Dr Vstrom. I'm really impressed with the quality of the video and all the information You gave. I have 2 years and a half with my Vstrom 1000, and with very few knowledge about mechanics, but this videos will really help to understand and do all the basics for my own. Greetings from México City!

[@sergiomanez7097]

I used to think It would be harder but now I see I can change the oil filter by myself in a few minutes, thank you!! :D

[@ambashells]

just bought a v strom ...last year actually and tho I,ve had bikes since I was sixteen ..I always like to see how to do old stuff on a new bike ....good clear video much appreciated and well edited thanks

[@DrVstrom]

You should check the diagram in your vstrom manual and the temperature ranges in the area where you drive. Then, after knowing the temperatures you can select the oil (eg 10W40, 20W50, etc). My brand is Belray but its only my choice

[@afbarrio]

I really liked the level of detail and the tempo. It is easy to absorb and comprehend this simple procedure. This is a professional instruction video. No need to watch it again. I got it! Thanks

[@dietcokeani]

Thank you so much for this video. Your pace and explanations make it easy to follow. I'm going to go buy the oil, take my laptop out to the garage, gather the equipment and do my first DL oil change!

[@brianbaker6198]

Thank you so much for your v strom maintenance videos. They are very thorough and easy to understand all the procedures. Keep putting up videos please. My bike and I both thank you.

[@DrVstrom]

Many thanks :)

[@Conradrn]

Videos are very well done and very informative. Thank you for taking the time to document these common maintenance tasks.

[@IoannisParapontis]

[@petercarty8139]

Dr your video's are top class. I have learned a lot about my bike from watching you video's. Would like to see one on front breaks changing pads . Ty

[@90Eduard]

Thank you very much John ! You helped me overcome my fear of handling maintenance on my motorcycle! Cheers from Italy!!!

[@DrVstrom]

Thanks my frined. I am glad I could help.

[@legpowervideo]

Good clear video that gives confidence to change my own oil which will give me enjoyment and save me money

[@Gunkaleh]

I always replace the crush washer on the drain plug and I mark the outside of the filter wrench rather than the filter since I need to use the oil filter wrench to turn the filter two complete turns. Thank you for the excellent videos on a superb bike.

[@ahmedayish1981]

You are so good at explaining how to do the work .... thank you so much Dr. Storm

[@DrVstrom]

[@govindarajann7646]

Very informative! Thanks for making this video. I appreciate how patiently you explain every step of the procedure. Cheers, Govind

[@DrVstrom]

Thanks Govind, I like to make things clear, even if sometimes it takes a bit more time cause the information is valuable. Some other people do not have the patience cause they think they know all. My videos are for people like you :). Thanks for the kind words.

[@DrVstrom]

thanks, other people also ask for this so when I find time I will upload one of these as well as more

[@aegis1337]

Very good video! Thank you for such a detailed and quality instruction. I also appreciate your emphasis on properly disposing of the used oil.

[@DrVstrom]

Thanks my friend. Feel free to watch the rest of my series and why not click on any adds to support my effort.

αρε πατριώτη! μπράβο! πολύ σωστό βιντεάκι !

[@johnofypres]

I give the new filter some new oil internally before fitting. Obviously can't fill it but just a little saves a few seconds of the engine running 'dry' before the oil pressure builds. Nice post though.

[@billyf7382]

[@SuricatB]

Your motorbike is so clean you could eat on it! Keep it like that man! :D

[@cqlealpha]

Thanks, John. Please post the size of the gaskets for the oil drain bolt.

[@DrVstrom]

Hi Chris, I think its Gasket (12.1x16.2x3.7) but you can do 2 things. Either search for a store that sells vstrom parts and they will have them there also mentioning the size or if you are planing to replace the one you have, take the bolt and go to a store to buy one that fits the bolt.

[@cqlealpha]

Thanks, John. I did both and none of the stores, dealers close by my place has it. I did order on line and it's a little bigger than the OEM.

[@stamrockhard]

μπραβο για το βιντεο! μια ερωτηση το μηχανακι πως μπορει να ελαφρυνει λιγο κοιταω να παρω ενα καινουργιο...

[@DrVstrom]

That really depends more on the following factors: 1. How you ride. If you are more of a conservative rider (low revs) or really push the engine. 2. The type of oil you use, ie SAE 20 W is good for high temperatures but not for cold ones 3. The quality of the oil you use 4.The oil color, if it looks black maybe its time In General I change them every 4000 Km with an oil filter but you can leave them on the bike up to 6000Km like Suzuki says as long as their color looks ok. Take care

[@malcolmmorrison4966]

A good detailed video, much appreciat

[@przemysawkobylinski6754]

I have a question. Have you ever had a problem with speed indication or speedometer? Have you had other problems with this motorcycle (electric wires)? Regards

[@LouTube386]

Great videos. I have a V Strom 1000 and I was wondering how you keep your header pipes so clean?

[@DrVstrom]

Hello Mike, I have been asked before about that. I do not do anything special really. The only thing I can think of is that when that place gets dirty I clean it with a water wet wipe. I also wear the engine guard and my bike is always parked in the basement garage which is a completely closed room. Hope that helps :) . I know that people clean the pipes with Harpic cleaning products for the bathroom, www.rb.com/brands/harpic/ but there was no need for me to do so until now. Hope that helps.

