RevZilla hey lemmy what oil color should you see to know that it needs to be changed ? Because i bought a 2013 iron 883 and the guy said he did a check up 2 months ago with a harley dealership !
I have a 2012 Nightster. Could you do a video on changing the oil drain tube. Would love to have some extra information on it
Hey Lemmy. Is Maxima pro plus 10w40 is suitable and perfect for Kawasaki Ninja 1000 ?
I like this guy because A: His name is Lemmy AKA his parents were clearly Motorhead fans, and B: He makes drinking beer a step in changing your oil.
Well done sir.
Haha the exact reasons I like him
why his name tag says liam
That was a major dozen steps when changing my rocker box gaskets....It takes a while for those lifters to bleed down.
Only step 2 though... makes this vid a 9.99/10. Sorry
Hell to the yes on this comment ❤️
Lemmy could teach me how to put gas into my bike and I'd still be interested
Really...lol..haha. He has to be the beast...i mean best..instructor alive!! lol fuckin love him!!
"Lemmy could teach me how to put gas into my bike and I'd still be interested" --- I already DO change my own oil but I wanted to watch more of Lemmy.
Great comment
No lie. Watching Lemmy gives me the confidence to work on my own bike!
As a guy who just bought his first motorcycle about a week ago, this is a very helpful video.
***** a jeep for the time being, I live up a gigantic gravel driveway that's in horrible condition with a steep incline. Most riders Can't even get a bike up it.
***** XD forgot i didnt put that in my post, its 2012 Fz6R
Well got some sad news, i sold that FZ6R months ago to a dealership, some kid a few cities south bought it and was hit by a drunk driver shortly after, killing him and totaling the motorcycle. Not something i wanted to hear happening on my first motorcycle.
@@TvMaNightmareHD glad that wasnt you
as a guy who doesn't even own a bike, I simply found this insightful
Lemmy makes a great point at 14:20; Fingers first don't just go right in with your tool...
🙄
dude literally the best tutorial ever. So nice. Explains everything so simply for complete noobs! which is how it needs to be! also explains WHY we have to do the certain things like rub a little bit of oil on the filter before putting it in. please make more complex videos like this, like how to install a full exhaust, how to put in integrated tail lights, and how to install a power commander (or something similar like biz), how to put new brake pads, how to clean a carburetor (not sure if "clean" is the right word).
+2cool0 We'll keep 'em coming! In the meantime, take a look at Lemmy's Carb Cleaning article as well as the rest of our Moto 101 articles. -DrewZilla

You should really do a lot more of these. Don't know why you stopped. These are without a doubt the easiest, most informative and helpful how-to videos for beginners I have ever seen.
We have a big production schedule of product reviews, bike reviews, and how-to videos. We'll definitely be doing more how-to stuff in the future! -DrewZilla
Lemmy is probably the nicest guy on the planet. I'd love for him to be my bike mechanic. I'd take my CBR to him every day of the year if I had an issue. RevZilla is fucking great.
Done a ton of oil changes, and this guy is spot on. Well done Sir. You are the ChrisFix of motorcycles.
I don’t even own a motorcycle and I watched the whole video😂 but I will soon!!!
Same
Take the Motorcycle Safety Course!!!!!!!!!! and treat it as your 1st feather in your riding Experience It may/will save your life and remember Wear all of your safety gear all the time or at least till you have 20 to 30 thousand miles under your belt that way you can make a much better choice of To Wear or not To wear. :{D
Lemmy, you an awesome teacher.
I've picked up so much from this and the other winterizing tutorial.
Let me buy you a round.
CHEERS!
Great video! Obvious cool points are: his name is Lemmy, beer is included in all maintenance, and jobs have a beard difficulty rating. All that aside, he has a knack for instruction. Lemmy doesn't over repeat, so people who are mostly familiar with the topic can stay tracking, and he doesn't rush through, so the novice can actually process and retain the information. No skipping steps and it's not boring, that is a feat most instructors do not master- Well done!
*new rider post* I feel like every time I get on my motorcycle from now on, I'm going to say "Thank you Lemmy, for your guidance and knowledge" as an ode to your detailed and concise videos.
Man I really love your How to videos, you not only thoroughly explain how to do it, you managed to even add helpful tips to make it even better like preventing damage.
