So i changed the oil filter on the fzr tonight and what a (no swearing) around it was. I thought i would do a write up to make it easier for the next person to do. 1. Drain old oil 2. Remove whole exhaust system 3. remove old filter located under the sump plate. 4. new filter in 5. put exhaust systemm back on 6. Fill with 2.2ltrs of oil 7. Step back and take it all in and remind yourself to take it to yamaha next time.
That sounds like a lot of stuffing around to change the oil taking it to the friendly mechaanic sounds like the way to go.
stock! Such a pain in the bum. I need a different can as some idiot took the baffles out of mine and its way too loud. But at least it has new plugs, oill and Oil filter now. And i also fixed the pre load in the back. All and all totally different bike to ride. Next is a new exhaust and clutch kit.
Hey len, your welcome to have a look in my shed for exhausts, I might have something that fits. I am happy to help you with the clutch, just pick up some plates and we can fit them. cheers Chris
might have to do that mate. I need to save some money then get the kit and we can have some fun putting it in. at least we wont have to remove the exhaust lol. I might have to have a look at some cans because i am about to lose my hearing. :BangHead:
MCS sell clutch fibres, they are usually about $10 each and you should need 6 of them, else there are kits on Ebay. Cheers N Beers Chris
Hey Slender Ever thought about trying the old fashion way with your exhaust. Simply insert some steel wool into the can, the effect is instantaneous Phil
http://www.netrider.net.au/forums/showt ... hp?t=94429 wow what a bastard of a job that is. Not cool yamaha, not cooool
tell me about it desmo. And phil i might give that a go. i suppose i can always take it out if it doesn't work. Will it affect the flow at all?
Might a little but the sound will be noticeably less, I have done it myself years ago and it worked for me. Phil
