First oil change on 2021 Yamaha RMAX 1000 XT-R (step by step)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 окт 2020
- Well, 51 miles on the old piece... Time to change the factory fill. Certainly not the most easy oil change I've done... So make sure you watch the video and that way you're prepared... There are 5 total drains to pull and then the filter. You might need some tools. I'll post Amazon affiliate links below. Next time I do this, I'm not even going to mess with the oil cooler lines. I'll just dump the oil from the tank and engine. Add 2 quarts to engine fill and then 2 quarts to oil tank and call it good. Please make sure that you're using genuine Yamaha parts and filters. They really don't cost that much and they are made for the machine you're working on! Any questions, just ask! Thanks for watching!

Glad someone got a giggle out of that. I should have moved the camera so you could see how much of a goof I looked like, but I didn't want to get demonetized, lol!
Just got mine back from the dealer for an oil change, 215 dollars, never again! Thanks to this video
Yeah, that is WAY too much! Once you change the oil a few times, you'll see it isn't that bad of a job. I know the 4 seater is a bit more tricky, but I'm a big believer in trying to do your own maintenance, that way you know it's done properly. Thank you for watching, I appreciate it!
I pick mine up Thursday! First service is 20 hours according to dealer, then 100 hours. I purchased the 4 year bumper to bumper warranty for 1,800, a windshield with wiper, and rear view mirror. Will get the winch and spare tire in a couple of months. Cannot wait!
Sounds good! I am still on the fence about the YES warranty. I have time to purchase it still, so I just may get it since this is a pretty expensive and new machine... I too will get a spare for it! Looking forward to more mods! Thank you for watching!
I just finished my first oil change. The video really helped cut my time down. The trough trick is great, really saves you from making a mess. Keep up the good work and enjoy your beast. Love mine...
Great machine for sure! I'm happy this video has helped you out! Thank you so much for watching!
MN oh man I thought my X3 oil change was tedious 😆. Lord have mercy. Still would love to add a Rmax to my collection. Always have a soft spot for yamaha as I grew up with them. This is the unit I've been waiting for them to make.
It's a great machine for sure man! I love it! Does everything pretty well and is built like a battleship! If you get a chance, for sure take on for a rip! Thanks for watching!
Most unprofessional, yet realistic instructional video ever 😁
LOL! Thanks for watching!
I just picked up my R Max 4 yesterday. Have not even drove it yet. I am setting up my 4 post lift first before even drive my machine so I can be ready for services. Great video. Does not look too horribly bad to me
Thanks again for watching, yeah, it's not terrible the lift will make some things a bit easier for sure! You're going to love the machine!
This is the most reliable oil system you can get for engine longevity though. A reservoir/pump garuntees even oil distribution and lubrication even when you're on a steep incline!
An oil pan and pump from the bottom doesn't do much when you're going up a steep climb. All the oil is at the back of the engine starving the engine of oil up front.
For sure man! Yamaha did their homework when they designed this engine for sure! Thank you so much for watching!
