Fine video, Pavlin, and the advice at the end to open the air screw was very helpful! I changed from a BMW 1150 GSA to a Yamaha XT 660 Z! Have a nice time, mate!! 👏✌

[@alanjackson7387]

Thank-you! Especially the part about responsible disposal of the used oil!

[@motorcycleadventures]

You are welcome again, new video every week.

[@paradisebreeze1705]

Just chuck it in drain

[@the_crewchef]

Very helpful, thanks for this video. Changing the oil on my dad's bike and this made it much easier!

[@motorcycleadventures]

Glad it helped!

[@sm-ov1wh]

Wow that's what I call black oil 😄😄😄 great info . Thinking off selling my gs for a 660 xtz

[@abderrahmanehabbaaina141]

You have broken my hart with that tool. It makes the job so easy quick and clean

[@motorcycleadventures]

Yes, it is, specially while you are on the trip.

[@toby7504]

even if i have done servces on my own bikes for about 25years its kind of relaxing to watch others do this... I use motul 5100 on my bikes. My sporsbikes liked that oil best.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thank you for watching my friend. Ride safe!

[@supermick83]

Great educational video. The quick connection is a great piece of equipment 👍

[@albinlindgren8481]

This was very helpful!! Accidentally poured some oil on my radiator, but managed to clean most of it off though.

[@motorcycleadventures]

I am glad that the video helps!

[@9W8o7l7f4]

Thank you mate. Please let us know where we can buy drainage tool.

[@stepheneldridge6998]

Good video. ..really well explained. The only tip I will offer is to fix a bit of hose on the end of your funnel ....then it is easier to refill the oil. Steve

[@motorcycleadventures]

Yes, correct. I have such a funnel, but I couldn't find it. Thanks for watching!

[@Sum4Seb]

Well done! I like how you have a spare clutch cable zip tied in place already, great trick! Great doing the work yourself and you know it's done right. *T4S*

[@motorcycleadventures]

Yes, the spare clutch cable is very good idea. It is always there when you need it. Thanks for watching!

[@paulking8055]

Did a RTW on my XT660R, 44,000 miles and still on the same cable and clutch. Just fit new before you leave.

[@kalinbakalov9422]

Hey Pavlin. Your channel is great. Because of you I am in the process of buying 2010 xt660z tenere, but because i am a newbie to it can you advise me where i can buy parts for maintenance and tuning if needed.

[@motorcycleadventures]

There are plenty of places, EBay, Amazon, off-the-road.de and many more.

[@kalinbakalov9422]

@@motorcycleadventures thank you for sharing. I wilk keep you posted, maybe one day we can ride together around our beautiful country of Bulgaria. Cheers and keep posting those nice adventures

[@teneretraveller8980]

Excellent video. Especially the special tool to connect the pipe to drain oil and the prompt to bleed the filter housing. By the way, can you remember where the gps cover with sun visor above the clocks came from? I have a normal gps I load with route files I plan on the computer before I leave. But for normal riding in don't carry the gps and that would be perfect to slip my phone into if I need to use it to direct me to an address in a city centre. At the moment I put it in my tank bag and it is hard to read in bright sunlight.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Hi Richard, this is very simple GPS cover and I bought it from one of the local motorcycle stores. Nothing special, but work well. I attached to the dash with zip ties.

[@teneretraveller8980]

Motorcycle Adventures Many thanks found very similar item and cable tied behind screen, resting on top of speedo case. I presume yours does same with no problems

[@motorcycleadventures]

Correct.

[@Gus-cg9yp]

Good video !!! Very good explained. Similar to my bike ( bmw F650 funduro ) . As you sayed, its easy juast take your time and save money for next trip . Thanks and carry on !!!

[@motorcycleadventures]

You are welcome again! Thank you for watching!

[@karlos2040]

Love the videos, keep them coming

[@motorcycleadventures]

I will, new video every week. Thanks for watching!

[@pal9878]

Great! Thanks (I purchased the oil draining tool.)

[@9W8o7l7f4]

Hi. Please help me find this drainage tool.

