Yamaha Raider 2008-2017 gear/transfer case oil Fluid change

[@whoopdebefreekjesus]

Thanks for all your maintenance videos Joel! Tips: There will be less overflow if the exact amount of oil is put in, measured before pouring (.58 quart) rather than having a bunch of oil seeping out of the overflow hole and extra oil in your fill spout. Also, put some aluminum foil over the brake lines and make a funnel so the oil hits the foil and runs down and doesn't pour all over the brake lines.

Since there are no videos on the Raider maintenance online, this is one of many great informative videos you have shared! Thanks Joel.

Saludos desde Puerto Rico perdona la molestia podrías hacer un video de estos en español

[@markmarangi73]

It’s actually the gear/transfer case oil you’re changing. The transmission is lubed by the engine oil.

[@joelsuarez4251]

Sorry my mistake but the video speaks for it self.

[@mummyjohn]

can anyone explain how there's a transfer case on a one-wheel drive vehicle? What does it even mean in this context?

[@cathyberry8400]

The stratoliner exhaust is wayyy closer to that hex bolt than yours. Even if you cut an allen down, it will hit the pipe as soon as you start to back out that bolt im pretty sure. Ive cut one down as short as possible and it still touches that pipe. Yamaha sure screwed up those bikes with that exhaust. oh welllll good reason to order a Cobra exhaust ;)

[@jeffkeni]

I didn't own my Strat long enough to need to change the transfer case oil but it looked like a daunting task. I always lamented the fact the (factory) exhaust would have to be pulled. Yamaha probably wanted to generate business for their dealership's service department. (Ditto for Honda: 3 hours to disassemble and reassemble the Goldwing's exoskeleton just to change the air filter!)

[@whoopdebefreekjesus]

Very much appreciate the instructional video. How often/when does this oil change need to happen?

[@joelsuarez4251]

Around 3500 miles, this is an air cool Engine oil does gets extremely hot!

[@tombaily29]

​@@joelsuarez4251you do not need to change transfer case oil that frequently. Engine oil gets changed every 4k miles and transfer case oil gets changed every 16k miles.

[@greggjarvis133]

Great video. What is the oil capacity about 1 quart?

[@joelsuarez4251]

Never really measured I just wait till it drips from the upper over fill hole!

[@mrpabs5864]

.75 quart

[@alexg3148]

hi, Do you have a video how to cut the original exhaust? that looks amazing, thanks

[@joelsuarez4251]

Thanks but no, I didn't video that process as I was just messing with it didn't know how it would turn out. But the process is quite Simple as long the righ cutting machine is use.

how often this oil should be changed ?

[@joelsuarez4251]

I won't go pass 15K or once a year.

[@TruckingJocker]

How do you check the level oil?

[@joelsuarez4251]

All you can do is open up the overflow and see if fluids comes out, make sure the bike is level. Same way you check a shaft drive system!

[@roarinblaze982]

How's the bike been after

[@joelsuarez4251]

Perfect

@@joelsuarez4251 great to hear I just need to get mine done now hopefully in the next few days

[@hadusgarage1651]

engine and Transmission are togather. what are you doing?

[@joelsuarez4251]

if u was to watch this entire video you will notice there is a section for the transmission for fluid Better read your owners Manual! This Yamaha is not like every other metric motorcycle is belt driven and Air cool -Push rod Engine!! Very similar to the HD Engine configuration.

Joel Suarez have you ever consider putting 10-12” bars on it? I’m thinking bout doing it to mine. Just want to get your opinion about it. Like pros & cons... great videos, gracias por subirlos
