Good Video, love the step by step esp when it came to the oil filter. keep it up.
Thanks for the reply Mike. I really appreciate it! Oil all changed like a champ, now if only I could ride like one! Thanks for your help.
Fantastic! - that is exactly what I needed to know. Great, clear video, and well explained. Thanks
If anyone wants to learn about Jesus Christ reply
Thanks a ton, sounds good! I cant wait either!
Hey Mike just wanted to say thanks for the video, helped me out a bunch with my bike!
yep, i've run three changes on it so far, around five hours a piece. Now, i dont ride constant rev limiter like a lot of pros, but I rode it plenty hard and its given me no problems at all, and no difference in sound, performance, or anything like that.
Thanks for the video, great material!
About to change oil on my '12 tonight!
And dont forget to clean your ail filter! :)
thank you soooooooo much for this vid! helped me with my 09! keepem comin!
same, I have an 09. Glad it works
Very clear procedure : well done and thanks.
Nice one bro very detailed! Just started riding after about 20 years and brought a 09 yz250
Watching in Lincoln, England! Thanks for the help
Thanks for the video man very helpful and I also like your graphics on your bike
Awesome video mate. Thanks
Perfect video mate! Cheers
Very helpful video. Thanks man!
Great vid, very helpful 👍
Thanks mike for taking the time too make this great tutorial video. I just got a new to me 2006 Yz250f and this really helped me out!
Braap06250f always glad to help man, take care
Thanks bro you too be safe riding :D
Hey question I also just got a 2006 yz 250 do you know what type of oil you used cause I’ve seen to use 10w 40 and 15w 40
Glad to help, and thanks! I love it too :)
Nice video... it helped me walk through the oil change on my 09 YZ250F. I see your a Michigander. I saw Larry's Performance RC's in your intro. I also run there.
+newagemuscle2010ss Awesome! yeah I love Larrys, but am currently living in the UP attending Michighan Tech. Ride on
is the crank case drain plug in the same location for an 05?
Great video dude!
Perfect ! Thanks a lot man. Everyone else skips a bunch off steps.
Thanks for the help I did my first oil change today man
this helped so much man cheers
No music is perfect; Excellent video, very professional, well done!!
Tanks a ton! I just bought a 2008 yz250f and wasn't quite sure on how to change the oil. Btw nice bike, I like those rims!
I know its old, but great vid, answered all my questions, thanks alot!! Much appreciated. Hope your still ringing out that 125 BRRAAAAPPP on!!!!
thanks man glad i helped and you bet!
depends, where do you live, most importantly what is the range of temps (outdoor air temp) that you ride in? I would recommend full synthetic in any case, 10W-40 is the average best all around temperature oil. I use 10W40 in my bike, My dads LTZ400, and my cousin runs it in his CRF450F. That's what I'd use unless youre riding in extreme heat (desert) or cold (snow/arctic)
Should the oil level be right at the line on the sightless? My oil level is way over the line and is burning oil. Wondering if the owner before me put in too much oil in.
My favorite kind of dirt bike, the YZ four fi- two fifty ef
why do you have to drain from the crankcase does it not all drain from the bottom since you put it in the same.
Dude thanks so much for this video just brought a yzf250 2011 and was stumped on how to change the oil I had only bled the engine and not the reservoir was absolutely puzzled haha thanks man
hey, glad to help, thanks for the watch and comment!
Hey mate how are you finding the shell rotella t motor oil now? Still recommend it?
very helpful video. I just bought the same bike. good,overview.
I have an 06 yz250f, what oil should I use?
what happenes if you dont drain the oil in the crankcase oil container?
Nice video! Just did my first oil change in my 2008 yz250f. Just a little different than my 1974 250 enduro. Now I am ready to hit Busch beach down here in NC! Gonna be a fun year. 🏍.
Where do you live at? Have you been to south fork? I'm from the Richmond area
also, Busch beach or busco beach?
What model and year bike is that front fender off?
what kind of oil should i run in my 2006 yz450f??
would this be the same on the 07?
Good Job very helpful, and the intro is alright.
+Stephen St.Pierre thanks, glad to help. Lets be honest the intro is garbage and pointless lmao
Where did you get the oil filler plug?