Keep up the good work!
These videos are great and you're a fun character, Lemmy. Thanks for uploading this! I got myself a classic bike for a low price so I'm learning how to take care of it, this helps a lot! Only problem is that I need so many tools...
"I put plenty of carcinogens into myself, I don't need any extra help" lmao
Very comfortable to listen to and watch, thank you, Lemmy!
Putting the old rag at the bottom of the collecting pan to keep splatter down is a great tip...thanks, man. Another well done instruction video I'd say.
I really like the way you explain everything! I just came from the chain clean/lube video, and your attitude and personality earned a subscription from me. Keep up the good quality! 👍👍
Your are awesome Lemmy! A great instructor. I bought a brand new bike 2 years ago and have performed all of my own maintenance.
I just discovered your tutorials and am confident that I have been doing things correctly and have also learnt a few tricks. Cheers! 🤘🤠🤘
Little tip: you can always pre fill an external filter to a certain extend, as the filter absorbs te oil. You can even hold it upside down without any oil spilling out.
I hope you guys now how much I appreciate your videos! Keep them coming, and Ill keep watching them.
Thanks for all the tips and hack you shared with us over these years your a blessing to us motorcyclist and mechanics thanks Lenny!
I will be purchasing my first street bike/Harley within the month and want to do a lot of maintenance myself. Thanks for sharing your expert knowledge in a way that I can understand and feel comfortable in tackling some of these things that will come up! I have also just subscribed to your channel to support you guys and continue to learn! Thanks again!!!
This was uploaded the night I performed my first oil change some time ago. It was very helpful!
This video was great; I just got my first bike yesterday and I'm a complete noob to all of this stuff.
What bike u get
I know this is a dated video but Lemmy is a fantastic teacher and keeps your attention.
Good call on captured filters. Good idea to find a parts picture of the correct assembly if you don't know who put it together last.
Awesome man!! My VTX 1800 has two drain plugs, make sure to check your owners manual like Lemmy suggest, you want to get all your old oil out!!
Very informative, a good pace & length of time to cover a good range of key points for a maintenance novice like me. Nice work guys. Look forward to watching more.
I warm up my bike a 20 minute ride, it helps drain the oil throughly and I also use Teflon tape on the threads of the drain plugs I do a 3 hole oil change. But I did use this video on my first oil change I bought the bike with 11K miles, the person I purchased the bike from couldn't tell me when the last oil change was (Not very good record keeping) for so my oil changes starter at 11k next 16K, 21K, my latest was 33K miles thank you Revzilla 😊
Love the tip on pre-filling the new oil filter with oil. Whenever i start my bike after an oil change it makes me cringe when you hear the cams running without lube for the first few seconds, causing damage. Thanks Lemmie because I really never thought I would learn anything.
Good job Lemmy! You have a gift of being a good teacher. You love motorcycles and it shows like diamonds in the sky. Keep it bro!
My job is changing oil and working on stuff , still watched the video, and enjoyed it ! Because the more you know and all 😃Just got my first bike and looking forward to working on her 😊
I was looking for a good youtube channel on bike maintenance and came across your channel. Seems like there is no need for searching other channels. I appreciate the tips you provide in the videos. Big thanks from Nepal - A country with the highest peak in the World - Mt. Everest.
This video we pretty dope, entertaining, informative and well edited. As a new biker I enjoyed it :) Good job!
i watched the whole thing and don't even have a Learner license let alone a bike. Still enjoyed it.
My local garage quoted £130, about $210, to change the oil! Nice guide I will give it a go in the near future.
The beer as part of the tools you use was easily the best part of this video
I just discovered this channel and I love these videos. I don't even own a bike (yet)

Just finished my first oil change following you tutorial. As always fantastic video! Super clear explanation with all the nuances. Kudos to Revzilla and Lemmy in particular :)
Lemmy, what about safety wiring? You do not mention it, though the K&N filter you installed even has predrilled holes for it.
First things first.. You're a wizard, Harry. Lol
Great stuff guys! Really like these instructional videos
Awesome guys, thank you very much for this! Walked me right through my very first oil change, Stoked!
Thanks Lemmy! There was so much great detail in this video. I'll be using this as my guide when I change my oil today. Well done!
