Dbest1a vlogs, Dbest1a , Vstar, Vstar 1300, no tip, bikes, motorcycles, let’s ride,
I run rotella 15w40 seems to work well I use on of those crank up Jack's slide under the frame and lift the bike guess vertical easy to check oil level
shilosheena yes that would work good too. In a way I wish I got one of those jacks as opposed to this HF jack. It takes up a lot of space. Your always looking for somewhere to put it. I have the rotella 15w40 Dino oil in now. Clutch/tranny shifts so smooth. Gonna use their semi synthetic next. I just have to burn through my other oil stash first..
@@dbest1aVlogs I run Rotella in most of what I have. Catch it on sale in 20 ltr pail pretty cheap.
THanks my dude, best Vstar video by far. I ride Harleys but my friend just got a Yamaha 1300 and we gotta do the oil today. :P Ride safe!
Oh awesome, glad it helped. I have a maintenance playlist with other stuff too. Tell him to look into getting the ECU flashed.
Solid oil change video, as mentioned I like the different angles to get a better view on what you did. Good job! 👍
Thank you , You know I didn't realize how helpful it would be, but when I layed out the footage it was much more helpful. Thank you for watching.
Stay safe.
Thank you for breaking everything down in easy steps💯
You are very welcome
Thanks, love the vlogs. You are very good on your tutorials. Clear precise and great camera views.
Thank you. I have been trying to be more detailed with some things. Thank you for watching, and hope it helps.
Thank you. I'm doing mine this Monday. Loving my Tourer! Over 3k in just one month now! :-)
They love to be ridden
Enjoy em.
When I had my road star I used a car filter only different it was a little longer then stock .
Yes this is a car filter also, only the Purolator they say not to use the car model due to filtration restrictions.
Thanks for watching.
Awesome. Perfect camera angles. Thank you
Dude!, just found your videos. These are awesome! Thank you so much for putting these together!
I am glad they have helped you . I am currently doing some oil studies, and will be posting a video on that at some point. Just have to finish doing the studies.
Thank you very much for watching. I also have a maintenance playlist that you can check out.
@@dbest1aVlogs I'm having problem with my throttle return cable. It doesnt pull back when I pull the throttle. I can't seem to find a good video or drawing of how the throttle cable works on the 1300. Down the road if you were able to throw a video together just showing how to install a new cable, or adjust/fix the old cable, that would be awesome!
Hmm, it may need lubing ... or replacing . Depending on the history of the bikes.
First I'd start with the service manual. Just to familiarize yourself with the line routes.
Then I'd pull the tank.
Then pull the right cable housing , check for any fraying.
Look down my the throttle body wheel. See if any fraying.
Get a small lumber assembly, that will help with lubing the lines. Try living with some chain lube, and see if that helps with the return.
@@dbest1aVlogs Thanks!
Nice job on the oil change bro. There sure isn't much clearance under cruisers. My bikes takes 10W40 and I tend to use mostly Amsoil Synthetic. Ride safe bro.
I just have enough for that pan to fit. If I needed more I could roll the bike on a 2x4 peaces. That would give me a little more clearance.. I've used 5w40,15w50, I usually bounce between those 2. I hold no loyalty
Nice one bro, a good easy job, have you moved your rear footboards higher? in the video they just seem a lot higher than mine that's all, I think we have one of the hardest site windows to see the oil level on every bike, lol, pain in the arse, RSM8.
I had the pegs out back, then swapped them to these Yamaha boards I found on Ebay. I didn't raise them at all. Just how they are. Lol. That sight window is a pure out pain. Lol . I check it once, and only once . Hahaha.
Stay safe.
Great video! I change my own oil as well and you definitely covered it. By the way, I noticed you collected a small sample. Do you have your oil tested? Ride safe my friend.
Yes , this sample was of the rosella 5w40 synthetic. It actually tested very good. They actually sent me more test kits too. I didn't test this mobil 1 this time, but I am going to test the Rotela Dino oil 15w40 I have in the bike now. Just waiting to get to 3k miles to drop it out. I do notice with the dino.... I can smell the oil. The bike seems to shift smoother too than with the full synthetic.. Almost like it just drops right into the gear. Next i want to run the synthetic blend 15w40 from rotella. We are getting into the colder months though so I may have to put the 5w40 back in for quicker lubrication and warm ups here in new york.
