Yamaha XT250 Oil Change and Oil Filter Replacement

- I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT WHEN YOU CHANGE YOUR OIL FILTER AND REFILL YOUR BIKE YOU'LL NEED TO CHECK THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL AGAIN AFTER YOU'VE WARMED THE BIKE UP. THE OIL FILTER WILL SOAK UP SOME OIL AND MAKE YOUR OIL LEVEL READ LOW. ADD MORE OIL ACCORDINGLY.

Hey guys in this video I show you how I change my oil and oil filter on my 2015 Yamaha Xt250. I use the factory service manual as a guide and stray as necessary.

i know its an old vid but still very useful thanks bud just did my first oil change on my XT250 this vid made it a breeze!!
Good instruction. I love the engineering of Yamaha. They are the best in everything they do.
I just bought a 2014 XT250 yesterday. Love your videos, keep em coming. Thanks Dude!
Thanks. Appreciate your taking the time to make the video. I plan on throwing a small plastic drop cloth under the work area to keep the oil off the garage floor.
Great vid! Appreciate it! That exhaust sounds great.
Just did this today. Watched this a few times not that I needed to, but its helpful to see others do the same. Mine filled about 1 qt 10oz with filter change instead of the manual's 1 qt 12 oz with filter change or 1 qt 8 oz without. Only thing you didn't do is torque the "Oil filter element drain bolt" filler bolt to spec, 7.2 ft-lb like the cover bolts.
Great instructional video. Very clear and concise.
Top video and illustration.
Good job and keep uploading more videos.
Excellent video! thanks!
Awesome vid broski!!! Love your channel 😎😉
Great video thanks for making it.
Awesome video
Excellent job. Congratulations from russia fans! )
Informative
Thank you!
Thank you mon good vid!
Good job.👍🏼
13k on a 15' damn. Picked up a 05 xt225 2 years ago and had it serviced with just over 6k miles. Only put on 400 miles being a new riding taking it once a week for joy rides.
Thanks brother
THANKS!!!
thank you
Nice video man thank you just wondering how much oil my machine has after I came back from the shop and got the 600 mi brake in service wondering if it has too little oil
Was very useful
You’re welcome!
Go to harbor freight and buy the thickest disposable rubber gloves. Helps with the hot oil on the hands
So tell us where you got the panniers/mounts. Looks like a nice one.
With the xt225 and the xt250, I've filled the oil to the top of the glass view window many times with no problems. I generally find the bike will lose or burn a little oil over time and bring the oil down to about 3/4ths of the view window anyways....
great video. If anyone knows where to get a replacement o ring, please drop a link!
every time i change the oil in my xt i just lean it on the wall the get it more level to check the oil level while putting in the oil
What is on the inside of your right side rack?
Good video as always.
Keep em coming.
I guess you can't really tell what it is hahahhaa. It's a wolfman tool roll. It has all of my basic maintenance tools in there.
I was looking at what looks like a small U shaped "shelf" on the "inside" of the R Rack. @ 3:40
Did that come on the side racks?
That’s why she started rattling on your trip, it wasn’t the high temps.
Oil and filters are cheap and easy to change. I change both oil and filter every 3000 miles using the recommended oil and filter.
screw every 3000 miles, i just bought a brand new xt250 and im gunna change it when i first ride and then after the first 100 miles and then after the first 500 miles and then ill change it every 3 months during riding season
tank2449 same here. And using Yamaha’s full synthetic.
Where did you get your windshield? Or did you make it?
Thanks for video.
I just got 2018 xt-250 and need to do first oil change.
Was wondering what oil and filter you used and where I could order it.
I'm guessing ny bike and yours use same oil and filter.
Thanks
I was wondering the same, maybe you could tell me what oil filter you ended up buying? Thank you
Друг, подскажи пожалуйста, колеса подойдут от Yamaha xt250 на Yamaha xt 250x motard?
Please help me Where is oil filter on xt125
The oil filter cover bolts are VERY easy to strip the threads. Ask me how I know. Thank God for helicoils.
Yes, especially the upper left one. Unless Yamaha addressed this issue on later models? Mine was a 2009 model.
you stated 3 o rings and showed us 1. Are there 3? did the o rings come with your new filter?
Just the opposite on this maintenance. Because it's ridden fairly hard in the dirt, I changed oil and filter at 250 and 600 miles. Both times the oil looked worse than his did at 13K.. From now on I'll feel comfortable changing it every 1K or every season whichever comes first. You can buy part synthetic MA2 oil and proper filter on sale for about $ 15 a change.. I've always felt the first few oil changes were the most important.. Hard for me to believe anyone actually didn't change oil for 13K miles.
Hello, I am interested in getting a Yamaha XT250. I saw that on your multifunction instrument display had a gear indicator which, I think, the new model doesn't not have. I thought the bikes of today all had fuel gauges and gear shift indicators. Did the one you have come with the bike or was there some kind of upgrade? Thanks.
The xt’s only have a neutral light, there is no fuel gauge on these bikes
Just do it, dang
hi bro thx so much for tutorial ...i ve a tt350 87 , suggest to remove old oring for a new? or no need to change them , i don t have drop on cup
I’d put on a new oring, when rubber gets that old all bets are off when you break the seal.
What size Allen socket for filter cap screws.
An answer would be appreciated
5MM
KN-140?
After adding oil, you must run the bike until the oil light goes out, wait ten minutes and recheck oil level. Level will almost always be lower because now the filter has been filled.
