YAMAHA FZ

This is my bike FZ. He is 4 years old. Once in a week I do a water service by myself and I clean the chain with help of cloth and brush to remove sludge particles from the rings and roller bearings, and moreover, I wash the chain with water, later I apply the grease or chain spray on it. With help of Allen wrench/key. I replaced the front fender or mudguard when it is pooped out of place. I would like to share my experience of changing the Engine oil for my vehicle.

CHANGING THE OIL FILTER AND ENGINE OIL

In motorcycle, removal the lubricant oil is the one of the most labor-saving and effortless ways to strengthen the overall operation for our vehicle. Basically, for a new bike, when odometer strikes the 5000km line, it’s preferable to fill the new engine oil.

REQUIRED TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT:

·         Spanner

·         Oil Funnel

·         Drain Pan

·         Dry Cloth Pieces

·         New Engine Oil

·         New Oil Filter

COST:

I get the oil from my local automotive store.

Oil Filter                                  –           Rs.80/- in Indian currency (around $1.55)

“YAMALUBE” Engine oil         –           Rs. 300/- in Indian currency (around $6.00)

PROCESS:

Step-1:  Before draining out the oil, place an oil drain pan under the oil drain cap to avoid oil spillage.

Step-2: open the engine oil drain cap by using the spanner. Once you removed the bolt, allow the engine oil to flows out freely.

Step-3: Next Release the engine oil filter cap with help of wrench, remove the filter.

Step-4: Clear the bore with dry cloth piece, insert a new oil filter and close the oil filter cap.

Step-5: Before filling the new engine oil, make sure that older lubricant oil will completely be drained out. It takes some time to drain out.

Step-6: By using funnel, fill the new lubricant oil through the filler hole. Follow the owner’s manual to fill the suggested amount of oil in oil filler hole. After completion of oil filling, close the cap, start the engine and leave it in neutral position for 2-3 min.