Do you have any clutch slippage with full sinthetic
What size and kind of oil filter did you use
This helped a lot brother thanks
very helpful video... thanks!
thank you. it helps me to change the oil of my engine.
no problem, glad i helped
How type of oil filter it is?
Very helpful tutorial thank you very much
What type of engine oil did you use?? Or your most preferred
Thank you bro, your video was helpful
Awesome vid and edits and filming and bike
Thanks a lot! Helped me out quite abit! Just got an 06 yz250f and I just wasn't quite sure! Awesome video! Sick bike aswell!
Can you clean the oil filter? Or do you need to buy a new one
And what type of oil filler cup is that?
What size oil filter is it ? Becuse I can’t find it anywhere :(
thanks, glad i helped
Hey bro good video helped me out a lot! But I heard you mention intevouls ? What are those bro?
Will this work for a 2010 model?
Have you Not tryd mallosi red chilli oil filter ...
hey mike great video dude, do you know how much oil to put in if your only changing the oil? not the oil filter along with it.
Hey man nice tutorial it helps a lot. But my english is not that good so it takes 1,150 L with oil filter? Thanks a lot
best song ever :)
Good job mate
Thanks very helpful
my eyes started bleeding when he used a crescent wrench
john edwards You should probably get that checked out by a medical professional.
Lol who cares, if I can't find the right wrench in my toolbox, but I do have a crescent wrench, I use that instead of walking 20 meters to the bigger toolboxes we have.
Who gives a shit
lol don't be such an elitist
@@Cam_B Its because he used it backwards, thats an easy way to break a crescent wrench. oh well
Why is there 2 drain bolts?
how much oil?
thanks I got this bike without a book so u were very good
Great video. I have a WR250f which is basically the same bike
I have a 2009 how many oil?
I am going to help service my friends Yz250 tomorrow. Did my XT660R last weekend and thought it would be good to look for a video on the Yz because I have never worked on a full offroad myself. SO I see the small differences thanks to your vid. Cheerz mate!
Sebastian Deyzel glad to hear it, thanks and ride on man
+Mike Werthman could you pour half the oil into the crank and the other in the resoiver?
Marshall Watson No, the breather bolt on the resevoir is small and would be a total pain to pour into, and yamaha's instructions say to put it all in the crank. It will cycle itself through pretty quickly
Mike Werthman oh ok I didn't know
Yep, I was skeptical about it at first too but if thats what yamaha recommends and its worked this far, its gotta be the way to go
Is that LarrysRC in the beginning?
Scott Wedemeyer huh, it never even occurred to me that it wasnt stock. Looked it up and its on the 2010 and newer yz250f's
What year is this bike?
nice video and good demo! love the intro. make sure you slow or speed the music a tad so it doesnt get picked up as copyright. And definitely replace the KX100 footage in the intro with the new bike footage when you get some. Cant wait to see some riding videos, that thing looks sicker than my 450 lol!!!
keep it up!!!
Great video, very helpful. The only suggestion I have is including bolt/wrench sizes. Besides, that couldn’t ask for a better video.
Thanks!
Nice bike dude I have the same exact year
Amigos, no se inglés. Me pudieran decir cuántos litros de aceite le echo? Se los agradecería
Thanks 🙏
Hey i have yz250f 2009 i will need a help it’s my first time doing it
it does look like it, but its not. It has a fiberglass exhaust wrap, which is real nice to protect the pipe from dents and stuff but the guy before me who owned it raced it it wet red clay conditions and when it slung up at the pipe from the front wheel, it bakes into/onto the wrap and it doesnt come off
My 2011 doesn't seem to have a breather bolt I'm stumped
yea it kinda does. but hey nice video! i needed it. thanks man!
Hi everyone, I'm new to 4 strokes I have only had 2 strokes, the start up on the 4 strokes make me go crazy with the decomp lever and shit, can anybody explain to me properly how do I start the bike properly, I have started it a few times but with a massive struggle
This video was super helpful but I have one question. I am trying to ensure I have used the right amount of oil. I have conflicting versions of at what level the oil should be in the window when warm, filled, etc. I did everything you have done in this video correctly except I cannot see at what level the oil is in your window? Help!
