This thread discusses the Content article: Changing your oil is easy
Just completed my pre-Street Vibrations (Reno) check up and oil change. I used Amsoil 10W40 MCF and thier filter SMF103C (Crome). I have heard a lot of good things about Amsoil, but couldn't believe it when I started up the motor. It was so much more quiet than before. Changing the oil on this bike is so much easier than the Virago I used to own. Good job Yamaha. |

Re: Changing oil is easy??? The only trouble I ran into was getting the front oil plug off. I thought I read somewhere......use a 17mm Craftsman wrench. What I need to know is what kind of Crafstman?? Is there a wrench made that is thin enough to fit on the drain plug and is it open end or box?? Any info will be helpful. I finally had to use a chisel to get it lose.

For a great way to remove the crankcase oil bolt, go to Forum, New tech tips, and look for the post "Oil Plug Wrench". I did this right after I bought my RS and it seems to be the best thing I have found so far.. |
