Great Video! one small tip I do: wrap the exhaust under the oil filter with aluminum foil... when the job is done, remove the foil and the exhaust stays nice and clean (dry) - free of oil so you don't have to wipe it up after and and oil won't get into the places you can't reach! Cheers!
I had a stuck on filter once on my FZ6. I tried hammering a screwdriver into it and it was stuck to bad that it started to shred the filter housing completely off. I was able to get a big pair of channel locks onto it and free it with force. Nowadays if it feels stuck I just go straight to the channel locks so that never happens again. In this instance it worked as you could see the filter move before it shredded the metal. Don't do what I did and shred the whole thing if it doesn't move at first.
There is no such one, I didn't think it was necessary at the time 😀 Anyway, the carbs are clogged and dirty again because of the bio part on the gasoline (10% here) so I have to do a quick clean again and then it cab be with a start of course.
This is good, except one fact - the new oil filter is dry. Once you start the engine and let it running, turn it off, let is cool down and then fill missing oil that now is in the new filter.

Thanks for the idea krazokid19!
I use a cheap chain wrench. Never lets me down.
Where is the vid that it fired up?
So far i watched your carb cleaning, valve adjustment, carb mounting to engine, then this oil change.

@@REBUILDLab excited to see your updates lol 🤘🏽
How many oil bottles do you need to complete the oil change?
Depends on how big the bottles are. You need 3.3 Litres.

You're right. Thanks. There is not much that will go onto the oil filter, but still, one should check it and fill up.