Shane Hayes i never use the window, the glass is always cloudy, inconsistent when hot/cold, and its hard to find a clear explanation of how to read it correctly. The bike holds 1.05L on a change, 1.15L with filter change, and 1.30L with a new engine rebuild total. If you properly drained the oil and filled with the appropriate capacity there should be no need to worry. as for the window, My manual says:
CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL
LEVEL
1. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn off
the engine and wait for five minutes.
2. Place the machine on a level
place and hold it up on upright position
by placing the suitable
stand under the engine.
3. Inspect:
• Oil level
Oil should be up to the full level in
the check window "1".
Level check window is not full. →
Add 0.2 L (0.18 Imp qt, 0.21 US
qt) of oil.
my 2006 yz250f has an oillevelstick in the frame of it, can i see the oillevel with this ?
the problem is, that this stick shows no oil and in my manual there is a inspection glass on the side of the engine :D
Do I have to drain the crank case even if im not changing the filter?
Jax Barbo yes
haha thanks!
Funny intro!
to be honest the more i look back at it the more id never done it. It was kinda supposed to be sarcastic, you know, but most people just see it and it makes me look like an idiot lol and of course its on one of my most viewed videos
tanx bro
Do you know how much oil a 2007 YZ250F takes? is it the same 1150 mL/cc's?
Ben Lenda yep it should be the same. a quick google search should confirm that
hey one question does the yz have to change the clutch oil apart or its the same oil as the engine? I saw a video of the oil change on a crf and the guy change the clutch oil on the other side of the engine
+Luis Alberto Gálvez lots of honda crf's have seperate oil for the engine and for the trans/clutch. The YZ (at least this one and all that I'm aware of) all have one oil compartment for everything so you only have to drain the one (on the engine case and on the reservoir).
Thank you very much dude mine have only one too, sorry it's my first dirt bike and I want to take care of it
Luis Alberto Gálvez Yep for sure, better safe than sorry! Take care of your bike and itll take care of you.... Hate seeing people abuse/neglect their machines haha
At this video i used AmsOil 10W-40. Now I use shell Rotella T 15W40. A lot better paying 12 bucks a gallon intstead of 14 a quart. And I believe Rotella is better in every way IMO. I did a looooottttttt of research before switching
Stop putting diesel oil in gas engines. The additives are different.
Also, your clutch frictions will thank you. I'd recommend Mobil 1 v twin oil. You will thank me.
good video mate but don't you need to check the oil pressure by loosening the oil pressure bolt then running the engine for a minute or so then checking that oil is seeping out from that bolt??
yes, the manual does say to do that. Its obviously important to check oil pressure to make sure your engine is lubricated... if its not I think we all know the tragedy that can happen... ouch. I guess i just got lazy and assumed that my bike ran perfect all this time and shouldnt fail now. Of course, its NEVER a bad idea to check and you shouldnt assume things. my mistake. I guess I also figured it has as much chance to fail at any point during a ride as it did while changing the oil.
thanks for the watch and comment!
im such a nooob. but what oil should I use on my 450 to not to look up the clucth?thanks
+Handendaer check your manual or an online chart for recommended oil weights for different outdoor temperatures. Whatever you do, use a motorcycle oil or other oil that is safe for wet clutches. THIS IS CRUCIAL! Generic car oils with the wrong additives and friction modifiers are not safe for wet clutches that dirt bikes have and can lead to trouble. As far as weight goes, you can usually go with 10W-40. Currently, I personally use Amsoil synthetic 10W-40 motorcycle oil and am very happy with its performance.
One more thing. I think i saw you stand the bike up straight when you checked the oil which is the correct way, but i didnt hear you mention it in the video. Might help some one.
yep. good point
how often do you change the oil
If you race, every 5 hours of riding is a safe rule of thumb. If you trail ride, closer to 6-10 if you dont rev it constantly. These are recommended change times, nothing catastrophic is going to happen as soon as you step over the mark obviously, but as time goes on without a change past that point you just put your engine at more and more risk of damage. 5 hours is a good change interval if you can afford it trail riding, but if you want to limit your budget or ride much longer you can get away with much more. synthetic may last longer than conventional on intervals. It really all depends on your riding style, the type of oil, and the bike. a crf70 would probably be less prone to oil related issues than modern race 250 & 450 four strokes. hope i answered your question take care!
