Hi there. :) thanks for the video. I just want to add two things. I believe that if you take that plate that says Yamaha off first, you could be able to get the headers off without loosening the floorboard. Also, I wouldn't put the mufflers and so on back before filling the oil. In case of leaking you would just have to take them off once again. :) Best regards from Sweden. Drive safe..
snipitproful Super, in meiner Yamaha Playlist findest du alle Videos zu meinem Umbau inkl. den Links zu den Teilen in den Beschreibungen, falls es dich interessiert. Die Mœglichkeiten beim Bobber sind fast unbegrenzt. Viel Spass!
Hello surprised I saw no comments here. According to the Yamaha exploded views there is an Oring that goes under the lowest bolt head. This is because if you look at the threaded hole, it leaks oil through. Maybe my 07 XVS1100 custom is a bit different?
Interesting! I don't recall such an o-ring under the lowest bolt head. The oil filter cover is already sealed by the two big o-rings. I've never seen a third o-ring, nor have I head any leaks since 2014, doing an oil change every 1 to 2 years.
Do the three small screws on the "cap" have to come off? It really doesn't look like the cap DOES anything other than "hold ITSELF on"....and provide a handy place to print the name YAMAHA. i.e. Would the bigger casing not some off if you didn't even undo the cap?
Michael Scott Yes, you're right! I didn't realize it at the time but you don't have to undo the small plate with the 3 screws. Just remove the bigger one and the whole thing will come off.
Got the same bike, only black. I can see it was bobberbuild: did you do this yourself? Looks like stuff from bluecollarbobbers in Utah, I imported it to the Netherlands: looks great and easy to assemble. Bit scary to put a saw on the chassis though 😳 Great bike man, thanks for the movie too: will change oil + filter now!
The license plate holder I made that myself so it's custom made. I didn't add any exhaust cover other than the heatband. You can get that in a motorcycle accessory shop or amazon.
When you screwed on the oil cap I noticed it had measurements on it , can you tell me if that is instead of looking through the oil window , which is so hard to see , and what is it called and where can I buy one please
Thanks for your informative videos , Have you thought about buying a Jardine oil filter conversion kit , will save you lots of time , about $300 I think
Thank you! I've seen these conversion kits but I prefer the clean look of how it's set up stock. Besides I don't ride it that often so oil change is due every two years - that's acceptable.
Because the Yamaha service manual says 10w40. On a general note, recommended oil viscosities always vary depending on the type of climate the vehicle is used in. Usually, the manuals state several types of viscosities, depending on where in the world the vehicle is used. 20w50 is an extremely thick oil and would only be used in very hot areas.
I'm very thankful that my V-Star 1100 came with an oil relocation kit all ready installed
It certainly gets your oil change done in a fraction of the time.

Ich werde mich mal austoben. Vielleicht reicht die Zeit für paar Videos :-)

Correct. There is a small oring down there.

Can i know from where can i bring a plate holder like this and this exhaust cover ??
The license plate holder I made that myself so it's custom made. I didn't add any exhaust cover other than the heatband. You can get that in a motorcycle accessory shop or amazon.
Nice bike 🙂 Great vid
Thanks Brian, I should get back into doing a few more new videos on the bike!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Where do you find the oil cover with manometer?
A motorcycle accessory shop...
When you screwed on the oil cap I noticed it had measurements on it , can you tell me if that is instead of looking through the oil window , which is so hard to see , and what is it called and where can I buy one please
D O'C Hi, it's an aftermarket oil cap with a temperature gauge, not and oil level gauge.
Thanks for your informative videos , Have you thought about buying a Jardine oil filter conversion kit , will save you lots of time , about $300 I think

Part number for that o ring kit?? Please.
Excellent comment, I've added the part numbers in the description. Thanks for watching!
@@MotorScotti Less than a day responding to a 4y/o video. Outstanding. Thanks.
I'll be posting a handful of videos on the DragStar again once I'm done with the KITT episodes, probably in september.
ma DC PM PD per cambiare un filtro?
What??
Keep looking guys. It is not this compicated.
Why 10w40 oil..on the internet they say 20w50..!
Because the Yamaha service manual says 10w40. On a general note, recommended oil viscosities always vary depending on the type of climate the vehicle is used in. Usually, the manuals state several types of viscosities, depending on where in the world the vehicle is used. 20w50 is an extremely thick oil and would only be used in very hot areas.
It's a very good question btw 😃
Ok, thanks for the advice.!
