SR250 Maintenance Part 1: Oil, oil filter and clutch change

The #100mphsr250 required a clutch inspection so I thought I would take the opportunity to film the process and at the same time show how the oil and filter can be changed - because I already needed to drain the oil and remove the covers etc. In the next video we will look at adjusting valves, cam chain tension and inspect timing.

[@tilda15un]

Thank you so much for this helpful video!!

[@juanantoniodegea1391]

this video is great!!

[@collyernicholasjohn]

Thanks for the tips Jake

[@thekback]

This is great!

[@FernandoelChachi]

That bike looks so clean and improved....My exhaust tube got a bit like a gold color and I like it. It looks like a saxophone indeed. I love it, great product you sell. I'm sure that that's just because I had to close a lot with a DB Killer the exhaust I bought elsewhere and I installed, to make my inox one quiter.

[@FernandoelChachi]

I've seen that side of the engine opened many times and the original seal doesn't use to leak as far as it's not broken.

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

Exactly 😊

[@skydancerforever]

I see you did the roll pin mod on that bike. Any info on this one way or the other. Just bought a 83 XT250 and the mod was not done. Has 8900 miles and engine runs good and top end looks good when i adjusted the valves. I did do the mod today with a 6x20mm roll pin of amazon. Not sure how close this is the the Yamaha part? Scares me in thinking the crank won't get enough oil now.

[@jackjames-gets2717]

Hey great vid! Quick question, what torque setting would you suggest for the cover bolts?

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

The manual states 7.2ft-lb for the long oil filter cover bolts and for the crank case cover bolts it specifies 5.1ft-lb. But these settings are so low, we usually just do these up by feeling - tight enough but not too tight!

[@djtapiocca]

ahora mismo lo tenéis agotado, ¿vais hacer mas? Gracias por vuestro trabajo

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

Not sure I understand what you mean sorry!

[@djtapiocca]

@@JadusMotorcycleParts Now they are sold out on the web, are you going to make more pieces? o Are you going to sell it again? Thank you

[@trevorlucas264]

Where can I find a kick starter for a sr185 assuming it's the same as the 250

[@devond1]

What are you using for the upper oil plug? Looks metal as opposed to the stock rubber

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

Hi! I am not sure what you mean… Do you mean the oil filler cap? The stock one is plastic and the one I have installed here is a metal one with an oil temperature guage in it!

[@ivandepasquale2717]

Please, help me: yesterday when I started the SR250, after 6 years of being stopped and after having cleaned the carburettor, I put the petrol tap on PRI to start the engine. I got distracted and after about 30 seconds - 1 minute, I heard petrol falling to the ground through the air filter box tube: is this normal, or is there something wrong with the carburetor floats? Help me, thanks

[@Afterhourtire]

Has anyone tried the roll pin mod yet?

[@ivandepasquale2717]

Sorry, a suggestion: is it absolutely necessary to empty the oil motor in order to remove the starting motor?

[@ivandepasquale2717]

In other words, can I avoid to empty the oil motor if I remove the right crankcase cover?

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

@@ivandepasquale2717 Hi Ivan, not if the bike is level. But if you lean it to the left side you can!

[@ivandepasquale2717]

@@JadusMotorcycleParts First of all, many thanks. In your opinion, could be enough to lean the bike on the left side stand?

[@Corvidoextraviado]

Que velocidad alcanza?

[@Aciecarter238]

Is this the same motor as a 1980 yamaha tt 250 or xt 250. Looks the same inside

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

Yepp! For the most part :)

[@FernandoelChachi]

I would like to buy your fuel filter. Where can I get it?. Maybe you could sell it with the right lenght size tubes and nice clamps.

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

That is a quick connector for disconnecting the tank quickly ;)

[@FernandoelChachi]

@@JadusMotorcycleParts Ah, Ok. A bit big. I have there a Briggs & Stratton Inline fuel filter now, but it gets a bit tight to fit with the tubes (not perfect, but more or less right). I tried before 90 degrees filters, but they were from China and they melted. They were fitting better (after cutting them a bit) though. It's very difficult to find a 90 degrees fuel filter that makes the job with the right size and is good.

[@JojoHansen-xq6rd]

Hello, Can anybody tell me, where i can buy the oil filter cooler? I would like to custom my bike Thx

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

They were a limited production item and are not made any more sorry!

[@JojoHansen-xq6rd]

Oh o.k. Thx for answering
