@jakewillits46787 ай бұрын
Usually drain plugs you just get them snug after all its better to have jt fall out, leak its oil infront of your back tire and die in a crash compared to overtightening and cracking or damaging anyof your engine case. So to spec is is clesrly somewhere inbetween

It is always a lot cheaper than a shop doing it and I'm getting ready to buy my first new bike, a 2018 Indian Scout Sixty, I've built a lot of bikes, choppers and basket cases, they turned out new sort of, but real new, I'm 66 and haven't ridden in 25 years as life just got in the way, used to ride a Goldwing to work, my Dad had a Indian Chief in 47 so I thought what the hell, they don't vibrate near as bad as a Harley does from what a friend told me who borrowed a new Scout.

$105 per hour of labor charge. They usually only charge half a hour since it's a simple job. Plus they mark up the price on the oil and filter.
@txgamer13477 жыл бұрын
Just as a warning for the first time you change the oil on a Scout, sometimes they over tighten the oil filter from the factory and make it EXTREMELY hard to remove. I actually had to end up puncturing the filter with a screwdriver through the side, and use that as a leverage bar along with my filter pliers to get it off. I installed the replacement hand tight, and haven't had an issue since.

When you tighten the 2 oil drain plugs you say 'torque to spec'. Well why not say in your video what the torque setting(s) are for these 2 plugs? I understand that there may be changes in engines in the future but really just say what year and model and suggest to check the owners manual if the torque settings are in ther. Other than that an OK video.

If anyone complaining about missing torque settings is an Indian rider, I might choose to buy a Harley instead. Certainly don't want to be associated with this bunch of whinnies. All the missing information he did not mention in the video are in the manual. Why not take it a step further: - Make sure to buy a Indian Scout first - Don't use open flame sources close to the engine - Don't drink from the oil container, as oil is bad for your body If you can't use a manual to look up the specs, then you should probably take your motorcycle to the dealership.

Kinda agree. While I appreciate the video I wish they would have shown the horn being removed, the full tightening of the filter, and the full tightening to spec (whatever the spec was) of the drain plugs. Also, does the oil pan need to be big enough to catch oil from the drain plugs AND removed filter? How long should the oil be allowed to drain from the bike? 30 minutes? Hour? More? Does "upright" when checking the oil mean perpendicular to the ground or on the kick stand (as shown in the video)?

Son, you whipped out that dip stick like you were pulling out a Japanese sword, "Check the level, now you see it, now you don't, there it is, no its not, where is the magic line, I'm not telling," and back into the rabbit hole! Over filling an engine can be catastrophic, so you need to show EXACTLY where that line is or don't show it at all. Get down! Give Geronimo 10 push-ups! If I was going to consult the manual to show me where that level mark was and how to read it EXACTLY, why are you on the payroll?

For those who always say "who could give this a thumbs down?! waaaahh wahhh" Well, the video is usless without those specs because all of us still have to go and get the manual out to change our oil.
