Good stuff! Only thing, don't tighten plug that much, oil pan is aluminum and it will strip the threads really easily, a tiny little push once it's tight. And I couldn't tell if you did or not, but put oil on your finger tip and run it around the O-ring on the filter. :) Good video though man!
My bike is due for it's first service. I called the dealer and they said it will cost $250 to $300 including taxes CDN. I asked what they did for this first service and he replied, "Visual inspection of everything, change the oil, grease the chain, yada, yada, yada." Should I take it to the dealer or just do what is shown in this video? My bike works great. Thanks.
1rcproductions taking it to the dealer only protects factory warranties. I do all maintenance myself. Just document it somehow to keep track of it. That helps for if and when you decide to sell. Buyers like to see that the maintenance has been kept up.
+mert karakaya This is a really old video, but I swapped the stock exhaust for an M4 Slip-On exhaust during this video timeframe. I have an R6 now with a full racing MJS header setup & akrapovik exhaust w/o baffle...

Another good thing to do is to let your bike run for about 2-3mins then dump your oil.
What exhaust is that? Sounds nice

nice bike and exaust. Looks really good bro. You forgot to mention how important it is to lube the oil filter. But very good video. :)
Tony Williams thanks man hahaha this is such an old old old video I do a lot of different stuff now, and sold my last bike sadly not riding this year.
I hear ya bro. I saw your other vids cool whip. Hope to see you back on two wheels soon.
They provide a crush washer gasket why use the old washer?
Could you tell me what size spools are required for the Ninja 300? Is it 10 mm? Thanks.
I use 10mm woodcraft 2-stepped ones. Hope this helps

And always warm it up before draining! Maybe you did, haha just checking bro
Did u put a new filter once u took out the old one?
I did yes!
NinjaxBart..I have a ninja 300 and should I also put a new one when I change the oil or is it ok if I put the same one again?