Drinking a beer eating pizza using the pc to look up the how To's in the shed/garage. All men need their man cave. Having an awesome UTV to work on now that's living. Sounds like a fun time to me. There's not that many RMAX owners posting there videos online. There has to be a lot of owners these buggy's look very capable in their stock form. From my research on the different types of sport UTV's the RMAX looks to be the best. There are a lot of reviews after you've seen one talking about all the features you really need a owners review to get a sense what you're spending 20k. My local dealership will let me drive the Buggy around the parking lot and some of the dirt roads nearby. I told them bring a ranger xp 1000, the general xp 1000 and this rmax 2 out to my property you all can ride have a blast. I'll drive each one of them by the end of the day I'll know exactly which machine I want to buy. Guess that is beyond their abilities. I told them I got a go pro and autonomous drones send these units out I'll review them for your dealership with a farmer's perspective. Have your mechanics tell me about the break in period. I can follow the guidelines. It's an untapped market. Every farmer needs an ATV or side by side we just work hard for our money and have learned to make do with what we got. Most of us buy used cheaper models that get the job done. We got phones and internet access, so we've got an eye on the best UTV's/ATVS, but we'd rather spend the money on something farm related. Doesn't mean we are cheap with no money to spend on a new side by side. It just means we don't want some snake oil and fancy words trying to convince us to buy one. Listening to those guys talk makes me want to punch them in the mouth. When I'm ready to buy I don't need convincing. If we got a buddy or neighbor that farms with a new side by side, we'll ask about that get his or her opinion drive it and if we like most of the time we drive to town and buy one. In my opinion dealerships should find a way to work with landowners to showcase the models that are currently in the market. As a farmer I've been raised to treat equipment with respect cause I'm the one fixing it, so we drive ATVs/UTVS at a controlled pace knowing its limits not pushing those. My ATV is 5 years old starts like a new one I've had it in the mud, rain, snow to Colorado 3x. What breaks I fix nothing major great machine. Every friend that I've got that is a farmer who owns a side by side or ATV they don't rip around on it full on every time to see how fast it can go or if it's a good rock climber. What we care about is it reliable, can it mud and get me to my pivots, how's the ride quality, is it simple for maintenance, are the parts expensive? is there aftermarket support to modify to make it better. What is the customer support like at the dealership and company? How's the warranty? I wouldn't dare take my pickup to check a pivot, but I'll take my ATV. We use it as an extension of ourselves to maximize the efficiency of our operation. The only thing else to get you to a pivot is a tractor that's 4wd the ruts left are huge, so we drive our ATV's and Side by sides. Every time I get a smile on my face it's fun to rip it. Worse thing about mudding is the power washing afterwards. Maybe I'll get smart and use my drones to observe the pivots. I got land to be used for UTV/ATV riding because I ride ATVS all over it. Made my own trail system here along the river and all across all pasture property's that is actually a fun ride. They want me to spend 20k+ on one of these machines I'm going to need a push in that direction. I want reviews from owners that drive these buggies.
Thank you so very much for the comments! I agree with you 1000% on everything, reviews from REAL people are worth more than anything else. I too live in farm country (and thank you by the way for being a farmer) and I make sure to tell all of my farm friends what works and what doesn't. This RMAX has been one hell of a great machine. I don't think I'd want to use it day in and day out on a farm, but it could do it. This machine is VERY capable and has been clawhammer reliable. I haven't had to fix anything on it, just basic maintenance. Most of the Japanese machines are like that. They just keep going, unless your abusing the machine. Even the best more rugged stuff can break with a jackass behind the wheel.
Soon, I'll be making a video about the RMAX, long term, since I'v e had it for almost 4 years now compared to a Kawasaki KRX that we acquired about 5 months ago. I'm going to talk about maintenance and other things, so I encourage you to subscribe for that. Again, thank you for watching and commenting!
Thanks for taking the time to post this! I Am planning on buying the exact model that you have, the XTR. I had no idea that changing the oil has that many steps, let alone 5 bolts to remove! Looks like I have some knowledge on how to do it now. Thanks!
Thank you so much for watching! And yeah, it's a bit of a pain, but not bad now. I'm glad that this video is helpful! You're going to love your RMAX! Some more content is on the way, consider subscribing! Thanks again!
Spend a little more and get the LE. It’s very worth it. You’ll be very happy either way.
I'm gearing up to do the first change in my new XTR and this video is very helpful! Had me laughing hard as well! Thumbs up and subscribed.
Glad you found the video helpful! And thank you so much for watching, I'll try to get some more RMAX content out, but I'm usually pretty busy in the summer time! Hope you enjoy your new machine! And thanks for the sub, that means a lot!
Damn. Just bought one of these. Been changing oil on a Polaris ranger 1000 xp. Takes 10 minutes total. 1 bolt, very easily accessible oil filter. This looks like real pain in the ass. And changing oil after 50 miles? I put 77 on mine the day I got it. Lol. I’ll do my first one at 25 hours. Every 75 after that. Very helpful video. Now I can do this with no instruction manual! Thank you.
