SV1000S - Oil change and fun

[@ccromagnonn]

When I changed oil last time I started to fill up fresh oil with the drain plug removed constantly watching the level inspection window. 2L of nice smelling red oil was on the ground.

[@Sam590ss]

Been there 🤣

[@martinowl]

Thought that dropping things in the old oil only happened to me! Funny as fuck, but fair play for not editing it out

[@mattbaldwin9217]

GOT IT! step 5 lube new oil filter O ring by throughing new filter in the old oil.

[@upsidedowndog1256]

Anything on the magnetic drain plug? Leave the fairing off to clean it good, they look better without to me. Nice point about cooling off!

[@NetPwn]

How many times have I dropped a sump plug in the hot oil , then start looking for the old washer

[@PelicanIslandLabs]

That oil looks like sheit. Dropping that filter was classic. I almost fell off my chair laughing.

[@allesklarklaus147]

yeah me too

[@soulrider678]

Using miller gloves for draining the oil, sacrilegious lol just doing my first oil change on my sv and the garage was properly ham fisted with oil filter, thought this can’t be right and yours just twisted off as I’d expect

[@bikersquest]

Lol my GW250's crank cover feels like it's stripping too and it's basically a new bike, I've stripped the sump plug on my old hornet due to an ebay special torque wrench and had to take the sump off the fix, such a waste of time but I learned a lot I guess lool, I use a calibrated jug to refill after overfilling once/ being unsure if I'm holding the thing level

[@yajnaamakusa8786]

I didn't like how that oil ran out and the last remnants dripped into the oil puddle. Looks as thin as water, and smells of petrol? But then it was hot anyway.

[@markyoung13]

I tighten a jubilee clip round the filter to stop it unscrewing, on an SRAD there's a handy sticky out bit to brace the screw against otherwise I'd lock wire it. Paranoia, it's a terrible thing.

[@upsidedowndog1256]

If the "specimen cup" fluid reservoirs are in good shape, get or make covers. They don't do well with UV's.

[@TopaAdamski]

Great video, quick and easy just without dropping filter in old oil. At least i learn that is not end of the world if he drop XD cheers mate!

[@mongimarci]

I like your videos. I'm thinking about buying a SV1000S.

[@tabushka292]

Thanks for the video, it's really helpful! I have a couple of questions though: What if I don't have access to a torque wrench? My mechanic advised me to tighten the bolt by hand until I can and after that I should use a wrench and tighten it by one quarter of a turn. Is this good information? And the other thing is, can I use 10w50 oil? This is also what my mechanic advised saying it's gonna have a better resistance to heat. I listened to him so now I have 4 liters of Motul 7100 10w50. The manual says I can use 10w40 and 10w50 both in any temperature but it also recommends 10w40 so it stresses me out a a little bit.

[@PTReDaLeRtPT]

Why won't you drain the oil cold and after a long period of time with the motorcycle parked (> 1 week)? It isn't a better way to extract the most of the oil inside the engine, gearbox? Thank you.

[@thedirtyworkshop]

LOL try it and you'll see why

[@PTReDaLeRtPT]

As the most of the oil will be in the oil sump and after thousands of km has some gasoline dilution and its consequent reduction of viscosity. I tried it several times on my DL650A and I extracted about 3 liters each time, including the oil within the filter (I did measure the weight of the used and bland new filter to get the oil mass in it). I've sent some oil samples to the Blackstone and Polaris labs and the results seems OK, including particles counting. I can share with you the results, if you're interested.

[@jediknight1294]

More importantly leaving the bike for a week isnt something that can be done with a daily commuter bike.

[@mikegrady4]

What is the lubricity spec on that oil? Is that shit good for oil bath clutches? I want the spec designation off the back of that jug! LOL

[@memybikeni9931]

Quick question if you have time. Why are you changing the oil if you are doing a complete teardown of the bike.

