Keep in mind if you're using the oil dipstick that came with the bike, it's no longer accurate. 09'+ models came with a shorter dipstick that essentially adds more oil. There are threads on triumph forums that get into detail. The "full" mark on the old style dipstick is roughly where the "minimum" mark is on the new one, so don't be afraid to 'ovefill' a bit.

my 675 street takes 3.5 lt.

[@michaelrullis7501]

Gerry Long my 09 D675 takes roughly 3.5l. Where im at the top line on the dipstick

[@dedeleke808]

Hey just a good tip whenever you change your oil after refilling with new oil it’s good to run the bike before you close up the fairings and check the oil level once again because the oil circulates and fills up the oil filter then check the oil level again and add a little more because the oil level will be a little lower and also check out NMF (no more friction) I’ve noticed a substantial temperature drop in the bike and also less engine Wear and you see that in the oil over time using the NMF it’s worth a look at

[@JJslomo]

Also I always prime the oil filter by filling it with new oil before installing.

[@Tuukkis]

Loved this. Easy to follow. Also the automatic captions were perfect when you gave it a few revs, and it said [music] :'D

[@pufferfish5980]

thanks for the comprehensive walkthrough now i can work on mine as well!!

[@Mhmv]

Pete Yu same here

[@alessandradejesus8968]

Thank you so much! This is perfect! My first bike was a Ninja 300 too, haha!

[@bobbywalsh7767]

Hey, I was wondering, do you even have to take right fairing off?? Seems like it wasn’t needed…

[@ramwilkinson]

Same as my Street Triple just a lot less plastic to remove. Great video my man 🤙

[@holthuizenoemoet591]

One more tip, remove the oil fill cap during draining, that will speed it up a little. Great video non the less.

[@MarketManiaCA]

Quick idea for everyone you could use that 200ml of extra oil to flush it at the start and then just leave the filter in and drain plug out and run the oil through. Thanks for the great video. Getting my Daytona 675 in a couple of weeks. Were you using a flat blade to pop those push clips out on the bottom to get the fairing out?

[@1997obspsd]

Lubricating the oring on the oil filter isn't for sealing better but for actually getting it off easier.

[@UVjoint]

Nice video! I really liked your whole Daytona series of videos, especially coz I'm contemplating getting one and I'm worried about maintenance costs, part costs, and availability, etc. The location of the oil drain bolt is a great design choice, coz the oil would drain downwards while the bolt comes off horizontally. I'd guess that's much less messy. I had a Suzuki GSX650F which had it on the bottom of the crankcase. I've seen several cars with the same location, so I'm assuming many other bikes have it in the same place. When the bolt is removed, it's directly in the oil drain path. Additionally, on the Suzuki, the oil filter was above the exhaust runners, so there was no way to avoid some oil getting on them, even if I covered them. Nice common sense design on the Triumph, IMO. This video definitely added one point in the positives column for the Triumph. Just a tip for the next time - since engine oil is designed to get into tiny crevices and be sticky, especially at operating temperatures, I think getting it on bare hands might be really risky. Best wear gloves, coz the oil could be hot too. Also, opening the fill plug when draining the old oil would drain a little more oil, probably coz the pressure equalizes on both ends.

[@erichughes94]

Just started watching KZbin videos, I’ll give you a follow. Good video man!

[@mikehoskin1674]

do you not have the bits of plastic on either side of your radiator to take off?

[@KingRider_Biker]

You don’t need take fairings out but without them for sure is more comfortable and more space for replacing filter but it’s not must have. Regards

[@mmontero15]

Hi. What oil filter did you use?

[@RidingJapan]

u didn t run it first and then checked the level again?

[@Motoposh]

I did yes. It'll always be a bit lower once you run it

[@migliuspaunksnis1509]

very informative video, good job

[@EmilBurganov]

It took me an hour to take the fairing off my 675 today. Jesus hahahaha

[@michaelrullis7501]

AdventureOnTWOwheels * it will get easier! We have it easier than most full fairing bikes! Keep wrenching my boi!

[@thenightmare7373]

Thank you!!!! Do you by chance know how much antifreeze the bike takes? I’m trying to look up forms but can’t find anything

[@michaelrullis7501]

Trent Deal my 2009 D675 took a half gallon of engine ice, i bought two so i can refill after a track day.

[@freezy4207]

The owner manual says to leave our Daytona on the side stand when changing the oil. Does that matter seeing as you didn't?