[@radoslavivanov5472]

Hi ! I see you had changed the pipe that connects the radiator and the water pump on your old tenere . Can you tell with wath pipe you had made it ?

[@motorcycleadventures]

I did not change it, just have a plastic protection on it. It is made from electric pipe cut in the middle.

[@radoslavivanov5472]

@@motorcycleadventures Thank you ! I will do so on my XTZ too

[@PatrickFlinner]

And remember to dispose of the oil responsibly. Use the toilet not the wife's kitchen sink :) Nice detailed video, I am surprised how many steps the Yamaha needs compared to my old KLR.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Yes, but it has some positives. Because of the dry sump system, you can ride even with only 1 litter of oil. Thank s for watching!

[@sunnymindsunnymind]

Patrick Flinner in every place, where you can buy oil, you can leave the used oil for free. Some require the bill, so they can see that you bought it there. Oil should not get in our water system. Please protect your wives kitchen AND our environment:)

[@minimaldirection]

you can put a piece of garden hose at the end of the funnel about 20cm.makes it mach easier to fill the oil.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Yes, I know. Thanks for watching!

[@minimaldirection]

thank you for the enlightening video!

[@fazerthofzs9123]

great video mate nice one

[@grottensantos4279]

Thanks for the good explanation. I ll do this tomorrow... .Just wondering if you work offshore in the oil industry (seen your keyring)

[@motorcycleadventures]

Hahaha, it is "Remove before you fly" Thanks for watching!

[@guyfawkes5360]

Hey, for how much km you use the motul oil now?

[@motorcycleadventures]

About 10,000km

[@Niandrion]

Привет, Павлин! Недавно приобрел Тенере, во многом благодаря твоиму каналу. Очень благодарен за все видео, а так же очень нравится и легко воспринимается твой акцент. Мог бы ты подсказать ответ на мой вопрос. После замены масла с фильтром по мануалу (2.6л), даже после прогрева и ожидания 10 минут, уровень масла не достаёт до щупа. Требуется ли доливать до среднего уровня? Или довериться мануалу и оставить необходимый объем?

[@motorcycleadventures]

Получается разницу, в зависимост температура масло и время подгрева. Доливай до максималного уровня. Ето что я делаю.

[@obrenovicSLOVAKIA]

Hi boy, do you have an adress under which I can find and buy this plug tool to drain oilfrom button ? Fine video . Miloš

Great video thank you

[@motorcycleadventures]

You are welcome anytime!

[@תהלגולדפרב]

its ok to use 15-50 putoline ?

[@motorcycleadventures]

10W50 or 10W60 will be a better choice.

[@SAMAICOSALOMONICO]

@@motorcycleadventures why 10w60 bro?

[@exploreR3ality]

Hello Pavlin ! First of all: thank you for this useful videos. I was wondering are you still using Motul 7100 10W-50 on your Tenere ? I saw your last maintenance videos, and that engine is perfect and clean, even after 160k kms! Wow! Did you try any other brands / gradations , and what is your experience ? My bike currently has Motul 5100 10W-40, since previous owner used that, but gear shifting is not that smooth as i would expect it to be. I am thinking to switch to Motul 7100, since many people say it is better for this engine, and see how it will work then. All the best!

[@motorcycleadventures]

No I switched to Motorex 10W60

[@thejohnnerparty]

It's funny - until I watched this video, I could not imagine why I should watch it, but it is a very good and important video. LOL. Thank you once again. ;-) …. I have been following you for quite some time. I have been looking for a light weight adventure / touring bike. And what I learned is that you have it. Again, I am laughing, but again I am thankful. LOL For a long time I was considering the Honda 250L, which is a pretty good bike, but not quite big enough HWY riding - 120kmh. Then I started looking at the CB500X, which for street use looks pretty good, but it just doesn't cut it for mild off road use. It would probably require something like a Rally Raid upgrade to be useable off road. But after that it ends up in the same weight category as XT660 Tenere. The new BMW F850GS & 310GS are interesting, the 850 is too heavy and 310 would probably require upgrades. So of all these considerations, the Tenere seems to be the best option. …. Nicely done. …. Thanks. ;-)

[@motorcycleadventures]

You are welcome John!
