I love how honest he is😂 they recommend replacing the o ring that’s a complete waist of time

[@vegasromaniac]

Haha

@Gus Kasen no one gives a shit

[@dylanhedges5634]

Great vid! I just bought a 2016 yz250fx. I took it for first ride, love it. Giving it a full service next week. Thanks to you I know how to do oil change without missing anything. I already figured the drain and filler bolts, but the extra lil oil filter under motor and bolt in the head showing pressure are great tips, thanks!

[@vegasromaniac]

Awesome, the bike is great you gonna love it

[@matbailey53]

Would this be the same oil filter for the 16’ Yz250F? Thx and awesome video!!

[@coreybaxterredman3506]

I love your videos you have helped me a lot thank you sir 🤘🏻

[@treebutcher2000]

Glad it helped

[@tyleradams6002]

Dude, iv always worried about if iv ran my oil way too long...your video has eased my anxiety...keep doing your thing man...great HONEST videos....keep freaking the trolls out...it makes me laugh pretty damn hard actually

[@vegasromaniac]

Awesome man Tha KS for watching

[@Mackenzie.Grant95]

Awesome video man, I use the same methods as you with my klx 400. I change my oil every 60 hours. I use Castrol conventional motorcycle oil. It cost $5 for a 1 liter bottle. Cheap oil but good oil. I reuse my o-rings like you do, I just check them to make sure they seal and arnt warped or deteriorating. Replace my oil filter every change. My bike has just over 2000 running hours on the hour meter. I've never had to do a thing to it. Follow your owners manual exactly and you wont have an issue. Thanks romaniac! Your bike is looking great

[@vegasromaniac]

You overcharge, wasting oil killing the plannet

[@Mackenzie.Grant95]

Everyone hears about racers changing there oil after every weekend or race and they immediately think they need to do the same. What a waste. I have 2056 running hours on a bike that starts up first click of the button & runs perfect. The motor had never been opened either. People your wasting your money and the oil. Follow your owners manual. BTW, its extremely rare to find anything that actually requires synthetic oil rather then Mineral, how good does the oil need to be for your engine to survive? Marketing poly

[@panic-revv85]

Great vids, keep it up! Hit me up when your in Utah. Were planning a 100m ride. 2 days and fuel at 50. Centeral Utah

[@dans2234]

Currently own a 2005 WRF 250, only changed the oil in it 14 times since owning the bike from new. No issues here 👍

[@vegasromaniac]

How many hours? Total?

[@dans2234]

I always enjoy you..esp.when ur right ..just a bit of common sense goes along way Mr.but in today's world ..we you know..there will always be folks who change oils n pistons..cus it says so.. well if I can afford it ..ok but ..generally I can't so thinking ahead and just being smart about it works ..and has 4 me 4.. 50+ yrs of riding..keep proving them wrong n pissing them off luv it...

[@vegasromaniac]

Thanks for watching man

[@maverick2242]

Good video buddy. This is not a criticism and I did this on DBS channel too, mostly because he doesn’t have a bike long enough to imo be telling people to use any old oil it’s fine. Your case I know you will, but it’s still early days and I am sure you will be fine, but just note this, you have minion but particles on each filter and plug, something I’d wearing inside, regardless how minor, that’s 3 sides of the motor, extra oil eg too much can actually do damage it can cause slugging and foaming of oil. For those that change they’re oil more often good on them I say especially if racing regularly, if you haven’t raced you won’t understand. Stick to your manual sure good advice, but also listen to what your bike is telling you, if it’s doing that every oil change, look,at your oil type, look at your frequency. Very very good tip on your oil filter re the stainless steel over the paper. That impressed me. 🤙 I do the same in my Subis, I run KnN because the anti drain back seals are a silicone over a rubber better life and seal, the seal is key, deal better with extreme heat and cold temps which we have here, plus keeps oil in the filter to prevent a cool or dry start, has a bypass spring vs a stamped steel again just better performance, metal end caps vs cardboard slices and material even number and quality of the pleats uses impregnated, oh impregnated sounds like, lol better for racing and high flow rates and is wire back supports the filter for longer, Wix is also a good option. So with your filter what I notice is the ends caps the please quality the magnet all will be doing a superior job, nice work. I’d maybe look at doing your oil change a bit sooner for longevity of your engine regardless of your manual if your run oil so cheap why risk it. Personally aid run better oil as well as I see signs minor maybe but that’s how issues start especially with these new four-strokes. Btw while you were fluffing with your filters, I’d done mine and gone riding on my 2t 👻 couldn’t resist 🤪🤪

[@vegasromaniac]

Mann, my food got cold by the time I finished testing your message haha, yeah all valid points

[@lucasmonks5767]

Yah buddy

[@vegasromaniac]

Thanks for watching

[@TepcoCycleRepair]

Here's a tip, lean the bike to the left when you pull the filter so you don't spill oil all over it.

