Undo the fill cap BEFORE you start letting oil out. You want to make sure that cap isn't seized before you drain your motorcycle. If it's stuck and you still have oil in, you can ride it to a shop. If it's stuck and you've taken all your oil out, now you need to pay for a tow truck. Filler cap off first, always.
Great tip - yes! Those filler caps can be difficult. Several suppliers sell a tool that fits exactly, it is worthwhile getting one rather than using pliers or channel locks.
@@wakinossin I appreciate your reply thank you very much I do the same thing,..5000 k Oil and filter,.....i run the bike,,like 100 km every day,...to Work!!..Now am sure...and will continue so.,..! Ride safe 🛡️ friend got my 🎩RESPECT from Greece 🇬🇷
Thanks for posting this video as I have a 2014 V7 (north American spec) that I will be doing this weekend. One question for you. When I picked up the parts from the local dealer, I also purchased 3 of the "crush washers" for the 3 plus. You indicated that both the front and rear drain plugs are 17mm plugs, but are the crush washers different sizes for these two plugs? One of the washers I got was quite a bit bigger in diameter than the other one for the drain plugs. The washer for the oil filter cap was the smallest of the 3. Thanks james
Yes - I don't have it in front of me but whatever it was that's what I did. If you don't have a torque wrench I would tighten it to 'feel' the crush washer compress, and then just a tad more - until you can check with a torque wrench.

Thanks for the video..how many kilometres to change the Filter?
Is it every time you change the oil,...you change filter to!!
Thanks aganin
I change the filter every time I change the oil, yes. The manual says 10,000 km, though I do it every 5,000 km.