[@aikaterinh71]

Επί της διαδικασίας: Δεν κατάλαβα για ποιο λόγο ακριβώς δεν ρίξατε όλο το καινούριο λάδι μονομιάς. Για τα εργαλεία που χρησιμοποιήσατε: Αυτό που ξεβιδώνουμε το φίλτρο (που δεν κατάλαβα επίσης που ακριβώς το αγοράζουμε) έχει κάποιο όνομα; Το ειδικό κλειδί με τα Νιούτον, είναι δυναμόμετρο ή λέγεται κάπως αλλιώς;

[@DrVstrom]

Nice to hear about that :)

[@MrJavedb]

Is stuff like maintenance (brakes, fluids, cables etc) and things like suspension adjustment or repairs the same on a 1000 vs 650?

[@DrVstrom]

Yes many things are either 100% common or very close. Please refer to my newest video for oil change. There are usually updated versions

Hi doc, I’m a nurse looking for some direction. (I really am) I have the oil leak from the socket cover symptoms. I’m looking for the cheapest way to get it sorted, do you know which is the common seal to leak and is there any chance of doing a tutorial video of the area cheers rich

[@DrVstrom]

richard bagshaw maybe you can share a photo? I do not intend to do such a video soon. Currently on vacations. Are you looking for a part number ?

[@AVCheerst]

Hey man,I'm about to replace the oil on my V strom. I used motul semi-synthetic the last time, but i found cheaper oil from Ipone. I'm thinking: oil is oil, if it's the right one it should be fine. The molul says something about esther, ipone doesn't. They are both 10W40 motorcycle oils. Should I go for the ipone?

Hi thanks for the video, I need you to indicate if your V-Strom has built oil cooler. Thank you

Thanks dr. Vstrom.. I would like to ask if the suzuki oil filter for cars is the same oil filter used in the Vstrom 650DL?

[@DrVstrom]

Gerald Magdaong only If the oil filter codes are the same. For Vstrom and other suzuki bikes the code is 16510-07J00.

[@VMWProductions]

Very good video my friend. Can you please tell us where you bought the thermometer on the oil plug? Very good idea and I would like to add one to my Wee.

[@DrVstrom]

You can find this online in many motorcycle shops including amazon. Make sure to buy the one with the long leg so it can get more accurate readings

[@jimsnow9183]

Do you ever pre-fill the new oil filter before installing it? Why is 2800 ml stamped on the engine case?

[@DrVstrom]

jim snow the horizontal position of the filter makes it not possible to pre-fill as oil will come out while putting the filter. It does not say 2800 but 2300. There is a newer video as well in my channel which provides even more info.

[@mycatisromeo]

I have a 2014 vstrom. I only drive about 500 miles a season. Stored inside house in winter. How often would you think I need to change oil?

[@DrVstrom]

Hello, it depends on how long the season is. How many months and how are these miles splitted? Evenly or not? If the motorcycle sits for long periods unused and if you only do very short distances, then water will eventually accumulate in the oil and the oil will even break down faster. Therefore, its best to change it. Thus said cost wise, it might be best to get a cheaper oil that is still within specs and change it more often. However, oil is not your biggest problem. Your biggest problem is fuel especially since now gasoline has a high % of ethanol that makes a lot of damage if it stays in the system and is not fresh. Then its also the break fluid and the coolant. These two also cause problems, cause their chemicals break down and 1st one will break your abs pump (very expensive to replace). The second will clog your coolant system. Thus said a motorcycle is best preserved if used. Gasoline can stay unused if you put a stabilizer perhaps for 6 months without causing damage. Oil should be changed every year at least. The other fluids should be changed every 1,5 years if being unused. Hope that helps.

[@Skaway]

Great video Dr! So you change oil and oil filter every...how many km?

Cup type filter wrench with 3/8" socket. Oil Filter tool dimensions:- 68mm internal diameter with 14 Flutes. Torque for oil filter is 20Nm and better watch this video which is better and newer kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKq5aIGjeNl1a6c

[@filippozanolli6979]

@@DrVstrom grazie , grazie mille e buona giornata ;-)

[@cilles2000]

Do you need to use torque wrench when tighten the oil plug.

[@DrVstrom]

I use torque wrench everywhere, Some people play the great mechanics and the say they have a great feel on when to stop tightening by hand. I m not interested in making such claims. The materials used in today's motorcycles and metals are not quality and mistakes then cost. You will need a torque wrench for other areas in the bike so why not use it also here? Hope it answers your question. By the way there is a more updated version of oil change in the channel, it has better information just look it up.

[@alphacharlie65ms]

Just came across your videos. They are a big help. Do you change the oil every 3000 miles? I ride 90% roads 10% dirt roads.

[@DrVstrom]

Thanks. It all depends on many things such as the age of your bike, how well the engine breaking period was, the temperatures of your location, your driving style and the type/quality of the oil but if you dont mind the cost you can change it around there. It also wont hurt if you keep them a bit longer.
