I thought I would do a how to video on changing the oil on my bike.

Looks easy. Now all I have to do is do it. Thanks for the how-to.
Thanks bernbo for showing this video on how to change the oil in a 650… that’ll be my next task very soon. Looks easy
@73FIREful Right on, yah, it is surely something for the do it yourself.
@seemeontv Right on Brother.
Thanks for the video!! I can change the oil in my car I figured I could do my bike as well ! Nice job!
@StacyLynn2204 Right on, thank you.
Thanks for the video!
@Limit67 Right on, hope it helped you out.
Good useful video, however i would use a box wrench on the drain plug.
But i would still rate it 4 out of 5 stars. : )
@roel2055 Funny you say that, I bought a box end wrench after that oil change, because it felt like I was going to round out that bolt. Your right though. I don’t recommend using an open end wrench. Thank you for your kind comment.
great video! helped a lot! what brand of oil do you recommend?
@philippestrapko1 I would use what the manufacture recommends, yamalube 20w-40/API, that way you can’t go wrong. Thank you for your kind comment & ride safe.
Good video, I just got a new 2011 V Star 950 a few weeks ago. Do you suppose that this oil change procedure is still the same as your 650?
What year is this Yamaha 650?
@mcbachase It;s a 2004.
Thanks very much. Mine is a 2005, so I probably don’t have to drop the pipes on mine right? I was told I had to, but yours looks like mine. I want to put on some aftermarket pipes next season. Any suggestions?
@mcbachase That’s right, you don’t have to drop your pipes, on the 1100 vstar you do, I really like the Vance & Hines slip ons, they have a nice low rumble to them.
Fantastic video i have a 2010 650 v star has mine got the site glass so i can check oil level because i was wondering how to check oil i will be doing my own oil changes how long did it take, motor bike shop in my town said it takes a couple of hours
Regards Anthony
@Farmer2492 Thank you, yes your’s has the site glass too, the whole job was about 1/2 hour to 45 mins, that’s great the video could help you out, take care.
Thanks very much, much appreciated.
Take care Anthony.