@@dbest1aVlogs I like running the Rotella T5. Although the Yamaha is new to me, I've ran in it in my Honda and the HD here and it runs great here in Alabama. It's the Dino/synth blend. On the Honda I had thought my tranny was going, did an oil change with the T5 and never looked back. My 1st gear was horrible and wouldn't shift hardly for me, smooth as silk after that change up. Made my dealership a believer as well. I'm changing mine after the weekend to the T5 and will do testing as well. You'll truly enjoy the T5 once you stick with it. :-)
Good info. I have the Rotella synthetic blend in now. It's not bad so far, and I have no complaints. (The 15w40 syntec blend) I still get best shifting with the dino Rotella. The test results for the dino @ 2500 was to leave it in longer. Hehe. I still have some, so I'll try the dino again at a later date. This synthetic blend will stay in for about 8k will send for a test at 6k.
Have you ever changed your bars?if so did you do a tutorial? I am going to try it. Any suggestions on type of bars.
I did not do one. I did change my bars though. It's not very difficult, especially with the tourer (glass windshield). On my fb page there is a messenger option if you want to shoot me any questions. Or email too @ dbest1a At gmail
How about the coolant, ever do a video of changing the V Star 1300 coolant??? Thanks
No , because the information is very well detailed in the manual . the Coolant is also good for approx 10 years. Def download the service manual from the star 1300 wiki or Facebook forums, and you will see the info in there in regards to the coolant. The tank does have to be pulled back a little to access the cap.
@@dbest1aVlogs My owners manual says to change the coolant every 24 months or 16k miles, so i am a little confused with the "10 years".
Have you done a maintenance video showing how to remove the fuel tank? I want to run electrical wiring from the battery to a USB socket mounted on the handlebars. Thanks.
I think you saw the other post , if not I'll link you to the heated grip video.
@@dbest1aVlogs yes, I got it thanks. Your maintenance videos are very useful, thanks.
@@dbest1aVlogs I got it thanks. Mine arrived today. 😃
Great video. Lots of questions about oil. I'm in KC and it's about to get hot and humid. What's your recommendation for oil? Thanks. Great video.
The vstar 1300 is a liquid colled bike that does pretty good in the heat . The manual requests 20w40 which is ok. You can also run 10w40 5w40(rotella FS) and mobil 15w50. Any of those will work just fine.
Safe riding ...
I have been running with standard yamalube 10W40 but have changed for 20W50 since it make more smooth gear shifting.
@@mortenchristiansen1112 I'll be putting 20w50 in mine tomorrow. I downloaded both he owners and repair manuals... The owners say 20w40 while the repair says 10w40.... weird.
@@a.b1266 always go with the owners manual my friend. However 20w40 can be difficult to find so I asked around and did some research and everyone and everything I read said 20w50 is good to use and preferred when you're out of luck finding 20w40.
"sight" window..... Yeah I dunno bout that. Who designs this stuff!? 😆🤦🏻♂️😁
One of the very few things I miss my old Harley for.... The dipstick!
Yeah , the sight window can be interesting. I try to get down there and clean it anytime I wash the bike, so it stays relatively clean.
Once I level the bike, and add oil, I will add 3.5 qts then slowly add more to bring the level between the 2 marks favoring the upper.
Thanks for watching, and I agree a dipstick would be nice.
@@dbest1aVlogs now that you mention the amount you add... I just changed mine a couple days ago (2007 XVS1300) and after draining and replacing the filter, I added 3 quarts EVEN, ran it for a minute, then checked the level and it was halfway up the sight glass. 🤔 Been driving it several days checking the level and it remains. Weird. I did use a k&n filter which looks a little smaller?... But 1/2 a quart smaller?...
Depends on if your at the bottom of the 2 sight glass marks or in-between. I'm usually in-between and closer to the upper mark. Usually just about 3.6 or 3.7 or so. I did add 4 once before with not much issue, but only once. I also never have any oil burn. I would think 3qts would put me at the bottom mark.
I am not sure of the size of the KnN filters, but I know my napa (n similar) filter is small.
Nice job. I’m preparing to do mine also. What was the little test bottle for?
To send off for analysis.
Enjoy the oil change.
You can find the service manual for our bike in 2 places ... vstar1300wiki forum , and on the vstar 1300 Facebook forum in the files section.
just wondering what you wash your bike with?
The few times I do use water, I use car wash soap.
Other times I uses a Polish called Spirits, or I use pledge (the dollar store brand). I use this the most.
Can I use any 17mm crush washer I find? Or are you using a washer specific to the bike? Part number please
I'll have to look for it . I'll post back.