[@vegasromaniac]

I've done that before but I forgot.. Haha

[@jasonsteyn449]

When removing and tightening the oil bolts etc, do you use a torque wrench or just tighten it by hand? Thanks

[@vegasromaniac]

By hand, but my hand is calibrated

[@nickchristofora3417]

where did you get the clutch case cover? I think its something worth investing in. Could save you a lot of money on the resell.(How I look to see how many hours are on bike(

[@nunyobizkneez]

how do you clear the debris off the oil filter magnet if its inside the oil filter? q-tip or something?

[@vegasromaniac]

I didn't find nothing in there hut if I would have had some I have a magnetic pick that is stronger Than the magnet inside the filter.

[@husqvarna199]

The oil goes from the outside to the inside and not inside-out, you can check the manual for oil system drawings.

[@vegasromaniac]

Makes sense, easy to clean that way

[@jondoecan]

Where do you send the oil for analysis (to be analyzed)???

[@vegasromaniac]

Blackstone labs I think, I don't remeber I bought the kit on Amazon,

[@tanectanec8566]

i got a buddy who has 500 Cf moto quad 2005, the guy never changed the oil in 15years, just checking if there is enough in it, believe it or not the quad runs fine without any noises, lol, crazy

I have this hard to find neutral problem on my 2019fx.. What about you guys?

[@vegasromaniac]

Clutch cable to short, pull the cable in a bit more that would disengage the clutch plates better, but I do have a hard time finding mine also sometimes, it's the way the gear box it's made, so you don't slide in neutral.. My drz it's as smooth as a baby for neutral even with boots

[@neilizer]

Why is there a magnet inside the oil filter? I thought the oil flows from the outside inwards? So if its catching particles inside the filter than surely the filter is rubbish? Feel free to correct me if im wrong👍

[@vegasromaniac]

Nope oil goes from. Inside to outside

[@neilizer]

@@vegasromaniac Ah fair enough 👍 I know on my bike (ktm 640) it flows through from the outside, I just assume it was always like that as the outside of the filter has more filter surface area.

[@vegasromaniac]

@@neilizer man r u sure thats how it works on your bike? Think about it this way, if it flows from outside than when you remove the filer you need to clean the box because the filter doesn't contain the particles, that a a quarky design from Ktm if that's how it works. Even on cars the oil always comes from inside out

[@joshsrcadventures5297]

My buddy has a CRF450R. When we were riding one day his crank went bad. When he pulled his oil filter all the crank shavings were on the outside of the oil filter.

[@SampsonGG]

@@neilizer Odds are that is actually not how your KTM oil filter functions. I have a 2011 350 KTM and the oil filter functions just like this one on the Yamaha.

Where did you take your information? Personal opinion of fact?

[@HI-mk7gw]

@@Wide000 look at internet. Racers swear on them. Paper expands with oil and you also cant clean metal filters good enough . Paper also has a rougher fine structured surface

[@maverick2242]

H I I’d rather talk to racers than read the internet on that advice, paper also loses its integrity, unless you can support that with fact micron levels type of paper number of pleats it’s just another internet must be true comment, also the filter he’s using has a magnetic catch so has multiple redundancy particle features. If racing, racers will change them regularly, will not be used for 100s of hours, when you race you don’t skimp on low cost details, that causes expensive costs there or later at the next race, this is proven in every form of motorsport, not hearsay and been there done that, so not good advice for a weekend warrior. If you want to be cheap, on cheap parts, then go right ahead sooner or later it will catch up with you unless you sell your bikes regularly like some do. Then you pass your problems onto someone else. Nice😔 Frankly unless you have had a bike for at-least a year done at-least one top end, most advice on reliability or your maintenance regime for advising others is just meaningless.

[@vegasromaniac]

The best point on stainless steel is that they are used on aviation, and you know when the motor on a plane stops, you die, so they would not use them is they were not better.. That sold me on it