Congrats on the new rig!!! I LOVE my RMAX, I think I love it more every time I drive the thing!
Yeah, oil changes sort of suck on this thing, sounds like the Ranger was SUPER easy, I like that! And when you make it easy to do, you'll do it more often... But after a few times, the change on the RMAX isn't terrible, just takes a bit of time! Thank you so much for the kind words and watching my video, it's greatly appreciated!
@@BarnStangz I love my rmax btw. I still have the 2019 ranger Xp but this a huge step up in every possible way.
@@Van1018s Oh yeah, Yamaha was really swinging for the fences with the RMAX, I'm very impressed with it and most people are blown away when they take mine for a spin.
thank you for taking the time ...happy trails from quebec
Thank you so much for the kind words and watching! It means a lot!
Thanks for the helpful information! I had a few laughs with your commentary as well.
Glad you enjoyed it! And I'm glad that you found it helpful as well! I'm going to perform a full maintenance on my RMAX this month since we're heading to Hatfield in April! Thanks again for watching!
Cool beans bro, you'll shave that time down by half next change and some more off of it the time after that. I agree with you on the cooler lines, I don't think I'd be messing with them especially after a year or two. Doesn't look like a lot of metal there, after a couple hundred heat cycles, in and out a couple dozen times, threads could get sketchy LoL. Oil and filters are cheap compared to an engine job. Change it often, should not ever have a sludge issue. I am impressed with the 4 liter capacity and an oil cooler. Best of luck.
Cheers from the great white north.
Thanks for watching brother! Appreciate it and I 100% agree with you and those oil cooler lines... Keeping the oil fresh and clean will make that mill last a LONG time!
most excellent sounding machine..
Indeed it is! Thanks for watching!
Good video! Very similar to X4 850 but with two more additional drain bolts in oil cooler lines. Not complicated but def time consuming. Thanks for making this vid.
Is the X4 dry sump as well? Thanks for watching, really appreciate it!
@@BarnStangz yes a dry sump as well. Very similar and time consuming!
@@maineiac8609 Very interesting, I didn't know, but come to think of it, it makes sense since this 1000 engine is based off the 850. I think with a few more oil changes I'll get fast at it, lol!
Every time you do a change you’ll get better and faster at it!
Thanks man! I hope so! Appreciate the view!
Thanks dude. What a pain... 5 bolts! Gotta get ready for this one. 🤣
Thanks for watching! Don't waste your time with the small drains on the oil cooler. After a few times, the oil change goes a bit quicker.
Great video thanks for sharing with us. Also really enjoyed your comedy!! 😜🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed it and than you so much for watching!
Badass video thanks helped me on my first oil change
Wow man! Thanks a lot! I really appreciate all the kind words! Glad it helped you out!
Who at Yamaha thunk this up. A 5 pt. oil drain. Come on Yamaha. For what you are charging for these thigs you could have plumbed all of the engine and cooler drains together to one low point drain and just put petcocks at each drain local.
That would be ideal for sure! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Thanks for sharing! Well worth the time
Thank you for watching! I really appreciate it! I hope it helps out a lot of people!
Nicely done. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching, really appreciate it!
5 bolts? No fn way!! I'll wait for the new Kawasaki.
You really don't have to drain the oil cooler lines, I feel like that is a waste of time. So then it would just be the 2 at the bottom of that crank case and then the oil tank. Not terrible, but not quick and easy. What is this new Kawi?
You haven't changed oil on a Honda Pioneer 1000 5 seater before. This looks easy! 😅 3 drain plugs, and both filters are behind metal covers held on by 3 screws each and a spring behind the cover pushing in on the filter.
I'll have to watch a video about that one! I don't why OEM's don't think about us guys doing the damn maintenance! I guess it really isn't all that bad on the RMAX.
@@BarnStangz lol they are making these this way to keep you from changing it and bringing it to them. Just a hunch
Wow, half the day. Nice job bud.
