Superb video, thank you. I was still puzzled about the oil filler cover after watching other video's but this one was spot on and now I can't wait for my oil and filter to arrive today!
Thanks for doing the video. Very helpful. And unlike too many of these videos this is is quick and too the point. I am changing the oil on my friends bike as part of the payback for him loaning it to me, and I could not figure out where to fill the oil at...lol

Greetings from The Netherlands and thanks for posting. ruclips.net/video/LrcNBQEm6kc/видео.html What I did was make use of the jiffy and work from the right side. The RC model HiFlo filter has a nut with a hole trough it for securing purpose. On the race track mechanics hand tighten the filter or slightly further. Users on the road may really want to tighten better and that opens the possibility of damaging the RC type filter housing. I was thinking getting a wrench cap being difficult for you was a bit staring in the distance and basically using the HF204RC made no sense, even though I had no problem with mine when I did the same on my cruiser. I do lube the rubber both sides. Anyway take a good look for better feel when mounting or releasing the race filter. There is a method for determining the right oil level. Per manual: "Start the engine and let it idle for 3-5 minutes. Turn off the engine and support the motorcycle on a level surface. Wait 2-3 minutes and check the oil level trough the inspection window." The glass can be seen up front at the right with a shaving mirror and a small flashlight, having not much trouble sitting on the bike. The amount of oil needed is written on the engine block. One may want to buy a funnel with long neck that bends and an inlet filter. That screen just to always be sure. The drain bolt can be stuck due to bad handling. Tightening should not exceed 22 foot pounds by manual but less when wet with oil. Probably 17 foot pound is more realistic. So one does not hold the wrench in the hand on the far side. At best you clean the area and work the bolt loose at the day before you start off. Great penetrating oil can be made in a smallest bottle with 50 percent acetone and 50 percent ATF or final drive oil. Shake a lot before use. What I do is use a metal pipe to lengthen the socket wrench stem in order to be sure I do not have to use a hammer and can work the bolt loose in just one pull and on a perfect 90 degrees angle. The above caution applies to those who did not changed oil earlier. The bolt had a hidden magnet at the end that asked a napkin for cleaning out and there is a soft metal ring on it that should not be forgotten and at best placed back in the same orientation. Order such a ring when ordering any other parts. Number is 94109-14000. For the oil, do not use those with friction enhancers because of the wet clutch and full synthetics may clean out to well and cause trouble with gaskets. Another great advice is to not change oil outside in windy weather because oil is light and its trickle blows in a great number of hairs all over the place. I always hear a burp coming from the oil filter after a mile or two, even when I pour oil in before mounting, so ride it slow and undemanding until it does.
Haha you caught that ;) I had an ST1100 prior to this and the drain plug and filter is in a slightly different location and some ways a better location. The oil fill is under the side cover and actually easier to get at fill IMO. Cheers
Brilliant video. No wassup guy's or or other BS. Very clear and informative. Thankyou.
Superb video, thank you. I was still puzzled about the oil filler cover after watching other video's but this one was spot on and now I can't wait for my oil and filter to arrive today!
GREAT video! Thank you.
Simple and RELEVANT photos and brief descriptions.
Way to go! :) K

Great finally ! THE VIDEO I was looking for.
Thank you very much for your help....
Well done. HiFlo Filtro makes excellent, reasonably priced oil and air filters for the ST1300. Part number is HF204RC for the 'nut' type oil filter.
Thanks Sir. Great photography and commentary. Very clear 👍
Thank you so much
Great video! Really clear how to do the job and nice commentary.
Thanks for putting this on. I just got my ST 1300 and I was intrigued as to how that grey cover came off over the oil filler cap. Cheers!

Joe from Biffalo Ny
Brief, clear, and encouraging.
Thx.
Actually it is not 4 liters , it is a little less than 4 quarts that goes in. Thanks for the video, very helpful.
Superb, thanks for the great effort, informative!!
Thanks for the feedback. Glad it was helpful.
Thanks. Simple and no dramas...
Much easier than one other that I watched who suggested taking off that lower fairing so as to access the drain plug
Easy, well made video.
Great Video.
Great video, thank you!

Excellent vid. Super clear. But did I see bare feet in the workshop? Tsk tsk. Health and Safety 🤣
Hi, you are doing very good things. You are great. Your engine is also very nice. I need some parts. The engine failed. Can you help me?
Nice video. I usually drape the exhaust pipes with tin foil to keep them from getting covered in oil.
Great video
bikenutt1000 thankyou.
very good. too easy as they say 😀

No oil filter?
Super, thank you very much.
Roger Batt - I’m glad it was helpful.
Followed this was a piece of cake. Thanks from England
Thanks👍🏻
Thank you.
I recently bought myself another ST and had to watch this again as a refresher. Hope it was useful
I have a Honda st1300 clutch plate is stuck.... Any suggestion?
Did changing oil helped? I know this is an old question,but still curious about that problem you had.
You got a $2.00 pan from a $1.00 store? lol.... good vid though. should be the same on a ST1100 right?
Haha you caught that ;)

@@MotoCanuck You got that right. ST1100 is a service friendly bike in compare to ST1300. But than again, 1300 is a whole another league✌
👍✌️🇹🇷💯⚡️🏍🛵🇹🇷⚡️🇹🇷✌️👍
Great vid, thanks.
