Decided to Change the Engine Oil on my Kawasaki Z800 myself, also thought its a better idea to clean the air filter as i had done about 6000kms since the last cleaning.
I usually have all the tools at home, in this case had to pick up an oil filter puller only.
I choose Motul 300V instead of Motul 7100 as used in the service center. 300V is the top of the line oil from Motul, there is lot of debate as to weather to use this OIL for street or not. Some say this is for racing purpose.
However since i shot the video i have already put few hundred kms on the ODO and my thoughts are 300v is extremely smooth. I feel the gear shifts and the Clutch response has changed drastically on the positive side. Anything that makes the engine smooth means less metal to metal rubbing and the OIL is doing exactly what its intended to do. This is definitely a better oil than 7100. I need to check after some long run use (around 3000-4000 km). Will keep a watch on the oil level through out. I am hopeful there will be zero to no decrease....wait and watch
About the filter recharge, as usually you can really feel the engine breath better. Opening the throttle gives an smooth air suction sound. K&N filters are amazing and do the job well, if am not wrong these filters can be cleaned and reused for about 100,000 miles.