Thanks for the video. I have two questions.
1. I see that your xt is CA like mine with a carbon canister. Did you have to do anything to make that skid plate fit?
2. I look online and can't seem to find a hard copy of the service manual for my 2017.
Hey Dru! I have a video on my channel for the install of the plate including relocating the canister. I think I had to buy my FSM off of ebay.
@@NoOnesWatching0_0 Thanks for the replied.
@@NoOnesWatching0_0 Didn't you sell your XT? If you don't own your xt any more do you want to sell me your manual? Post it on ebay and send me the link and I'll buy it. Thanks.
I know it's a year later but if you are looking for a factory service manual you can download the pdf for free from Yamaha motorsports.com
@@willritchie2283 hahahaha yes super late 😂!! I sold that tank and upgraded! Thanks for the replied regardless is the thought that count fellow motorcycle rider! Ride safe cheers 🍻!
Good idea to start the bike after all this and check the oil level once more. It will drop a minuscule amount once the oil filter is saturated and may hold some oil in the filter/ filter housing.
I have an eye-hook in the top of my garage that I just tie a rope to my bike from. Acts as a jack stand.
Did u get the copper seal thing in the bottom drain plug.
Owen Bonnell that’s what I was wondering. I bout a copper washer for mine anyways
You can see copper washer at 8:30 but I don't think he replaced it. The manual says to inspect the washer and replace if needed. Some people recommend changing it every other oil change, just like they do with the oil filter, every other oil change. A filter and washer are cheap enough that you can replace it every oil change, ~10 bucks total from a dealer.
I heard those oil filters you can clean it and reuse it
You can also clean and reuse old engine oil. It never wears out, it just gets dirty. Clean the oil and it’s good as new.
Hey what are the tiers your using on your bike. I have an 08 xt and want to know what are good dual sport tires.
I'm using the Continental TwinDuro TKC-80 set. I highly recommend them for highway and hard packed dirt. These things are way better than the Shinko 804/805s I put on after my original tires went out.
NoOnesWatching hey man I love the video but I was wondering what burnt you’re back fender that bad. Obviously the exhaust but do you have the spark arrester in or no?
Yeah I do have a spark arrestor installed. Honestly I have no idea what did it. I've heard plenty of conflicting reports between the fender being absolutely perfect with the fmf and it being worse than mine.
@@NoOnesWatching0_0 Did you use the spacer with the FMF? They had to include a spacer due to it melting the back fender. It angles it out so the fender is better protected.
yoo.. what kind of seat do you use for comfort?
In other video, he said its "seat concept". About 200 US dollars. I hope that help.
Where were the 3 "O" rings? I only saw one. The gaskets on the filter don't count. Also, all oil should be detergent oil. What you don't want in a motorcycle is friction modifiers like in car oil. So use only oil designed for wet clutches. Good video otherwise.
Omg pain in the butt to put oil drain bolt back with the skidplate there. I had to take plate off
Hello, I had seen a few of your videos when I was in the market to buy a Yamaha XT250 and even bought a gear shift indicator for it on-line. However, I discovered and started looking into the Kawasaki Versys X-300 which I purchased about a month ago. The gear shift indicator cost me $53 but I am willing to send it to you, no charge, as long as I can find a good home for it. The Versys X-300 had this feature and fuel gauge standard in its instrument panel. So, if you would like to have it, get back to me, through the email of youtube, I'll get your address and send it to you or I can give you my phone number. Whichever is easier. I live in Tucson AZ. If you are ever in this area, about 8 hours from LA, I can give it to you. It hasn't even been out of the box. Take care.
Whenever you're doing torque wrenching, it's best to do up smaller increments and do opposites rather than full load on one
Thanks bro ! Now I know how to do mine !
Check out my XT250 !
Or just lean h as ndle bar against a wall
That poor bike 😆
after I drain the oil I usually start the bike, rev it up, then shut it off to really get all the oil out. I also change my oil every 1000 miles and oil filter every 2 thousand miles. Might be excessive maintenance but I love working on my bikes!
Collin Mac Please tell me you were kidding, like Noone was kidding about changing his oil for the first time at 13K! I get my bike really warm before pulling the (hot) drain plug. To get all of the oil out I move the bike off of the center stand, and slowly lean it to both sides multiple times. It's amazing how much oil is still in there!
Matthew Davis by rev it up I twist the throttle about 3 or 4 times to about 3k rpm. No bike I have owned has ever been damaged this way. Plus it got the oil out consistently.
+Collin Mac yeah my usual oil change routine varies but it really depends on the weather and how much I'm riding. What oil are you running?
+Matthew Davis that's a great idea tipping the bike side to side, I can't believe I've never thought of that!

dry clutch bikes get Mobil 1(preferably non synthetic) 0w 20 or 5w 15. My wet clutches usually get 10w 40 full synthetic. The 10w 40 on my xt felt butter smooth and seemed to run best with it. If I used any other grades it just felt "off".
must be comedy - not going to listen to anyone who admits he doesn't know what he is doing... or he has more money than he can count cuz a 5k bike means nothing to him
The show in the beginning was unnecessary. Not funny nor witty... i suggest dropping that approach for future videos. But thanks for the informative part.
Lighten up a bit ma’am