Can't wait to see more of these kinds of videos! Lemmy was a perfect presenter
Nice. You guys should start doing more of these DIY videos.
RevZilla you guys need to start doing a full maintenance series, chain/sprocket cleaning and replacement, Brakes, pads and disks. Everything, there is tons of maintenance that I would like to do on my own but as a new rider I just don't have the knowledge to do it yet.
TheTycarroll That's really great feedback! We're extremely happy with how this video turned out. You should see more down the road. -Hi-Viz Brian
Much good information here. One point not mentioned is warming the motor before draining the oil. The manuals for my Honda Shadow and Yamaha Roadliner both recommend this. I understand that it helps a thorough drain by stirring the sludge at the bottom of the case back into the oil.
Doing your oil change yourself won't only save you money but also time, once you've done it a few times it can be done in about 30 min.
this is my #1 go to videos thanks Revzilla!
Finally, a maintenance videos. Good job.
And..... In a pinch, a disposable aluminum baking pan makes a really good oil drain pan. Cheap and easy to pour out of to dispose of the oil.
this guide was so well made. can't wait to change my own for the first time now.
This is an absolutely fantastic video with a great character. Well done.
I love how a beer is essential to basic mechanic work!
I won't be doing this to my VT750 until the summer comes around, but it's cool to see such a DIY approach. Now it's just a case of figuring out how to get underneath my bike without the lift...
Lmao! The Zlager got me laughing. My 2016 Harley 883 is getting delivered right now!!!!!!
I appreciate these video, very informative and have learnt a lot. Thank you!
Thanx Lemmy for the super video on change of oil on motorcycles !!
Hey Lemmy. Got a Crazy one for you. I have a 15 Street 750. And developed a N-Light problem. Took it to the HD dealer on Aug 20 17. The N Light was Flashing. 2 weeks later I get it back with a new N Switch. Got as far as the Delaware River, Lost the N light completely. Take it back to the dealer next day. Everything was fine until I got about halfway. Then lost the N Light again. Another week at the HD dealer in Langhorne. I get it back. They claim HD told them to change the Oil. Which I got charged almost $84 for. I have been using the Valvoline Syn 20/50 and K&N or Bosch oil filters since 500 miles. At 10k, Changed the Oil and Filter. The N Light problem started 400 miles later. The Dealer changed the oil, Not the filter with only roughly 500 miles on it. So far the N Light has been working.
Great video. So, warm engine or cold? I've always done it warm....sometimes more than others lol.
Great video, very detailed and easy to follow. Thank you for this video 👍🏽
The guy with the beard who dose the videos is so cool. He is super super chill and informative. You literally can't mess up what he's saying to you lol its layed out so simple.
Thanks buddy, it felt very interactive/intuitive.
I am buying my first bike in a few weeks. I worked a bit on cars and it was always really fun to do my own and I'm honestly really excited to start working on bikes now
Thanks Lemmy! New to the motorcycle world and learning a lot.
Love these Lemmy tutorials
I have a 2011 softail Blackline . 96B engine. I have never owned this engine and still learning.
Maybe invest in a humble tool box. To do some basics.
Another excellent reference video for my library. Thanks RevZilla
I love this guy. Speaks clearly.
Dude I loved it, I'm never change my own oil always took it to the dealership,so I said hey what do I have to lose and I started watching videos,I swear there's some dumb ass people out there because they're starting to talk to me about exhaust pipes paint jobs everything else extent of what I wanted to know which was how to change the oil,you cut to the chase took me step-by-step show me exactly what I wanted to see without the b******* and I even had a beer with you,love your video man keep doing what you're doing and anytime I have something I need to do you're going to be my go-to thanks for everything
Excellent presentation. So glad you didn't tell people to change their oil with engine warm.
This guy has teached me more about life than school
You’re the best Lemmy... wish I had stopped by the shop when I was in Philly
OK.... so where do I buy my ZLA beer? I notice it isn't listed on your web store. Does it come in a can or bottles only?
Great video, Hey thanks!!!!
4 things I would like to add ....
1. Remove the key from the Ignition to a safe place for safety.
2. I like to warm up my engine just before dropping the oil.
3. For the initial start up after the oil change. Monitor the oil gauge/oil light for a indication of oil pressure.
4. After the oil change double check for any leaks as it's running.
Loved this, loved the presentator. Keep the video's coming Lemmy!