[@McAdamsMechanics]

The leaning makes sure the oil slides out of the engine area and comes out the pan. But realistically its not the endbof the world because the new stuff mixes with it and dilutes it. Just change it a tad bit sooner and itll be okay. Then do it on the stand next time ✌️

[@PP19993]

dope vids man!!!

[@Motoposh]

Thanks!

[@ronakdparikh]

great vid, thanks. do you get amazon affiliate commissions from the links? i want to use that oil filter you mentioned but your link is broken and want to make sure you get paid if you have that set up?

[@Motoposh]

Slice and Dice or Hang and Bang Thanks! And I do yeah haha I'll fix it quick!

[@Motoposh]

Thanks for the heads up, the link should be fixed now. I guess K&N had a bad batch a filters recently and their amazon listing got removed. I replaced it with a HiFlo brand which are good as well. Thanks for your comment!

[@theworldsokayestmichigande851]

Is that a dark red 73 bronco I see in the back?

[@Motoposh]

+Teenaged tinkerer It is!

[@theworldsokayestmichigande851]

MotoPosh F*** yeah!

[@funnystuff8572]

What are the 2 bikes in the back Great vid, does it work with dirt bikes (4 stroke)

[@Motoposh]

+Funny Stuff not mine but there's a DRZ FZ1 and a sv650

[@funnystuff8572]

Thanks

[@droidtigger]

Take a drink every time he says Daytona. PS, thanks.

[@bryanj4811]

Hey man i just bought a 2008 675, is it normal that first gear is up and the rest down? Or did they mess around with it to make it like that? Please let me know

[@Motoposh]

That's not the stock setup but it's something called motogp style shifting. The previous owner must have converted it. You could easily switch it back to the normal 1 down 5 up shifting if you wanted. Congrats on your purchase man, ride safe!

[@bryanj4811]

MotoPosh Thanks man i was worried, you're a cool dude! How would i change it back to stock? Thanks man

[@Motoposh]

To switch back to stock you'll just want to loosen your shifter linkage and rotate it 180 degrees flipping the linkage to the other side. (Its located on the shaft that comes out of your transmission and connects to your shifter linkage, the shaft has little grooves on it)

[@bryanj4811]

MotoPosh i wasnt able to do it, do you have a email so i can send you pictures, maybe you understand it better?

[@Motoposh]

Sure send me a few pictures here: [e-mail]

[@zackdavis3986]

The oil on my Daytona is very watery looking and has a very faint gasoline smell, I don’t think it’s a leaky injector because the gas smell is so faint , and I read it’s somewhat common to have a faint gas smell caused by blow by, but I don’t know why it looks so clear

[@Motoposh]

Yeah no, the only way gas could get in your oil is from blow by or your piston rings/compression failing. What kind of oil do you use? I use full synthetic (the best) and it does appear to be more runny, it's normal, the color should be light yellow definitely not clear. There's no milkiness is there or burnt smell? If you have a picture and want a second opinion send it my way: [e-mail]

[@zackdavis3986]

MotoPosh I’ll email you a picture here shortly , but I just bought the bike like a month ago so I personally haven’t done an oil change on it, but it has 13k miles , has all the original papers and manuals and service records and everything. The bike is in perfect condition for a 2007, and I can tell it’s been meticulously cared for. The guy said the last oil change was less then 1000 miles ago

[@Motoposh]

I took a look at your email, I'd say its fine. Just looks like really lightly used clean synthetic oil to me. If it was me, I'd do an oil change anyway, use that Mobile 1 4t racing oil (super good stuff)! You're in good shape, have fun on that Daytona!

[@zackdavis3986]

MotoPosh well that’s a relief lol I actually ordered some of that exact oil for store pickup and I’m going to get it after work and changing it , thanks for the help man, I hope your channel continues to grow! You deserve it

[@khizarvlogs]

dude you need to get shorty levers. they are much cooler then stock

[@CendaSmogS]

how often do you change your oil in 675?

[@Motoposh]

once a year, or every 5000 miles

[@michaelrullis7501]

If you ride hard I suggest changing every 1,000mi. Or every track day. Heat breaks down the viscosity of the oil. Bikes have a lot more friction than cars especially since the transmission uses the same oil. Friction causes heat and heat brakes down oil.

[@jonathankarlsen6996]

Thanks! Very easy to follow.