[@thedirtyworkshop]

Not for a couple of months yet, and I never run shite in my bikes

[@MrLukealbanese]

would you not precharge the new filter with oil before fitting it? otherwise the engine will start and run without oil for a few seconds?

[@thedirtyworkshop]

There's already oil in the system, you'll never get it all out. This is a different story when starting an engine dry and I'll cover that during the rebuild - after the teardown

[@MrLukealbanese]

OK, take your point.

[@johnsparks211]

Did you ever cut open the oil filter?

[@Sam590ss]

Definitely some fuel delution going on. But as you stated, I'd expect some at 50k. That's a little excessive imo.

[@AndrewNoronha-cb2gy]

Hi matt.. many questions.. Any particular reason you use castrol? Have you tried motul 7100 or 300v? Why dont you use motul? What do you check in an engine oil and decide which oil to use considering price also.. Whats your advice on which engine oil would you recommend to me? Thx in advance

[@thedirtyworkshop]

I choose castrop because they're spent more on r&d than anyone else.

[@AndrewNoronha-cb2gy]

@@thedirtyworkshop if you dont mind answering the other questions plz do.. or could you just answer this...would you recommend the motul 7100 or the castrol?

[@thruxt0677]

Mate did you ever diagnose the cause of fuel stench oil?. What would be likely cause if the oil was changed regularly and still reeked of fuel?

[@georgesalf2447]

'pre-dip' fucking hell, had me choking!

[@jackburke2208]

Had to pause the video i was laughing that much when you dropped the filter 😂😂😂 had a good laugh

[@davydmir6565]

Lol funny stuff, thanks for the info. Can't wait for the next one.

[@koedstorm]

Do you do anything to clean the external parts of the engine? to me it looks pretty damn dirty but i dont know much about the effects of it.

[@1clemsta]

ha you divvy, its weird before you dropped the filter I was thinking it would be funny if you dropped it in the oil drain pan. I feel like ive got super powers now.

[@AndrewNoronha-cb2gy]

Hi matt!! Do you check ur oil level when the engine is cold or hot? My motorcycle manual tells me to check it first thing in the morning (hinting cold) but my friend has a similar bike as mine and he had filled his oil when it was cold and ended up overfilling it. (373cc, single cylinder, synthetic oil)

[@thedirtyworkshop]

Always cold.

[@tw6946]

I put in 2.9l and there's nothing on the oil window still am I fucked?

[@Vhdrumm3r]

Almost died laughing Sir! Can't wait for other SV vids.

[@Neontrifle]

Is it worth flushing the old oil out?

[@carsineb]

This dude ... love it!!! THX

[@grimmreaper3785]

To test if you got patrol in it 100% work is a nice ve lighter lol

[@ScubboNZ]

neat series thanks mate!

[@thedirtyworkshop]

No worries

[@Deanxm1]

Good man for not cutting that out, funny as fook.

[@zakeh2833]

ahem...make this bike great again????? love the vids love the channel. I know how to do an oil change... is this a what not to do lol btw how did the aluminum cam cradle repair end up working out?

[@thedirtyworkshop]

Fine as far as I know, Andy hasn't messaged me saying it broke or anything lol

[@johnbogdaniec671]

filter well and truly pre charged !

[@stevenkennedy6090]

dropping the filter KARMA for the first game? lol. keep up the good vids

[@vidmantask.4400]

Brilliant. I use the same oil in my gsx 1250 fa and alot of suzuki bikes like that same oil :)

[@seinfeld11123]

I had an oil test done on my brand new R3 I had a fair bit of fuel in it. turns out that my bike isnt tuned for 98RON fuel. I was getting bore wash. Id notice the oil get fucking thin just by looking at it every 1,000km. so I rang my oil company they bent over backwards to help me. in the end had 6% fuel concentration no wear metals or anything so I was catching it early. I dropped back to 95 RON fuel and I have 2% fuel after 5,000 km now which is a very acceptable number. Moral unless its a brand new bike that says premium 98 only DON NOT RUN IT

[@andersjjensen]

Thank you for that piece of information! That is a lot better than all the "bro science" you hear around the camp fire!

