It's great that your father in law has a garage with lifts, definitely makes working on bikes much easier. Congrats on your first oil change, here's to many more.
Changing the filter on that xs650 is cumbersome! My xs1100 had one bolt for the filter cover basket. I also had a center stand which made working under it easy.
Yamaha changed the amount of oil that the xs650 uses from 2500CC TO 2000CC due to blowback etc, they also changed the dip sticks to reflect the change, if your oil level is just above the minimum mark on the glass, that's now sitting at the correct amount.
Actually what I always heard was if a vehicle was produced in the last half of the year it was considered the next year, like in your case since it was August that would make it an '83.
This lady gives me major Fabienne vibes from pulp fiction. (Butches girlfriend). She even talks about his chopper too. So good hahaha. Fun loving video, very wholesome. Much love from Australia.
Well could Yamaha make that oil filter change more complicated! Good Grief! Great job! Also I have done the same thing wearing glasses and just pulling off my helmet!

The first motorcycle I ever got paid to work on... very fond memory! It was brand new!

This one has to be one of the favs so far. Oil change never seemed so fun!
Would love to see you all working on other bikes too

Nice video,I would like to see a follow up when you rechecked the oil and hear it run or you go for a ride.
Good looking xs. A+ for working on your own bikes. I never trust the dealers and they charge an arm and a leg for every little thing.
You sound like my father in law 🤣 totally agree though!
Sweet , Rotella oil has the Japanese motorcycle JASO MA rating, my 02 Suzuki savage LS 650 and 05 boulevard LS650 love that oil

oh wow, interesting! thanks!!
You done well there is another drain plug though which you left should be alright though another good video
Oh my gosh that plug was so tight we thought we’d break it trying to take it off 🫣 you’re right though mayyybe we attempt on the next oil change
Its under part of your gearbox

Alittle something I do is put a piece of cardboard underneath the bike to catch any accidental spills… 😊

I like that plan 🤗
Is the round copper expensive?
