bike (which will give the illusion, when you pull your dipstick, that it has zero oil in it)

[@saimon1409]

Ahoj. Super video! Taky si chci koupit Cam Am Ryker :-

[@RykerRydes]

Ahoj!! Děkuji za sledování! Czech...how cool!

[@hamidabdanan7795]

How often should we change the oil after the first 6000 miles?

[@RykerRydes]

Every 12 months or 12,000 miles. Which ever comes first.

[@onurbloureiro4744]

Does the 900cc have a wet clutch? I am getting a Ryker this weekend and I always put Liquid Moly on my vehicles. Have you tried adding some to the Ryker?

[@RykerRydes]

Hi there. The Ryker does not have a clutch. I personally just use can am’s recommend brand of oil. I have never tried Liquid Molly. You may want to call them directly and get their opinion. 1-888-MOLYOIL (665-9645)

[@richardadams5316]

hi. what size of torque wrench did you use. 3/8 1/4 or 1/2 inch? thank you in advance.

[@RykerRydes]

I am going to have to go back and check. Sorry I don't have that info at the moment.

[@rotwiler7674]

Been seeing people use rotella t-6 5w40, anyone have opinion on it. Seems to be better oil than semi synthetic and meets specs. Is also $22 for 5 quart jug, oem filter is $12, just need washers and seal. So you could save over 1/2, or buy 3 jugs $66, 3 pack filters, and get 3 oil changes for price of about 1 kit.

[@benfrank1583]

Don't use the diesel oil. Wasn't made for the foaming that happens at high rpm. I run Pennzoil full synthetic or castrol

[@RykerRydes]

If you’re looking for just the oil filter and washers, I sell them on my website: RykerRydes.com
