After last Tuesday’s ride the odometer clicked over 12,000-miles meaning it was time for my next oil change. My last change was 3,400-miles ago when I was in Pittsburgh, PA.
I’d ordered oil and filters online so I had them ready. I took the bike out for a short ride to warm it up and then drained the crankcase. While that takes its time I undo one end of the lower fairing so I can wrap it in aluminum foil. This keeps oil from spilling on it when I remove the filter. The foil is then easily discarded and the cleanup is negligible.
The bike takes 4.23 quarts of oil. I use Yamalube because that is what the manufacturer recommends and as long as the bike is in warranty, I’ll stick to that.
