I would agree. It felt pretty soft. I have only seen 1 aftermarket option that was quite a bit bigger. Not sure if there are others but one that would drop into the same place without requiring rework would be a good option.
Hey Devlin, thanks for watching. I am traveling right now for work and don't have the manual with me but I believe the recommendation is every 20 hours. I will confirm when I get back home and let you know.
I just got done changing my oil and I noticed there's an extra o-ring in the oil filter box. There was an o-ring on the oil filter itself also did I mess up does this thing belong somewhere???
The oil filter had its own O ring already on it that I oiled up I'm guessing it's fine... there's no leaking. I got this from the dealer as an oil change kit maybe just extras come in the kit
@@danpmatz It's possible then that it was just an extra though still seems weird. The filter should already have it's own O ring gasket. Not sure why they would provide an extra. I get the extra crush washer in a kit but O ring seems strange. Did you check the old filter to make sure it didn't fall off when removing? I have had that happen to me before. Also had one stick to the surface of the block on my car once.
@@RoughRidersTV it was in a plastic wrapper. The O-ring and both Jam washers or each in their own individual packages. But the oil filter itself already had an o-ring on I remember oiling it up so I'm sure it's okay
I changed oil today and after I drained it, I added nearly two and half quarts, then instead of revving the engine 3-5 times, I let it idle for about 30 seconds before I added the last little bit.( i filled oil filter with oil like you said). Do you think that was ok? It rode excellent!
The worst part of the job is putting the skid plate back on. Terrible design by Yamaha for not including an access panel below the oil filter and drain plug. Ridiculous.
My tip is take your impact you have and loosen that oil tank bolt. I do it all the time and it's such a fast jolt to loosen it doesn't bend
Good tip. Thanks for sharing
That tank is a candidate for an aftermarket tank with thicker walls.

Very detailed! Thank you!
Awesome tutorial I appreciate the video it helped me out a lot
You are welcome. Enjoy that YXZ.
THANK YOU.. GREAT TUTORIAL 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Do you actually have to warm it up??
You don’t have to but it does help it thin out so it flows out easier. I do it with all my vehicles as it gets more of the old oil out.
How often do you change the oil/ transmission oil and diff oil on these things? My machine has 2800 miles on it.

Hmm, odd. How big was the O Ring? This should be no different than doing an oil change on a car. No extra O Ring should be anywhere.
In the Box for the oil filter it look like an oil filter o-ring and then two other washers looks like possibly extra drain plug washers

Maybe your next video could be tie rod adjustment? Going straight down the road my steering wheel is a little to the left? THANKS BRO!
Mine was the same way, I read allot are. I just took the steering wheel off and moved it on notch on the spline, Its perfectly straight now.
Cant wait!!
How easy was it? Any videos? I started doing mine a month ago and could pull the steering wheel off lol didnt want to break it

Can't disagree. That was the hardest part.