Lol I have 07 tourer and can never find oil site widow on first try. It requires a lot.of body english.
Lol, yeah it was odd trying to show it in the camera, and then looking at the phone to see if it came through. Once the oil level is set though, I don't have to look at it again till next change. The motor has yet to burn a drop of oil.
Are you suppose to replace the washer for your oil drain bolt? Or can you reuse the same one as long as its in good conditon? This is my time changing oil on my vtsar 1300 and I was curious to know. Hopefully it wasn't a dumb question.
Nope not a dumb question. Lol I used the same washer for a few oil changes , then got the copper washers and have been using them. So yeah you can order a replacement, and yes they recommend to change them with every oil change
👋 I'm confused because the manual calls for 20-50 yet most people say 10-40. You use something else. I live in the Northeast if that matters? Also, what size crush washer?
You could use that. Just be sure it doesn't contain friction modifiers.
Fantastic video, I just have a question does it only have one drain plug? I was told on mine there’s two I’m sure have 1300 v start 2015 is this true?
Yes sir .. only 1 bolt is pulled.
Thank you for watching.
Hey my friend, My 2009 v star 1300 came used last July with fresh oil chnge. The sight glass level was right in the middle. 3000 miles later, yesterday, I drained the plug and filter and not even a quart came out. The sight glass now empty, I added less than a quart and the sight glass is totally filled! I am confused bud. Hope you get this message and can shed some light. Thanks!
The motorcycle needs to be level when you check. That should give you the best result.
@@dbest1aVlogs I didn't realize there were two drain plugs! God bless ya bud. Thanks again.
There's only one. We pull the one with the guard around it.
@@dbest1aVlogs 1 12mm by the filter I went for. It was the one 17mm by the stand...black gold.
17mm is the one.
Thanks for the video and information, it was very helpful. But I have 2 questions for ya. Where did get those highway pegs at and that horn ?🤔
The horn is Stebel air horn. Pegs oh man . I forgot lol.
@@dbest1aVlogs ha ha yeah ok and I had purchased a air horn I while back but I didn't like it. It was too much to install she I really didn't feel like doing it. I thought it was gonna be a simple plug and play. So I sent it back. But yeah those highway pegs are looking good on that bike. I actually have the same color. But I don't have all that fancy stuff you got in yours😁. I'm getting there though
Yeah over time I just collected things to sort my personal riding needs. The lights are due to working evening . Stock lights suck lol, riding through dark twisty roads with no lights bright enough is tough . The crash bars now are lindby. Really nice bar. The cobra fatty got taken off after low siding the bike.
Parts are a bit harder to find now as opted to 2015/16/17. I would start with ebay and I'd search everyday for goodies. That's what n I did. Day by day I'd search for parts.
Best mod though . Ecu flash.
@@dbest1aVlogs yeah ok Mann, thanks for the reply back and all your information. I gotta give it to ya, You got that bike lookn really good. It's actually the same color as mine, and I have the 1300 too.😁. And yeah your bike gives me inspiration 😁
@@dbest1aVlogs ha ha yeah ok, and I'll look on ebay and other websites to find one😁
Great video 👍awesome machine 😎🤙🏻
Thank you sir. I see ur on the Stryker. I have like 6 of your vids in my watch later... oh yea...
Stay safe brother.
Yep😎 I love the Stryker. I was on a Vstar custom 650 before that and wasn’t happy with the power but otherwise a great bike. Was looking at one like yours or a Harley but then I spotted my baby and that was all she wrote lol. That 1300 Yamaha Motor is awesome. Have never had any issues out of it. Ride safe my friend.
Yes sir. I have contemplated a 650 to do a bobber, but think the 1100 might be better. I love my 1300 though, especially since the ECU flash.. just a joy.
Yes I was watching your videos yesterday with fluffy . Your Stryker is sweet. I dont know what yamaha is thinking, they killed their cruiser line bro.
I agree.. the 1100 would make a great bobber. I’m still is disbelief over what Yamaha has chosen to do...sad indeed.
Yea its nuts.
Replace drain plug. Partially fill new oil filter with new oil, coat oil filter gasket. install new oil filter.
you don't have to fill the oil filter . just lube it and install . when you fill the motorcycle up with oil , and start it , it gets filled. Really simple
You can't use regular oil in a motorcycle it needs to be motorcycle oil!!!
Regular oil as you had in that 5 quart jug will mess up your clutch an cause it slip an wear out prematurely
Thanks, but that has yet to happen.