***** Haha, that's the great thing about not doing it live ;)
But seriously though. I'm a novice motorcyclist and really keen on learning stuff that I can do by myself. These video's are greatly appreciated.
Love from the Netherlands!
Subbed from this. Even tho I already know hoe to change my oil , love the enthusiasm bro ✊🏽
BSD is the best scale ever.
I love this dude; cool video!
***** That he does! A friend if mine (we are Subaru fanatics) runs a maintenance how-to site at northursalia.com. He uses a scale too....how many pints of blood you'll lose. :-D
Thank Lemmy for the tips. I feel more confortable doing my first oil change, know more about my bike and save some money in the process.
***** I looked into my manual and they say I need a specific tool to get the filter out. I own a Triumph Speed Triple 2011. I didn't had a chance to have a good look into this, but do you think it is necessary?
hey lemmy im a long time revzilla fan.some how missed these vidz but there exellent
im on my fourth bike and looking forward to the fifth :) like to get my hands dirty but like the having things broken down and explained:) great job!
Looking forward to it! If you could keep them general and not bike specific I'd like that :)
I see that Anthony taught you to wave your hands and arms around a lot. :p
***** Don't feel bad, only the .01% pass the Talkasfastaspossibleallthetime 201 course. :D
its an area thing everyone up in the tri state area waves there hands around when they talk. im guilty of it too
Toó much coke?
The Lemster - your best mechanic buddy. 🤙🏼💪🏼
Some of the dirtiest oil I've ever seen... I drain oil when it's still warm to hot. I also put a block of wood under a tire if it will help drain a little more oil out of the case. I also wait until all the oil is drained out. The last ounce or so can be pretty gritty. Excellent video btw.
Nice, man! I'm almost due. I'm going to do it myself. Thanks!
I fricking love this guy!
Lemmy, I think the 84-108 in-lbs is for the derby cover. The drain plugs for the trans and engine are 14-20 ft - lbs, I believe. Still, I agree with not needing a torque wrench for the tightening.
Great video I just bought my first Harley 2014 Dyna fat Bob Sand Camp is the color Beautiful Beast. So I've seen lots of oil change videos and almost always they change the primary oil and the transmission oil just wondered why you didn't do that and how important is it to do or not important to change the primary and transmission and if need to be changed how often Thanks love the videos very helpful.
*Camo
Good question, Roy Griego Jr! I'll let ***** take this one. -Hi-Viz Brian
Such a fantastic teacher.
Your videos are SO helpful!!
not a rookie but I definitely benefited from the 3/4 turn after the filter snugs to the engine tip, woohoo, learning something new every day of life.
I've done more than my fair share of oil changes, but that's the first time I've seen the bag over the filter trick... I'll have to give that a shot next time.... I'm tired of dumping oil all over my exhaust when I pull the filter. Cheers
Most of the things I know about motorcycles are from you guys. :)
Always great instructionals!
One trick I learned from an old timer years ago is when you are installing a screw, start by going backwards and you will feel it click and square up to make sure your screw is facing the right direction.
Great instructional video.
Thanks for the tutorial guys, I learned some things and also the term "tertiary" which is also fun to say
Next up, "quaternary"! -DrewZilla
Excellent video!!
Should i say i cant wait till i buy a bike and change the oil haha👌😎🏍💪👍
I wish lemmy lived here in Hawaii lol he's a great mechanic and does awesome job with these how to videos aloha
a tip I was told when tightening something use a pushing motion horizontally, not vertical and don't pull. the farther away something is the harder it is to move so when you pull you're bringing the ratchet or wrench closer to you. when your pushing it's getting farther away less likely to over tighten it. and if you push vertically either up of down you're much more likely to use your body weight making it easy to over tighten.
Yes interesting these things Lemmy. I don't know much about Harley, being in the UK. I have alway s warmed up engine oil before changing oil and filter it runs out better.
And never over tighten a filter canister like main agent did on my car. I tried all sort or wrenched from strap wrench to banging a screwdriver through the filter. The wrenches just spun and did nothing. Plastic bag is good idea. So is putting oil in filter body before assembly. Make sure you don't get crud on threads of new filter and drain plugs.
Kind regards
