Super informative, thank you. it feels like i was being taught by Peter Griffin from Family Guy
Instablaster...
very good video , easy explanation and perfect quality of vid, GOOD JOB
Thank you my friend.
Thank you for telling everyone that.
I think I had a beer with u once at the Drunkin Clam.
Very nice video, thank you sir!
All the work was done on the center stand.
I just watched this and completed my very first oil change on my FZ6. Thank you very much for taking the time to post this. Very helpful!
I like to run new oil through with the drain open until it looks clean and then install the plug. This washes out the last bit of black oil.
the funny thing on my 2008 FZ6S2 when i fill her up 2.8L according to the service manual with fresh oil with oil filter change, the oil level on the dipstick (not screwed in) always indicate way above the xxxxxx markings. the engine does not feel as responsive and rev happy. so i tried 2.7L on my subsequent oil change. the oil level is within the xxxxxx markings. engine feels more responsive and 'lighter'
I like the way you work...you know what you are doing....nice.
Hey chap, thanks a million for this how to vid I have the same Motorcycle and after watching your vid this week I for the first time ever did a complete Oil, Oil Filter & Air Filter change myself saving many £££'s in the process. Who needs manuals when you can have TH-cam. Thanks again a grateful viewer from England.
Thank u! 9:50 for chain adjustment
just a bit annoying units 1 and 3/4 etc :D
I used BelRay EXL 10w-40 and was very happy with it.
No that is a friend of mind i haven't had a bike since i had my 82 Kawasaki GPZ550 in 1982.I am saving up as we speak for a new Harley Davidson Iron 883.So keep clicking on the google ads in my videos and with your help i can get it.
Gee i do not remember and the bike is gone so i can not check.
O one last thing how did you know the person was a female.
Did she by chance leave her phone number in the comment....lol
I would think if the filter is doing its job you would not have to.
i was always told to just screw filter on with the hand and do not over tighten
john mccrory by hand but make sure they are no leaks
Can't do it by hand in really tight spaces like he said. As long as he didn't out put much tension on it while tightening, it will come off next time.
One thin I notice that I do differently. During the chain adjustment the adjuster only pushes backward on the axle. Only chin tension is keeping it on the adjuster so there is a little float in that system. When you torque the axle it can float backward making the chain much tighter than where you thought you had it. To get around the problem you should keep pressure on the rear wheel forward while you torque the axle. I do this by straddling the rear wheel in the seated position, torque wrench is at 12:00. As I pull the torque wrench my chest is applying the opposite force against the rear wheel. This keeps the axle and block firmly against the adjuster. No more readjustments..
If it is a clean 2 liter bottle i do not see why not.
There will be different filters for every make bike.
I am pushing down on the chain to remove the slack.
Keep up the Yamaha videos! Im a new biker with no mechanical experience and love this video
Can someone help me translate.
No it is not necessary.
I looked at it and i am not sure.
Yes who would have thunk that.
Yes it is on the center stand.
Me gustaria ver videos de la yamaha fz o6 en español gracias
Ya dare he....lol
that was very good video, thank you :) great explanation
Thank you for sharing.
Any other substitutes for the oil filter wrench I can use to take it out?
What oil ? Semi Synthetic ? Full Synthetic ? did you warm the engine before you drained it ?
Full synthetic 10w 40
Thank you my friend.
Heeeeey Steeewy !!!!!!!............... Oh! Hey!! Fat Man!!!!!
Thank you.
Amazing vid thanks for the help
Ayyyyyy it's Peter Griffen
Hello please how many litre do you need for it?
is there any more vids on the fazer plz
thank you for the explanations, perfectly described !
thanks dude. i own this bike and currently in school...that chain adjusting seems a bit over my know how...ill get a guy for that...but i can change my own oil and filter. is there a video on air filter, and spark plug servicing?
What about if you had the bike on the side stand, does it still drain the oil on the exhaust? ;)
Seems like it would even drain some more oil (so you wouldn't have to double fill but just use the full 2,8L), and maybe you could get away without your admittedly very nice steel funnel! :D
Need help, my bike turns out to be a Yamaha FZS 600. Is it the same as the one in the video? It seems to look a bit different. Its got a snot oiler, I think.
It's the predecessor to the fz6
igostupidfast3 thanks for your reply. I looked in the right book. Its all sorted. I can't believe my yam goes 135mph.
Great video! Very helpfull, thanks!
Hey awesome video Can you please do a Spark Plug Change ? And an Engine Coolant Re flush ? Please & Thank you ?
Falta que hable en español
something different for a repair nice.
It looks. It's Everything I Hoped For! record careless What do you think... !!
what oil did you put in?
one thing I never understand is peoples obsession with not getting oil on the exhaust......who cares. Once the oil gets done draining wipe it off, and spray it with some brake cleaner. your done, it's that simple. nothing personal to richpin I see it in every single oil change video I watch. I just had to vent a little.
hey rich, one thing i noticed was that you measured the chain slack at the middle of the swingarm. as far as im aware, you should check it at the middle of the chain, since thats where itll move most. since the front sprocket is only a few inches in front of the swingarm pivot, its probably not a huge deal though.
You might want to put a piece of cloth on the chain and then turn the wheel so the chain will be real tight and keep the axle snug against the adjusting screws. While you hold the wheel ask someone else to push the wheel sideways to make sure the right-side adjusting screw is also firmly in place while you torque the axle nut.
