I always take my skid plates off for oil and filter changes. Takes only a few minutes and makes the access to the filter a breeze and no oil gets spilled onto the skid plate making a mess.
@@jasonmorehouse3756 I can't remember, but I think I had to take one of the skid plates off to put my plow on last fall. I'll find out soon here when I take it off and get it ready for riding this summer. I can't wait.
Who really ever has a 10mm wrench or socket laying around? I don't think they even include them in sets anymore. 😕 🤣 Nice video though. Editing gets better with ever video 👌
No, I never took my front wheel off. Just the piece of plastic behind the wheel and then an oil filter wrench to get the filter off. Not the best set up at all.
That's a really good question. The only number on it is 64/14. I went to a local guy who owns his own shop and he ordered it for me. He didn't get it from Yamaha I remember him saying.
They are Maxxis MU06Y tires. They are the stock tires that came on the machine. I have 3,300 miles on them now and I'd guess I can get 4k out of them before I start thinking about new ones. I try to avoid blacktop so I know that has helped a lot. I like them a lot for a stock tire.
@@John-viheavyequipment I would as well. I bought a used Rincon once with mud tires on and all they did was wear out front end components. I won't ever make that mistake again lol
I couldn't agree more. Yamaha does so many things so well, you shouldnt have to worry about an air filter issue blowing up your engine on their products.
On partsizzilla tech vid I believe he did not put oil in the filter I usually start a second switch off 2 or 3 time to prime even in my cars always works .
Haha I really wish I knew. The filter was also on there so ridiculously tight from the factory I was forced to buy the correct filter wrench that goes on the socket because strap type and plyers type that I have wouldn't take it off.
Ciao, this is Massimo from Italy. I'm enrolled to your channel, is very interesting. And your english is pretty clear!
Thank you for the subscribing and it means a lot letting me know you like my content. And of course the English is a bonus 😀
Great job on the video you did very well. Thank you
Your welcome and thank you for the kind words.

Thanks for the idea. I may try that this next time. The oil on the skid really is annoying. Thanks for watching.
Absolutely no need to remove the skids. There's openings, you shouldn't be spoiling any oil in there.

Haha thanks. The editing is a work in progress. I luckily have old sets that I managed to not loose all the sockets yet.
When you’re digging around a cup holder for change and you come across a 10 mm socket . 🤙🏻

Hey bud what’s the part number to that crush washer for the oil drain plug
I need to get one this week so when I do, I'll see if I can get a number for it and let you know.
Part number for the oil drain plus is 214-11198-01
What size is that oil filter remover? Thx

Sir what is the Yamaha part number for the oil filter. Thanks
The yamaha filter is 5GH-13440-61
@@tgltoday2717 thank you Sir.
@@r3ddog700 your welcome. I'm just glad I could help.
Given how often we change the oil, why don't engineers place these things in easy to reach spots
What kinda tires are thos?

I bought a 2007 grizzly and it came with big mud tires I’m looking to get more stock type tires as I just trail ride might look into these
@@John-viheavyequipment oh cool. Yes I'm very pleased with them. Longest lasting stock tires I've had.
@@John-viheavyequipment I would as well. I bought a used Rincon once with mud tires on and all they did was wear out front end components. I won't ever make that mistake again lol
@@tgltoday2717 I now have a set of these tires haha great buy haha
I speak english once a month, nothing else. Massimo.
The engineer that put the filter there should be fired.

@canadian 100% why I waited till the 19s. I was no way going to risk it with one of those lol
Never put oil in the filter when installing it. You could contaminated it.
Good to know. Thank you.
Unless you own a Ram diesel then they tell you to. Darn filter holds about a quart!
Bullshit how are you contaminating it with clean fresh oil? Educate yourself bud

What kind of moron engineer would put the filter in such a location.

@@tgltoday2717 pipe wrench works as well
@@jbouchard667 good to know. I never thought to try one. Thanks.
Where else would you put it? There's literally nowhere else on the engine that there would be room
@@jasonmorehouse3756 I'm used to Honda, cartridge filter on the side of the motor. Take off 3 bolts and pop it out lol
