Just got the Versys 650 2008, very fortunate that the versys 650 community have you. subscribed, like and added your videos on my favourites. Thank you so much.

Whatever you do, don't forget to push the fuel line ALL the way onto the pump. I pushed it on and clicked the red fitting, but I failed to notice the line has to be pushed all the way over a little hump on the pump fitting, and then click the red fitting in place. I made it about 5 miles and then the bike quit running. I got it off the road and dismounted as the smell of gasoline started overwhelming my senses...and a large pool of gas was forming under the bike. Once turned off no more gas pumped out, but it was a mess. I had to take everything apart and lift the tank up. Sure enough the fuel line had come off. Pushed it on-ALL THE WAY ON-and clicked the little red fitting into place. No more problems.

I own a 09. It's my first bike and first time actually working on anything on 2 wheel. Thanks for the very helpful video saved me $100 and a full day worth of waiting.

I've been spending several weekends toggling between my service manual, a Kaw parts supplier catalog and your great series of vids about the V; getting this rank amateur through the hoops... and I am eternally grateful. ONLY problem is: got into a scramble syphoning gas out of my tank because of some stateside EVAP equipment and additional lines not accounted for in your UK bike. Comedy ensues; not only did I learn about my coils, plugs, filter and removal of my tank and air box, but also learned the finer points of Faceful of Gas Fumes, Running Around Like Idiot Searching For Improv Gerry Cans, and Trying Not to Worry Your Nosy Neighbors and Look Like You Know What You're Doing Working With Combustible Materials. "No worries, Mrs Finkelton; yes, this IS a gas tank and NO, I am not trying to look worried or in a panicked scramble. That's just my... working style. Nope, all perfectly under control. That puddle over there? Neighbor's dog, dreadful, dreadful. Have a nice day, Mrs Finkelton." Again, heaps of praise for this endlessly informative and entertaining series. Should be getting paid for this, mate.

Now this is how one produces and narrates a do-it-yourself video. Well done, mate.

First time I've ever commented on a video, but having watched several of yours I just wanted to say how helpful and entertaining they've been and that I gave my 07 versys a full service thanks to you. Cheers.

Just finished up my air filter cleaning thanks to this video. Sarcasm had me grinning all the way through even when that stupid red clip for the fuel pump was kicking my butt

I've decided to tackle maintaining my Versys myself, as I'm tired of the inflated dealership costs to do routine maintenance. I'm mechanically stupid, but your videos make it took relatively easy. Let's hope I catch on quickly! Thanks for the videos!

So glad this video exists Hoping it applies to the 2014 Versys, but if it doesn't, I'm not angry I watched.

Since, I bought my used Versys, 09 with 12000 and gave it a tune up, it rides a hundred percent better! Thanks, your videos helped alot. I'll probably, put another air filter in. The one I just put in had to much oil applied, didn't ring it out enough and didn't let it dry. Some oil was leaking out the bottom,frome somewhere after I just installed it. I bought a new High Flow filter and applied the oil correctly and let it dry. Now, I've seen about 3 mechanics saying, I don't need to put another air filter in...not to worry about it...bike runs and sounds good, etc. From what I've researched, an over oiled air filter can cause some problems. I most, likely will replace it with the new air filter that I correctly oiled. P.S. Also, had the suspension professionally adjusted. Handles so much, better! Good thing because I just road too Lake Elsinore, via Ortega Hwy. Roads like a roller coaster! Really, too much for my current ability.

this is the best how-to video i've ever watched ahaha. i have a garage to work in, but i need a space blanket to keep my fairings safe!

Hey, Andy! Great film you have here, Man Cam !!!! You change dangerous services into easy walk on the park !!! Allways gooooood watch all them! Keep ruuning movies!!!! Thanks!

Fantastic! Very easy to follow and absolutely Love the humor.Thanks!

Glad I watched this. I thought the top half was going to come off. It doesnt. Thank you. I think you would greatly enjoy a Milwaukee power ratchet.

Very helpful and amusing commentary. Thanks for posting!

