How To Change the Oil on a Yamaha Ténéré 700

[@LiVApathy]

Yamaha makes it so easy. Good video thanks.

[@stoicwarrior346]

Very helpful video, has a video been done to check and adjust valves?

[@charlescummings1484]

Thanks Charles. From CT, USA

That is by far the highest torque spec on a drain plug for a bike that I’ve ever seen and I love it because I’d over tighten it anyways

[@gpfence]

The manual does list 32-foot pounds on the drain plug. However, it seems it often strips the thread. 16-foot pounds should be plenty snug enough.

[@minds4game]

Thanks! Yea don't know why it's so high. 16 it is.

[@jean-michelgastonguay7990]

Thanks! Very well made video.

[@jeffloucks2120]

Doesn't get much easier. Also, my Toyota Tundra's oil wrench cap fit's the OEM filter. ;)

@Rocky Mountain ATV MC why in US version is 4000mi and in Europe service manual it say 6000ml ? where i can get US service manual from?

[@PotatoWasteLand]

Can you post links to all the parts used? Oil filter, oil filter wrench, crush washer, etc?

[@rmatvmc]

The first link in the video description will take you to all the parts and tools used.

[@ionutepuran6123]

Is there anything to reset, does the bike have an oil change reminder?

[@jwrancher1222]

after it drains, rock the bike slowly. you will have more oil come out the drain and the filter opening.

Mineral or synthetic oil?

[@2wheels1guy25]

@@MrJackson23324 Yamaha recommends full synthetic (10w40 in my country, but maybe in your country they recommend a different viscosity because of a different climate. But surely they recommend full synthetic).

[@kloppskalli]

[@ridewithz2596]

Hey man! If you don’t mind me asking, what’s the size of ur oil filter wrench?

[@TheDesertStormGuy]

Me who doesn't even have a Tenere in my country: Hmmm interesting

[@simonmallia2051]

torque setting for sum plug has been updated by yamaha .. 43nm thats way to tight .

[@swi2009ca]

No they did NOT. My 2024 manual says 43Nm or 32 lb-ft.

[@_Lebowski_]

Can someone please confirm the oil filter part number and diameter for correct oil filter socket? Can’t believe the Tenere manual doesn’t tell you this…

[@rmatvmc]

The Yamaha OEM oil filter is part# 5GH-13440-80-00. The oil filter socket is a 65mm.

[@_Lebowski_]

@@rmatvmc thank you!

[@alrightdave6135]

Strange how the Europe model has 6000 mile/12 month intervals.

[@BikerGirlTraveler]

🙋‍♀️ QUESTION: Once you add the oil, are you suppose to run the engine before checking the oil level? I was thought that in cars if you change the filter to run it first to make sure the filter is full of oil. Then check the oil. I did not see you start the engine. I noticed that my T7 oil level after being parked for about a week is above the top line in the window. In fact the whole window in covered in oil. WhIch appears ro me to be too much oil. BTW, the last time the oil was changed was at the dealer. But once I run the engine fir several seconds and turn it off, then waited for about 1/2 a minute and checked, the oil line was between the lines where it should be. So when do you check the oil? When the engine is cold and has been sitting for a while, or when it’s hot and you just turn off the engine?

[@rmatvmc]

Yes, run the engine for a couple of minutes, turn it off and let it sit for a few minutes, then check the oil level. Make sure the bike is level when doing this (not on the side stand). If the engine is hot, let it sit for a few minutes before checking. -Charles

[@_miguel_tenorio]

Liters or quarts?

[@rmatvmc]

2.6 liters.

[@_miguel_tenorio]

@@rmatvmc 👍🏽

[@kloppskalli]

a quart is a quarter of a gallon.. but dont ask me what a gallon is

[@timwright297]

Oh goodie another how to change oil video. How do you add blinker fluid? That's what I want to know.

[@magilla2567]

Nice input there mate

[@andrewhlnojos5419]

I went to the parts store ..they were fresh out of blinker oil..but I did pick up some traction fluid👍

[@jacqueswolfaardt5481]

And yet here YOU are??

[@volcommx4530]

Ok

[@wickedleeloopy2115]

Too much oil won't hurt the engine but not enough definitely will. The cheapest thing you can do to a motorbike is add oil.

[@yvonjasser]

Ok