Dr. G!!! Thanks for watching! Yeah, this wasn't an easy oil change, that's for sure! I think it'll go a bit quicker next time however! Hope all is well on your end!
Check the oil before you drain it , then measure how much drained out . Just a suggestion , I would love to have one of these , too many toys now.
I actually did this, but I didn't mention it in the video. I pulled out almost 4 quarts, but I didn't account for the oil filter. Looks like great minds think alike! Thank you very much for watching!
Let us know if the 2 quart in each spot works out for you. Would be a much simpler oil change out if it works.
I will for sure! I'm coming up on doing an oil change here soon, probably in the next month or two. Thanks for watching.
Five plugs? What was Yamaha thinking? Thanks for making this video.
Thanks for watching, I appreciate it greatly! And yeah, the oil change on this thing isn't the best. I don't mess with the oil cooler drains at all now... I can get it down to about 30 minutes or so... The oil filter for some reason likes to get tighter every time however, so you need to bust out gorilla strength to get it off...
good video I'm about to buy one I think the one with 4 seats
Thank you so much for watching you're going to love it! I really feel like this engine combo is perfect, super nice mix of work and play!
You’re the man
Thanks for watching!
Easy job
Now that I've done it a few times, it's easier for sure. Thank you so much for watching, it's greatly appreciated!
when u buy the yamahalube kits they come with the gaskets.
Thanks for watching. I'm going to head to the dealer at some point and just buy a bunch of the washer / gaskets. I've found that oil and filters are pretty cheap online.
You can also get copper washers pretty cheap at any automotive supplier.
@@thomasblais3612 Good call on the copper washers! I bet someone makes a nice pack of all different kinds on amazon or fleebay!
Thanks for this!
My pleasure man! Thank you for watching!
Outstanding!!
Thank you for watching!!
Less of a PITA than on my YXZ, but still more complicated than it needs to be. I love Yamaha machines but they sure do seem to be designed to frustrate on the maintenance cycles!!
Right on, yeah small price to pay I guess... Thanks for watching!
I’ve done many oil changes on my YXZ and now I can do it in about 15 minutes. You’ll get faster at it.
Hey hows the rmax doing?
Excellent machine! No issues at all, everything is still tight and solid, CVT is perfect, no issues. Keep in mind, I don't do mudding or abuse it too hard. It's been a great machine! Thanks for watching!
Now I want pizza
HAHA! Thanks for the comment! Yeah man, pizza makes everything better!
Nice work, cometary was right on. I have a stupid question. If you disconnected the struts on the dump box will it go back further? Possibly use a ratchet strap to hold in place. You might get some additional head room. Thanks for the video.
Damn, this is a GREAT idea! I'll have to take a look and see! Thank you for this idea and thank you for watching the video! I appreciate it!
BarnStangz I’ve been around equipment my whole life, and I have the scares to show. Lol It’s always easy when your not doing the work. I like the way you tell it like it is. Thanks. I’m subscribing!
@@G-Man-kc2nm Right on dude! Nobody knows! You're 100% right. They just drop the stuff off and say, yeah, fix it! Thank you so much for the sub! It's greatly appreciated!
Did you do the Yamalube warranty. 20 years 5000 hours or 100,000 miles. I have 2 Yamaha's on that warranty.
I didn't know that there was a Yamamlube warranty! I'll have to investigate that out for sure! Thank you! I know that I'll be using Yamalube oil in the engine for sure. Probably something else in the diffs, probably Klotz ATV gear oil. Will have a diff fluid change video up at some point too! Thanks for watching!
@@BarnStangz You have to register before the first service.
@@jreed10291974 Thanks!
Not sure how it's regarded in the utv side of things, but its reputation is fairly poor in the atv world (at least for Raptors). Might be fine for non-clutched machines, I don't know, but it doesn't do manual clutch plates any favors. But I suppose being a cvt, it's probably fine as it's all internal at that point.
