Great walkthrough 👌 Though be careful with the torque specs on the drain bolt and the filter. And personally I think the oil sight glass is most correct when I sit on the bike for having as level as possible. You can easily miss the level if the bikes is slightly tilted and not 100% level because of the ground it is standing not being level.
I have the exact same bike except mine is the KRT edition. This bike takes more than the 1.8l/1.9q that the manual calls for. Maybe they are not expecting you to drain all the old oil. 1.8l barely touches, BARELY touches the low line, and no way should you leave it at that. This bike took over 2l to get it just above half way between the marks on the sight glass. I even went as far as putting a carpenters level on the bike to make sure it was absolutely level when checking.
Sorry man some reason TH-cam didn’t notify me of the comment. It didn’t come with a new crush washer for the drain bolt. But further in the video I show that the filter from the kit was actually the wrong one!
At times I wish I got a ZX6R or even the 10R but I then think about it and really really enjoy the 650! The more upright riding position is comfy for me being 6’3 I can ride for hours no issue.
@@AlexOutdoors561 I've had a zx6r in the past and I sold my zx10r for a Z650. These 650's are proper street bikes. I'll never go back. Love my Z650. Only when you go up in cc and come back down will you appreciate the smaller bikes. Edit: Nice colour on your 650. Very smart indeed

We have the same bike lift and same year/motorcycle lol. I just have the Gray and black color scheme with the same camo
Manual says the filter needs to be torqued to 12.9 lb 🤙

What did you say the kit didn't come with? I couldn't ununderstand

@@AlexOutdoors561 I got on eBay and ordered a mesh seat cover set for mine and man it’s way cooler I also like mine the others are way more expensive
I may have to look into that! Anything to stay cool while riding in this Florida weather!