I have an old 1974 yamaha dt 125 motorycyle and the manual says 1 inch of play but it just seems tight. Are you pushing down when you get the final measurement as well or is it from one extreme to where the chain sits at rest?
Dear Sir,
Thank you for such good videos,
I have the same motorcycle and videos help me well. Good job.
i need to lower my 2006 fz6 (short man), ive alredy lowered the shocks, is there another way to lose more height??
Necesito en español
If you drain the oil with the bike on the side stand you won't need to make a chute to keep the oil off the pipe.
Another great video rich, when I tighten the rear spindle I wrap a piece of wood in a rag and past it through the wheel and wedge it between the chain and the top of the sprocket then pull back on the wheel which then pushes the wheel into the swingarm, just a handy tip ive learnt which ive found really handy :)
Just changed the front and rear tires on my fz6 and I will use this for tightening down the chain thanks alot. Looks like you might have dropped it from the scratches on the engine but hopefully I am wrong.
Congratulations on the video helped me a lot if you can continue posting as give maintenance in fz6, I have a 2009 fz6-s have some videos on my channel, bye bye and sorry for the english, I'm from Brazil!
when adjusting the chain, should the bike be on the centerstand?? (looks like it is) I was told it is to be adjusted with load..
Great video!!! Thank you for sharing with us this useful informations.
Thank you very much for posting!
I think you should have mentioned the year of the bike though.
I also believe that you should rub some oil in the filter seal before screwing it to the bike .
hey rich can you use any kind of oil filter as long as its made for a motorcycle is there a certain size i have a yamaha fz6,2005.
Thanks much - really appreciate you having taken the time to make this very thorough video!
Nitpicking. But I personally wouldn't use paper towels. Use a cloth. You don't want a bit coming off and getting in the bike.
dont know what you're talking about but i fit my oil pan under the oil pan(09 FZ6) nut just fine. Maybe you need a shorter oil pan or something.
Hi, great video thanks! quick question, at 00:38 what is the large silver alan key bolt up and left (above your knuckles)?
Nice video, but it's better to warm up your chain before lubricating with a short ride. A warm chain allows the grease to really penetrate.
do you check the oil and the chain slack with the bike on the side stand or the center stand?
any vidz on fz6 2007 valve adjustment?
3:45 what is the size of that gasket (inner and outer diameter)?
Can anyone here tell me what the hole in the left side of the engine wall on a 2006 FZ6 is? I had a very slight amount of sludgy oil in there. My bike has 14K miles on it. The hole isn't leaking, I just dabbed the hole with a few Qtips and they had a bit of what looked like old oil think oil on them. Please help, thx
I was wondering too.. apparently it's so the excess moist at the spark plugs can get out.
Great job! This bike is super clean
Cool Video.. Oil didn't look too bad. Good to change though if it sat the winter.. Take Care
thanks for the video, nice and clean, I'll try to do all this on mine next.
Is it necessary to fill the oil filter half with oil before I put it on?
Thank You!
Great video my friend. I haven't checked your channel yet but I hope you have some more like it!
32mm axle nut!!! wow.... guess I need to get a socket
which size oil filter did you use? 2 1/2" or 3 1/4? in length i mean.
Hi,
very good video.
Can you tell what kind of spray do you use for cleaning oil on the engine?
It's surprising how clean is the engine after spraying a bit of that cleaner and how fast is the cleaning!
Please let me know what is it.
thanks
bye
It's a regular brake cleaner spray. Doesn't matter which brand. It's really harmfull solvent and evaporate really quick so don't use it on rubber parts, your drive chain or your paintwork.
Your guide helped me very much. Thank you!
The problem here is that you can't get the oil pan under the drain plug.
Great video Rich. Thanks for sharing
Nice device
thank you very much for this clear video!
Thanks man. I am thinking of getting into this bike (a downgrade in CC's for me, but a huge upgrade in performance) as I am going from an 800cc cruiser. Would love to have learned this for my cruiser to save tons of $$$ and doing basic things myself instead of taking it to the shop. Great video, lots of detail, thank you!
Downgrade in cc 😂😂😂😂 800s are slow.
Who do you think you ah? Making fun of the way that man tahks.
Very Good Video! 2 Little things that I can maybe add is that the chainslack is different at different parts of the Chain so always find the spot where there is the most slack before adjusting and when it comes to tightening everything back up, make sure to have a torque wrench and check in your manual how thight the screws are supposted to be. There are special values for almost every screw on your bike. A lot of beginners tend to tighten their screws too much, resulting in minor unnecessary damage.
You should find the place where the chain has the LEAST slack, not the most. I.e. the tightest spot on the chain.
Why? Because while a too loose chain may cause slighly premature chain and sprocket wear and some drivetrain lash, a too TIGHT chain may cause countershaft bearing failures which are very very bad.
Does it use conventional or synthetic?
Are you out in the berkshires or more towards worcester?
Thanks, that's a real help. You've got a lot more patience than me!
Quick question and this may seem a little unrelated to what you displayed in your video, but I have an 05 model fz6. I was curious how often you clean out the carbs?
It's fuel injection. No carburettors.
i guess the oil was good enough for the next 3 to 4 k KM !!
Is the minimum and maximum range on the dip stick like a car, in that it's equal to 1 quart?
Soundman1963 Very unlikely, I'm sure it's less. A quart low would be disastrous for a bike that holds 2 something quarts.. Some cars are 1/2 quart low to high.
Thank you!!!! Great explain!