@@drwinlied Sir, are you talking about the warranty? I plan on purchasing the YES through my dealer at some point. I have a few month months of factory warranty left. Thanks for watching!
Take an extra five minutes & remove the right rear inner fender. It needs cleaning in there anyways. & ALWAYS use new crush washers, Just sayin'...
Paul, thanks for watching! I normally use fresh crush washers, and I've now ordered a whole bunch for the oil drain plug and diffs. You should see how weird looking the crush washer is for my Nissan Maxima, it really does CRUSH when you torque it! Thanks again for watching, appreciate it!
Hi, can't you disconnect the hydraulic shocks on the bed to lift it higher and provide more room to work?
You should be able to do this, I'll have to check it out closely, but honestly, it opens up enough, you just need to watch your melon. Thanks for watching!
It’s only 4.39 quarts when you change filter
While that's what the book says, you might not get all the oil out of the line and sump. Having said that, I'll dump two into the engine and two and a quarter into the oil tank next time. Should be good. I'm glad that this machine holds a lot of oil, lots of lubrication is key to longevity! Thank you for watching!
Why in gods name are there 5 drain points? That is ridiculous. For crying out loud, why do these manufactures/engineers keep making things even more difficult to work on. Oh that's right. Because you help pay those franchise fees every time you take it to a dealership or certified shop to get work done. Never mind. Rant over.
100% man, for sure! But yeah, I'm not even messing with the oil line bolts, just going to do the tank drain and then the sump, dump in 4.24 qts total (2 in the engine, 2.25 in the tank) and call it good. Thanks for watching! Appreciate it!
What a pain in the butt. Yamaha could have done a little better on drain location of the oil tank to prevent a mess.
Depending how much oil drains out of the oil cooler lines would determine if I drained them next time.
Thank you so much for watching! And yes, I agree the drain location isn't great and I don't drain the oil cooler lines any more. I don't want to mess up the threads on those lines anyways...
Nice video. Where did you find the service manual?
Thanks for watching! I got the service manual directly from Yamaha, not a cheap book, $100!!! Wayyyyy to expensive IMO, but I wanted to have it since I plan on keeping this machine for a long time and I do all my own maintenance.
@@BarnStangz how did you get it? from your dealer or online. Thanks for your help I have the same xtr. and plan on keeping mine as well.
@@bertpritchett317 Oh man, I guess I didn't mention, yes, ordered it on-line right off Yamaha's website. Took a few weeks to get it, since I guess it's a print to order deal. But yeah, if you are going to keep the machine like me, for sure order a copy, it's a good manual!
@@BarnStangz thank you. Are you have any issues with the gear shift selector when I go from reverse to low it shifts in the slot and when I give a little as it moves the shifter forward 1/2"or so. I let the dealer do the first service and go over everything . It wasn't doing it when I took it to them. I see the 2019 x2 and 4 do this but my x2 never did. But my rmax just started I only have 22 hours on it. How about yours?
@@bertpritchett317 No issues with shifting, I do make sure I'm at a complete stop and then even sometimes, I have to give it a bit of gas to engage, but not all the time, depends on the terrain I guess. Hope that makes sense. I have 60 hours on mine. They are fairly hard hours. But no issues, it's been a solid machine, I'm sure you'll get good service out of it. Not a bad idea to have the dealer check things out just to be sure. I know that some times shifters can just be a bit weird with engagement.
Is that skid plate plastic?
Full steel, thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!
I’m sorry ….but that’s a poor design. 4.5quarts!! Must have some other reasons for that amount. Not your shade tree mechanic oil change. My wife could change the oils in my truck. But not this one.
Thanks for watching and commenting Ed! Yeah, I dunno, I imagine all that oil could help with weird angles or scavenging issues maybe? I do really wish the oil was easier to change. When you design a product that is easy to maintain, more people with do the work. Thanks again for watching, it's greatly appreciated!
Damn an act of Congress to change the oil 🥴🥴🥴
For real man! It was wild AF the first go-round LOL!