[@bigdorkification]

jack black using a ron over what is stated shouldn't affect anything. Going lower than stated is bad. Seems to me like it was just a case of the bike being brand new so the rings werent bedded in

[@beachboardfan9544]

AAAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA almost choked on my chips My best, I opened a 5qt bottle of oil, meticulously pulled the foil seal off then set it down to clean my funnel and when I came back to put the funnel in the fill port, I kicked the bottle and about 4qts of brand new oil went to lubricating my garage floor.

[@thedirtyworkshop]

Been there - will make a t-shirt lol

[@vinceyreay]

I love your vid's man but noticed the schoolboy 'righty tighty' error on your initial attempt at cracking the sump nut off.....just shows that your human is all, did make me giggle though haha.

[@thedirtyworkshop]

Upside down always gets me when I'm chatting away to the camera

[@mrpantur7280]

I use that oil in my ybr 125 and I abuse the shit outa it and Its never burnt oil or had engine trouble... goooooddd shit.

[@motominx7507]

Serious question,, you kept on saying how expensive that Castrol oil was ,, how much is it for 4lts?

[@thedirtyworkshop]

£56

[@motominx7507]

The Workshop Yep , that's up there, I personally use Motul 7100

[@johnbogdaniec671]

£56 fuck me, better deals for the same stuff on flea bay but only if your willing to wait. Sorry for that information.

[@p330hne]

Moto Minx yeah and that motul smells lovelly when it warms up

[@yajnaamakusa8786]

You bought that oil from ripoff-fords, I guess... Got a bottle of it lying around just as occasional top-up stuff. Ebay seems to have the best value bike oils.

[@mikegrady4]

My wrist pops when I reach the correct torque.......it is an American thing.

[@thedirtyworkshop]

LOL - that's called something else - beginning with arthritis....

[@mongimarci]

@@thedirtyworkshop haha good one

[@daos3300]

that was priceless.

[@milksheihk]

It probably doesn't happen in bike circles but there are people who swear that sucking old oil out through the top of the engine is better than draining it out the bottom(I forget the reasoning), I think that's a wank really.

[@communist-hippie]

milksheihk its one of those things that probably make 0.05 difference. not really worth the hassle

[@thedirtyworkshop]

"sucking old oil out through the top of the engine is better than draining it out the bottom" - why? WTF?!

[@milksheihk]

Like I said, it's a wank. I think some people claim it gets more out, or gets all the bits of metal & crud out or some shit.

[@MediumWolf227]

milksheihk no thanks. I want gravity on my side haha.

[@mr_mon-eye]

aahahhahahah lol dropping the filter did make me laugh

[@rico5004]

[@PlebMotovlog]

Fuuuuuucking hell only 2.7 litres of oil. My bastard 500 takes something like 3.5 litres. Good job cause it pisses some of it on the ground. Changes its own oil so that is convenient.

[@thedirtyworkshop]

The beauty of the V twin

[@chrisb_rc]

Pleb Motovlog 2.7 with a filter change, 2.3 otherwise

[@thedirtyworkshop]

2,7 litres without a filter change 2.9 with

I have wee engine syndrome

[@assi2assi]

my ktm lc4 400 sc (single cylinder)got only 1,6 litre oil with both filter change xD

Good you left it in if del left it in it be more than 8 hours lol

[@gizzync1525]

LMAO! Now its lubed.

[@geogineer]

[@inferior650riderhd6]

when i did my first oil change i was a bit surprised when the oil started pissing out kinda like a girls first bj. So I must've accidently shifted the container underneath and dropped about a litre of old black oil onto my mum's recently cleaned driveway. Now I have an oil scar on the drive I can tell the grand kids about 👍
