+Danger Damian Yeah, I found that out after. My mechanic told me to take off the bolts with a normal wrench and re-torque with my torque wrench. Thanks bud.
Ryan C Thanks Ryan, appreciate it! They told me at the dealer to do it this way because the screen can catch anything coming out, THEN do the 5mm plug on the opposite side to drain the remaining oil.
Just a question, when you do oil service by yourself, don't you have any problem with the service light ? Does it write just "oil service" during 5s or is it write every time... or do you have a light on... Thank for your answer...
mpichotzki The service light is set at 9000 mile intervals. I change my oil every 4500 miles so my light didn't go on. If you do your own service, you can go to the dealer and have them turn the light off for a $50 fee or some might do it free. When I had my oil change the first time, it said "Oil service" and it didn't go away till I went to the dealer.
Hi. At first thank you for your video. before oil changing i had no problem but i change oil and i have some problem. When i try to start engine it is not working after three or four time to start. I could not find any answer on internet can you help me.
+sam jhn Did you check the voltage on the battery? Also, these bikes have a starter problem as well. If your battery is fully charged and the bike is struggling to start and your dashboard dims or flickers, then your starter is drawing too much power and you need to get it replaced. Take it to the dealer.
Thank you for the fast reply. Pretty much tight. I knew the mistake from my Monster 1100. Thought they corrected it for newer Models here in europe. abload.de/img/neuebitmap2wsus.jpg
ya WTF the service manual has typos on torque values? That could destroy an engine if someone was using it as a guide and didn't think to double check the numbers in a youtube comments section of all places!!!
I do not recommend using a torque wrench on a drain bolt. Yes, shop manuals have a torque spec for every fastener but it's really only a *requirement* for certain things like head bolts. For drain bolts (and most fasteners in general): just snug it down until it feels firm, then go another quarter-turn or so. If it doesn't leak, it's tight enough! The crush washer gives you some latitude here. A good general rule is to look at the size of the wrench (box/line/combo) and use that as a guide for how much force to apply. That's why they scale that way and why it's safer to use one of those, whenever possible, instead of a lever that isn't sized to the fastener. How did I arrive at this conclusion? Well, I have personally stripped the threads on an oil pan because I diligently used a torque wrench. Either it was faulty or I was (probably the latter). That mistake cost me a planned trip and a few hundred dollars to fix. I've stuck to regular wrenches ever since and never had any issues. A steel bolt will happily chew aluminum threads to pieces, and that's what you have with most motorcycle drain pains. Use caution!
@@CapeVoice is k&n okay?i was searching for oil filter earlier then it shows that k&n also fit so i just want to make sure since ita my first time changing oil and filter with my hyperstrada
I laughed with you when the oil filter dropped haha thanks for the video man Any links for the service manual free download.. I have a 2010 Hupermotard and I'm new so I'd appreciate your help with that ;D
You didn't watch the video then as I said I didn't do that step. That's not required until 9,000 miles. This was in between service intervals as I don't like my bike sitting in used oil over the winter.
I have a question. Manual say 3.3 L i have put in 3L with new filter and it was way over the top mark after running a bike. can any one explain what happen?
Quattro Fan Even I didn't need to put that much in, I never ever listen to what the manual says as I went over too and had to drain oil out. What I did was, filled it all the way to the top mark, ran the bike. Then I let it sit to see where the oil level came back to.
bravo, for the nice simple HOW TO. Good to know their is nothing out of the ordinary with basic maintenance like this on these bikes.
So good to post these for others !!!
;)
Well done CapeV !!!
Im pretty sure the manual talks about having a cappuccino while the oil drains...
I did go to Starbucks later that day...
Good video...thanks for uploading. FYI...you shouldn't loosen bolts with a torque wrench...its will mess up the calibration.
+Danger Damian Yeah, I found that out after. My mechanic told me to take off the bolts with a normal wrench and re-torque with my torque wrench. Thanks bud.
You want to pull the 5mm hex plug, not the 6mm. The 6 doesn't drain it completely
Ryan C Thanks Ryan, appreciate it! They told me at the dealer to do it this way because the screen can catch anything coming out, THEN do the 5mm plug on the opposite side to drain the remaining oil.
Really nice work man! Lovin' the Caddi too dude. :)
Thanks man, I love my two babies!
Early congrats on 2k bud

Very nice how to video
Thumbs up

Thanks , informative.
you use oil machine 3:00litre or 2:8litre?
Very nice.
In the service Manual they say "Tighten plug (3) to a torque of 42 Nm". Is there a mistake in my manual?
Mathias, it says tighten plug 3 to a torque of 20nm, max of 22. 42 seems a little tight.

What filter do you use?
OEM Factory

Technically speaking, you're supposed to remove the oil screen and clean it too.

Does this count as first comment? Haha