Great video to watch, and yes you are very entertaining. A good mix makes the video great to watch.

Good video Andy, but wow what a pain in the arse to change, thank god it's easier on the cruiser, good vid bro RSM8.

Just finished same stuff on mine, thanks for the pre-view :D

great!!!!!!! bravo !!!! not easy, but perfect! I think that my mechanic never did this on my bike. Thanks from Italy

Great video, great humor...loved watching it!

FANTASTIC video! Many thanks!

Andy man cam, Drink a beer when doing these repairs, makes it more enjoyable. Good job by the way!

Thanks. Super helpful and you are super entertaining! I'm on a 2013 V 650. Hope it's similarly easy on my bike. Thanks again

Great video thanks

Hey I wanna thank you first for the video as it's very useful for many people like me trying to do it own. You said something about grease the filter, so my questions are two, what with wash the dirty filter? And what with grease the filter? Thanks heaps for your help mate!!

Awesome video....keep em coming.

Hi , great explanations, I will try it on my own, thank you! Also, I've noticed that your exhaust had a little whistle and so has mine, do you know if that's fixable? I may fit a Delkevic exhaust later anyway but I still want to get rid of that whistle noise on the stock one. Thank you.

Great video. Thanks for posting!!

What crash sliders have installed this motorcycle ??

All that to change an air filter!

Excellent. Thank you!

Are you sure the HiFloFilter is pre-oiled? I checked the website and there is no mention that the filter is oiled.

hi, where do you buy that filter sponge?

This job is surprisingly easier on the ST1300

Hi Andy, good vid. Still haven't worked out what you do yet, despite your "subtle clues", obviously too cryptic for me ! Must admire the "fresh air" mechanics though, you must be pretty handy with a spanner ? personally without a well illuminated heated garage it wouldn't be for me, a bit like outdoor sex, you have to be either very confident, or don't give a shit, I know what category I'd choose. How many nuts and bolts have gone astray in the long grass ? Cheers.

Now I'm discouraged on buying a Versys 650. Just to change the air filter, you have to remove a lot of things. Why can't they just make it like the small motorcycles that are easy to maintain?

please tell me the specifications about the filter

Thanks, great info

What "pre-oiled" means? And what should I do if the one I will get it's not pre-oiled?

why did you take the entire tank off ? i simply move it aside or have someone hold it for me .

Thanks for the video. I just got a 650 Versys with 6400 miles on it. What would be a general interval to replace the air filter assuming city driving conditions?

how exactly does the fuel line clip come off? Do you pull the red part up?

Going to fit a 12v socket on mine and need to take the tank off, so where did I go? To Ze Cam Man of course!

Hi, i think it´s too late, but against your stuttering between 2000 - 3000 rpm, you need a "Lambda-Sonde-Dummy". That will help, i guess

Realize it's an old video but where did you get that rear luggage rack?

Would this be the same on a 2018 model?

where did you get the air filter?

Would this be the same for a 2015 model?

How date bro?

BEST ADVICE ; Spend more money and use a Kawasaki Air Filter, ONLY ! (NOT Hi-Flo Brand),... and use K&N Oil Filters. (NOT Kawasaki Brand)

Вот скажите мне: о чем думал инженер, когда создавал воздушный фильтр??? Разобрать мот,чтобы заменить гребанный фильтр! Почему не сделать замену как в Honda cb400 ??? Вопрос риторический, пойду менять фильтр на своем Версусе.

Sad face about the infill panel. I have to replace my infill panel on the Mistress as some nobbo painted it off-white.

Seriously good vlogger. You should make more time for this. Fuck work!

Great, now I feel the urge to take my bike apart and clean every unnecessary part of it... Well at least it will probably only stay an urge since I already get frustrated lubing my chain... ;) (but too be fair, it would need it. I'm just lazy.)

throw your screw driver on the ground, in the US , we say "for shits and giggles"

I'm suffering from Déjà vu...

Wow, what a fiasco! An air filter should be trivial to replace, in 5-10 minutes. Else, people don't do it as necessary. This is a bad design by engineers. Ps: that's what our lungs look like.
