My suggestion for the oil filter is to use the thicker aluminum foil. You can form it into the shape needed until the little spout under the filter. Oil will pour out and you just have a container ready for it. Keeps everything much cleaner. And Hi-Flo makes the filter for K&N, which have the little nut on the end to make getting it off easier. It’s a couple bucks cheaper and higher quality than the OEM filter.

If you cut an empty gallon of milk in half and then cut the half with the handle, you can actually mold it around the oil filter and boom, you got yourself a funnel. It worked perfect for me, not a drop of oil on my bike.

What a mess. Just two tips for you. First buy a proper wrench for oil filter or buy RC filters that you can unscrew with a wrench. Second tip is to avoid spilling of the oil from the oil filter all over the bike. Just lean the bike on the other side (I just grab it for a handlebar or lean on my hip) and keep it like that for 20 seconds or if not strong enough two three times for less time. Thus the oil comes out from the filter into the engine, and after that not one drop of oil will come out from the filter when you unscrew it.

Just wondering how that fill worked out. Kawasaki calls for 3.8 quarts of oil. You would need 3 quarts plus 750 ml and not the 300 ml you put in. I know you put some oil into the filter, but it didn't look like more than 30 ml. Did you need to adjust the fill by adding more, or did the 300 ml top it off?
@DavesMotorCars11 ай бұрын
I'm not exactly sure what you mean, I started off with 4qts and i have about 200-250ml left in the 4th bottle sitting in my garage, that's 3.8ish quarts total into the bike
@Kevin-ib4gv11 ай бұрын
The owners manual gives 2 different volumes of oil. 3.8 quarts, and in the oil change section, 3.3 quarts, and I've seen 3.6 in other places. Specs say it should contain 3.8 quarts, but at 8:35, you pour 300 ml into the empty quart (3 quarts + 300 ml) container and pour that into the engine. That would be 450 ml short of 3.8 quarts so I was curious if this brought you up to the mark. When you say you have 250 ml left over from 4 quarts total, that works out perfectly to 3.8 quarts. Just curious if it's 3.8 or 3.3 to do the oil change with filter.@@DavesMotorCars
@1lovelucas10 ай бұрын

You can set the ride mode to sport which lowers traction control to level 1, though you can fully disable the Kawasaki traction control if you really wanted to. However, on the ABS model I do not think ABS can be disabled (separate from traction control), though I wouldn't disable that anyways, that's a safety if you apply too much brake to the point where you might slip.

Gonna disagree just on a opinionated topic, given you will never! Be able to get all of the oil out of the bike when you change it same with cars! In my experience I usually do my oil when it’s cold! Therefore all of the oil has come back down from the heads and rests in the pan, you get a close to complete oil Exchange vs Warming the bike up only puts a ass load of oil up in the head of the engine so chances are you are leaving more used oil in the machine then you would if you did it when it’s completely cold or sat the night.
@DavesMotorCars Жыл бұрын

@Kevin-ib4gv11 ай бұрын
Cold oil coats the inside of the engine and doesn't flow properly leaving more oil inside the engine/oil pan. Shop manual for Kawasaki says warm the engine for 2 to 3 minutes, then let stand for 10 minutes. This allows all the warm oil to drain down. Warm oil changes are always the rule when changing oil.