Running mostly rotella t6 or t4. I can also run mobil 15w50. All with no issues . I've run to, but prefer the others.
@@dbest1aVlogs Rotella T4 is the only one you list that is wet clutch safe. Just saying! Thanks for video
Hi mr dbest1, my 07 vstar tourer has the engine light on just changed the oil, changed spark plugs no not too long I don't know what is going on.
You will need to download the service manual from the vstar1300wiki site, or the vstar 1300 Facebook forum. Then look in the diagnostic section where it will tell you how to read the diagnostic codes. Once you have the ability to read the codes , you can solve the issue.
Hey man. I just got my first bike. It's a 2009 Yamaha V star 1300. And I wanted to know do you use synthetic oil or regular oil? I'm just trying to learn how to keep my bike in good running order.
I've used them all , but right now prefer rotella t4 non synthetic oil. Yamahalube makes a decent oil too . I just think the motor is smoother with the non synthetic.
@@dbest1aVlogs Do you also use different thicknesses as well? Or do you use the one recommended by the manufacturer? It only has 4,053 miles on it
They say 10w40 right I think. I try to stay close to that. So the t4 rotella is a 15w40 . You can get yamalube 10w40 also.
I've run
Mobil 1 15w50 synthetic
Rotella t4/t6
T4 non synthetic
T6 full synthetic
I have not used yamalube , but a buddy I know did.
I like the non synthetic cause I feel the valves make less noise, and the bike shifts better.
I've never tried amsoil.
I buy my oil filters in bulk

@@dbest1aVlogs It is 20W50. I printed off the owners manual because the guy didn’t have it. I’m the third owner of this bike.
I believe mine says 10w40 under the seat. Look there . On the rear Fender.
Spark gap is there too.
why didnt you show putting the oil filter on
Cause u screw it on ....
Nice.
👀 👍
Thanks for watching ... wait you dropped the NW...
there's something about clean oil...that gets a guy going. In my opinion ...of course!
Yes indeed. It is the LIFE of an engine. No matter what the ride, always keep tabs on the oil level, and condition.
Thanks for watching, and take care.
Where u get them from
They are stock on the Vstar 1300 Deluxe.
Sweet i have the 1300 tourer
Oh nice. How do you like it .. ecu stock? I hated this bikes tune at first.
@@dbest1aVlogs i love it. I started off with the vstar 650 classic. Had it til i got my endorsement then went to a bigger bike. I love my 1300 tourer. I just got new tires on it.
They are darn good bikes.
Nice instruction, but you forgot some really important points, first of all when checking the oil level, the motor should be warmed up or else the level will show wrong, if you check the level when cold you will not even be able to see the oil level in the glass, and if people are not aware of that, and just fill oil untill the oil level seems correct, the engine will have way to much oil, and will lead to damage the engine because of to high oil pressure. So important is when you check the oil level always run the motor for 5 - 10 mins before checking the oil level. Next problem is that after oil replacement, the first thing to do is to check if the oil pressure is correct, it is so there is 2 oil pressure check screws, one at each cylinder, those screws should be loosen to check if oil pressure is present for each cylinder. loosen the screws, should show oil present within a minut or two, or else something is wrong. And also important warm up the engine before replace the oil, that will make sure all the oil is drained.
Thanks for the info. I've changed my oil as shown in the video for the last (as of video) 30ishk with no issues. I never do your #2, but anyone that wants too can. I never have.
I always warm the bike up before an oil change , n fill with oil of ambient temp while checking level in sight glass to top of top mark, or just below. Never an oil light n even after a 3k mile trip oil level was consistent. I've always done it this exact way with no oil level issues. A flashlight helps me read oil level even when the motor is cold.
Ofcourse no video is, or will be the golden rule .. ofcourse we all should read the owners manual and service manual for oil change specifics before doing this or other maintenance on their bikes.
Ride Safe
Nice bags
Thank you
For all we hear about Yamaha engineering brilliance, all I can say is that everyone at Yamaha who Oked the placement of the oil sight-glass should commit Seppuku. Same sentiment goes with the rear brake reservoir. Does anyone know of any 3rd party conventional oil dipstick that can work for the Vstar 1300?
I just level bike get oil in between the lines and call it good
Can I add to the sight glass placement thing. Yes it's in a very awkward position AND once the glass gets dirty from the inside you can't see the actual oil level. Also the coolant filler neck is under the gas tank. Found that equally disturbing...but I still love my 07 1300.
