Kawasaki Ninja H2 | Maintenance Needed..

[@kevinbayliss5859]

If you’d have taken the little yellow plug out of your oil catcher whist your oil ran into the container it would have gone in without blowing air out and bubbling out of the large hole

[@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff]

bit of tin foil over the pipes too when you take the filter out.

[@daveyt4802]

Drill a small hole at the opposite side. Cheap cut one probably works better heh.

I have a 2018 Kawasaki H2 sx se with the full Vandemon H2R style exhaust, stage 2 supercharger gears, intercooler, blow off valve, clutch springs, H2R spark plugs, flash and tuned at 271.11 hp . I have a 2021 H2 carbon edition being delivered this week coming up. These bikes are amazing. My bike sounds just like your bike only louder as I have removed my baffle . Beautiful bike.

I put that racing oil in my BMW s1000r a few weeks ago. I bought for my KTM enduro years ago. The BMW loves it, so smooth changing gear now

[@leontrice5346]

I agree, I love working on my bike, it’s definitely one of the best bits about motorcycling

I would love to own a ninja h2, hopefully i can get my apprenticeship soon at kawasaki

[@Steve-motorcycles]

Mavis is the real star of the show 👍😂

[@LambChopRides]

Haha, don't encourage her!!

[@JEmmertz]

Mighty nice! It's obvious that you know your way around the engine and the mechanics of the bike. Having the right gear, and the right place to do it in, makes it a lot easier. Oh, and the way to keep air out of the brake system is golden! Saves loads of time. Growing up me and my dad always needed to do maintenance of the cars outside the garage or some such. (Garage was filled with tyres, tools, rims etc. so no place left.)

[@Merlin-lc4zu]

"Skinny jeans ,how old are you?"Oh that made me chuckle.Good one Mavis.Lovely bike but i would be back in lockdown before the end of the Summer due to a points filled license.

@@LambChopRides Not sure they were skinny just a little tight :)

[@karlosh9286]

but can you go to the pub in jeans ? yeah , what's a "pub" ? :-D

[@rockyp3917]

Just get a cat litter tray from Kmart for $5 to use it as oil pan. No need to cut out any cans

[@steve-wu7jp]

Good idea , I for got about using a kitty litter pan

[@stephenmcqueen4029]

I’ve used them and still do but you have to careful moving them about when full.

[@DoRC]

11:11 that number you were looking at is the standard as new plate thickness. the number you want to look at is the service limit which was over on the right and is 2.7 mm.

[@1981carlom]

Chops take the vent cap out of the oil catcher pan. That’s why’s you have the oil popping up at ya🤪

[@karlosh9286]

plastic gasket scrapers . top tip ! I've used wood chisels in the past !!! Also top tip with the syringe on the brakes. I definitely enjoy watching you tinker , well with your bikes !

[@headrace4863]

Stunning machine... never get rid of it. It’s ridiculous, pointless and fundamentally not a lot of use but that’s why it’s so incredible. Hopefully catch up soon, all the best. 👍👍

[@LambChopRides]

Yes exactly that is really what it's about, don't ride it that often but when I do it's just incredible 👍

That oil collector... I think I prefer mine with a massive hole.

[@iamtherealzombie]

Missed Mavis, glad to see she's made her return.

[@ninja12lawbreaker]

Top tip, buy a 25 litre water container from halfords etc. and cut a square hole in the side towards the top. these containers also have a tap at the bottom and cost £10. I also use it for my 10.5 litre audi oil change. tranport oil can upright to the recycling centre and open the tap, Ta Da, you're welcome

[@LambChopRides]

Love it 👍

[@Deetroiter]

I could be completely wrong but from the looks of it, the maintenance and working on it seems very friendly especially considering the league of bike the h2 is in!

[@Porkycheun]

Thanks Chops, you've just reminded me that I forgot to buy an oil filter during my previous motorcycle maintenance shopping... I knew I did forget something! 😅

[@garyhutson6361]

Great vid for a Saturday morning Mr chops

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Gary 👍

[@davidreed6817]

Some people fill the new oil filter before fitting because as soon as you start the engine the oil level will drop by the amount that's needed to fill the oil filter.

[@Critastic]

An absolute joy to watch chops, best motorcycle content on KZbin.

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks buddy 👍

[@575ban]

I loved the way you could hear the birds chirping in the background when you switched the H2 off after warming it up after the oil change. Its like they're that used to you revving your bike(s) up it just doesn't bother them anymore 😂👌👍

[@LambChopRides]

Haha yeah I was surprised too! They really didn't care 😆

[@RiderReviews]

Great Video Chops...bike looking good too! What I’ve done in the past is thread some studs into the clutch housing then slid the gasket and cover over, you can then remove studs one at a time when fitting cover bolts back. ‘Just an idea to make it a tad easier hopefully’ Cheers Jake

[@LambChopRides]

That is a genius idea! Love it 👍

[@RiderReviews]

@@LambChopRides also works even better on the magneto side housing due to the magnetic force pulling the cover on making it really difficult. 👍

[@lynsmith1096]

Another good video Lamb Chop/ Look forward to hearing the dump valve.

