I’m a master mechanic that knows to watch your video b4 I do my first oil & filter change on my new Scram411. Wow your tips are a great mess saver I must say. Loved the AL foil trick, the removal a cleaning of oil screen and fake screw on airbox lid! Thanks from Pueblo West Colorado Rocky Mountains!!!
Thanks man! Just ready for my first 300m service. I'm a bit of spas and never changed the oil or done any maintenance really on a bike or car, even though I'm old. I bought the Himmy thinking I could do that kind of real blokey stuff myself, so thank you so much for helping me along that journey, you made it very simple and clear!😁
My stealer wanted $600 to perform the first service. I just watched videos and did it myself for $80. They probably use crappy oil too. Now I'll learn how to adjust the valves.
Thanks for the video. I just bought one of these earlier this year and will need to know where all the parts are. But I would never wash a strainer with water. I would use WD40 or the equivalent to that.
what is name of that ruber u said u can change ocasionaly, when i am searching oil kit on ebay, i always find only oil filter and gasket without that part
The spec is 1.6 to 1.8l. Also don't pre-oil your filter, you want to purge the air as quick as possible when starting the engine, and a pre-oiled filter will resist that air purge a lot more than a dry filter, so I never pre soak my cartridge filters in oil.
@bikerdood1100 I know of the drain plug that uses the copper crush washer. Then there are 5 8mm bolts associated with the oil change, but none of those have washers. Are there 3 additional drain plugs?
You don't need to touch the oil drain bolt as you have to remove the whole cover to get to the strainer. At least that is how I did it, couldn't see any downside.

Yeh they didn’t design the thing for mess free maintenance 😂

Valves are quite easy access to the inlet is fiddly

Some oils filter kits will come with the seal included
Can u tell me the OUTSIDE DIAMETER OF SPRING OIL FILTER for HIMALAYAN?
Well as I’ve now sold the bike I’m afraid I can’t
Thanks for this. How much oil did you actually put in to get the to oil level we saw in the sight glass?
It was a couple of litres I think, may have been slightly over.

What are the 3 silver washers that come with the filter kit for?
The drain plugs

What torque wrench are you using? I can't find one for the life of me, thanks.
Mines actually a bit too small need one with higher limits to be honest
I’m sorry I can’t check at the moment as I’m in northern France making a video
clean work
If only 😂

Bit splashy I expect otherwise no