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Lyn 👍

[@cpuuk]

I knew the oil would come out like that, because it does exactly the same thing on mine. That capture container just isn't deep enough LOL.

[@middleagedmanonbike]

Next time take the vent plug out of your "proper" oil pan (the little plug in the top corner) - then it doesn't bubble back up as the air escapes :-)

[@colincoleman2536]

Well done choperoo great video and good to hear Mavis giving it large. Right now where's me frying pan time for a nibble.

[@BigBadLoneWolf]

you should of taken the small plug out, so the air can escape as the oil goes into the container

[@karlosh9286]

I always have warmed the engine before an oil change. I agree with you. Obviously the drain can is the best way too do . I've had one for donkey's years ! Also a ice big old towel on the floor. That's what I've found when changing oil on those horrible 4 wheeled things , it always spurts out too quickly . ooooher missus :-D

[@nigelren3719]

Brilliant Chops, love the garage vids. That's a wicked looking machine. Did an oil change on my cb500x the other day and it pissed out like yours, usually comes out slower if you've not taken the oil filter off. Who knows eh? Going to use a bucket next time!

[@LambChopRides]

Yeah I wasn't expecting it to flow that quick if I'm honest! 😆

[@tzunec]

Locktite the bolts on the cluch springs

[@neilcole3406]

Can you ask Mavis if she takes back door delivery’s?

[@shuttlefish59]

If you take out the small plug on the drain pan it lets the air out as the oil fills up the container ;)

[@LambChopRides]

Yes absolutely, realized that whist editing the vid! 👍

[@stephenmcqueen4029]

Like the digital torque monitor. And the syringe on the brake bleeder. As to the clutch and springs, you have a slipper clutch there with ramps to prevent it slipping, and only 3 springs because of the ramps, which reduces the pull force required to operate the lever. But with shovels for hands I suppose it’s not a problem for you. Where is the Ducati!

[@mrcintheuk5596]

Glad I've never bought a specific oil change container! 😁. Good tip on using the syringe 💉 to create suction when changing brake pads and bleeding the fluid. 👍

[@johnmclean4911]

You don't need a syringe to change your brake pads. When you push the pistons in to the calipers the brake fluid just goes back up to the master cylinder on the handle bars. The syringe thing is just given you more work as far as I can see. But hay everyone to there own thing here. But I was really surprised how thin the oil was it looked more like engine coolent than oil. 😳

[@markbright7845]

You’re supposed to take the yellow cap off your oil catching super container. Let’s air out as oil goes in the bigger hole, so you don’t get burps of back farts of oil from the big hole. Div! 🥲

[@LambChopRides]

Yeah funny you should say that Mark as realised that watching the vid back 👍

[@markbright7845]

@@LambChopRides These things are a great idea, I know, I had one. But you still end up cleaning the outside of the oil catcher, AND you still don’t avoid splashing the garage floor as you proved. Big old bath towel on the floor under a cut-out old oil can, as you suggested. Drain into the emptied “new” oil can for disposal. Keep it all together in a big old carrier bag or bin bag for next time. Just don’t forget where you put it, Sometimes I stare at my garage shelves for twenty minutes before I remember what I put something away in.

[@capybara931]

Absolutely fantastic vid again, as always. Always very informative and lots of useful tips. Your H2 is simply stunning. All the best for the future.

[@slakk5093]

Other reason to warm the oil is to stir up all the little bits of crap, they settle if the bike is cold. They stay suspended in the oil for a while when it's warm, so you heat the oil, stir up the crap, and then the crap comes out with the drain.

[@LambChopRides]

Wow yes great point 👍

Pull the yellow plug out the drain pan and it won’t glue and spit at you.

[@PAB712]

Had similar issues with the Brembos on my 2019 ZX14R. Very happy with EBC's EPFA "fast street/track day" pads. If you don't get a huge improvement from the ones you put in (SBC's?) do try them.

[@ticthedog9413]

The H2 does look and sound the business. I've always been lead to believe that draining oil over night does more harm than good.

[@paultanton4307]

Can;t think of any reason why - unless you Forget what you are doing and Ride off on it with no Oil.

[@ticthedog9413]

Paul Tanton I was thinking more along the lines of that draining oil over night would drain oil of of the oil pump and galleries and it would take longer to build up oil pressure thus causing engine damage

[@HalfdeadRider]

That comment about the oil and not warming it as it will still be in the head 🤣🤣 that's why you leave it five minutes or so to drain to the sump, you will always get more out with it warm, quicker too. It's like those people who say fill the filter first, it will fill when the oil circulates anyway so that's pointless, just remember to recheck the level after running the bike a few minutes, and again after your first ride to be sure it's right.

[@LambChopRides]

Yes exactly 💯% 👍

[@vincentbrooks1485]

Were you having trouble with your stock clutch slipping? If you weren't adding stiffer clutch springs really isn't doing anything but making the clutch harder to pull.

[@143gurmukh]

it's best just to drain and fill rather then makeing it hot and putting your old oil back in to the engine and then wait to drain 🙂
