(06’-16’) Yamaha YZF-R6 Oil and Air Filter Change
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Today I install a new Air Filter and do an Oil Change on my 2007 Yamaha R6! Motorcycles are so cheap and easy to maintain, you need one! So much fun! Doing the oil change for the 2007 Yamaha YZF R6 is very straight forward, and so is the air filter! Afterwards I take the R6 through some tunnels and had some fun ripping on the bike! My bike has a mid pipe and the GYTR exhaust!

Just bought an '08 today. What a beast.
Awesome! I bet you're loving it!
Bought a 07 in September
This weekend I've bought an 08. I'M EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH IT ❤
Oh fun! I had a great 7 years with this bike. Loved every mile!
Hard to believe my 2016 is the same bike I have the blue/silver version. Absolutely love the bike.
Haha nice! I know right, mine has been great! No need to even upgrade unless it's brand new!
GTR and R8!!!
My favorite cars and motorcycles in 1 video 😇
We have plenty of content on the channel with both the GTR and R8 if you want to see more videos on them!!
Good video. Not a bunch of chat before getting to it. I’m working on my ‘06 now.
Mobil 1 is the best oil in my opinion. Love the quality and price of it!
Great tutorial man! I thought I saw you and your brother out riding the other day. Might not have been you but looked like an R6. When the weather starts getting better there are some meet ups and car shows at Sonic in town if you guys were interested in going.
Oh very cool! I try and daily the R6 as much as possible when it's nice out!
Couple things to note.
Put oil inside the new filter before installing.
Some of the screws you removed were unnecessary. (tank)
Flash your ecu on 06/07 as they have low idling issues and oil starvation issues. Bauce Racing would be recommended.
Nice bike nice channel.
Thanks for the tip! I'll look into all that
What do you mean by flash your ecu?
i have an 07 raven. Thank you for the tutorial.
No problem 👍. It's not too bad to do in the driveway!
This kinda video is why I subbed a long time ago!
Glad you like it! Always nice to go back to some of our original DIY vids!
Thanks to your vid's i can do the maintenaince for my bike myself!
Awesome!
Humilde comentario, el aceite se debe medir sin roscar la varilla, saludos
Yeah I measure it withought threading it. Not sure what I showed in this video, but thats how I do it
gtr + R8 + R6 = winning
Yeah we enjoyed these vehicles! That R8 was sold a while ago. But my brother bought another one early this year. And I added the new Supra a while ago. Check out our later vids!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I most certainly will
Nice video! Im new to all this bike and maintaince my self and would like to know more about the change of air filter.
Which filter is good? Do i need to tune og ecu flash the bike for running a k&n filter? If yes which filter can I use? My location is Europe, so dont know if i can acces same type of filter as you :)
Sticking to a OEM filter is always good! No need for a tune or flash though for aftermarket filters! They are really all very similar!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed thanks a lot! Ill try to look into that! 🙏🏼
@@BrosFOURRSpeed oh one more question please, which oil do you run on your r6? Some say 10/40w full syntetic? My bike is a r6 from 07 🙏🏼
@@christopherhansen9037 You can also use different oil filters like I did (K&N), cheaper than factory and I used 10w-40 synthetic in this video!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed could not find a OEM air filter, so think ill try k&n air and oil filter! And thanks for the tip woth 10/40w syntetic. The webs says a lot of diffrent stuff! So kind of difficult to navigate in xD but thx🙏🏼
Great vid bro jus bought my 2016 R6 💪🏽
Can you use 10w-40? I use 10w-30 cuz on the left side on the swing arms it tells you what kind of oil it can take
Cesar Guerra I was thinking the exact same thing. I wanna do the oil change myself, but I wanna make sure I'm putting the right oil in.
@@hellapinoy6969 don't worry dude, I use Rotella T6(diesel motor oil) in all of my bikes and have never had a problem. Cheap as shit and it works amazing.
Do you not know that oil level is checked without screwing dip stick in? This would mean your most likely low on oil. Bike is to be standing straight up and checked without screwing dip stick in.
Interesting. However I used the recommended amount. And 4 years later bike still runs flawless
@@BrosFOURRSpeed well it’s definitely best to have the level to the full end for sure. I keep mine almost to the max line with bike level and not screwed in.
@@jacobhendrickson8935 For sure!
Do you see problem with this oil, my engine is knocking after changing Mobile 1 10w 40 oil. It was not there with my Yamloob synthetic.
I haven't had any problems with this oil at all. I've used it multiple times over the 3 years I've had the bike. I'm not sure what would have caused that just chaining the oil.
Ok, it happens only at high oil temperature, need to check, if you know any reason let me know. Thank you
I didn't think you were supposed to check the oil level with the bike up on a jack, also I don't think you're supposed to screw in the dipstick all the way to get the level check
Standing straight up and do not screw in the plug to check oil.
It looks so easy... why am i so afraid to unscrew anything 😅😂
lol It's easy. Very simple bike to work on
you're not suppose to screw in the dipstick when checking the oil level
Bingo so he is low on oil.
I love your bike bro 👌
I appreciate that! It's been a fun bike! I still have it and ride it a lot!
Your not supposed to screw the dip stick back in when checking the oil just till it comes to a stop and then pull it back out.
I don’t this that 1/16th of an inch would make difference lol
@@BrosFOURRSpeed just giving you crap 😂
You still riding the 3rd gen ?
@@brucehamman4201 lol 😂 yeah I still have it! Love it!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed that’s awesome! Hey I was gonna ask you can you do me a favor and look at the nut on the end of your k&n 204 and tell me if you have rub marks from the shifter or not.
@@brucehamman4201 I don’t have any marks. Always had good clearance on it. I’ll also run the Hi-Flo filter on the bike or a Mobil 1
Great Info I just pick up a 2007 and wondering were was the drain plug.
Glad it helped! It's not too big of a job to get this done! Enjoy the R6, it's a fun bike!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed thank U so Much for the Info!
Easier than CBR to replace air filter, unlike CBR need to unbolt many screws of the fairing.
It's not too bad on the CBR, the whole tank cover has to come off as well! ua-cam.com/video/iGUZlwOizRM/v-deo.html
@@BrosFOURRSpeed watched that already too bro 😊
Hey question, u have the k&n oil filter, why not get the k&n air filter for that extra power and acceleration
From what I've seen I would need to tune the bike for it to safely run with the extra air flow
Great video bro.keep it up..question if I'm on a half tank of gas,does it pose a problem "leak etc" when I pop the tank backwards like you did?
I don't think it would. I don't remember how much was in it when I did this, but the less fuel the lighter it is to do that too!
Question, the black tube on top of the air filter black box (sensor?) I tried inserting it after changing the air filter, but it just wouldn't stick. From the video, yours went right back perfectly. Any idea what it could be? Even tried lubricant.
Great vid and thanks ✌️
I'm not too sure. Maybe try tugging on the hose/cable part a bit more to make it reach. Without breaking it. Mine went right back in like normal so I'm not sure
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I tugged and pulled the rubber pins, right back worked great. Cheers! ✌️
I have a 08 r6. I see a OEM oil filter on Amazon that says 5GH-13440-60 ? Is this okay to use on my bike.
Whatever Yamaha says is OEM, is what I'd recommend. I've used Hi-Flow and K&N
what other maintenance needs to be done to this bike besides air filter/oil change and how often? I am new to bike maintenance and would love to learn to do them myself. Thanks
Aside from a leaking fork seal that I had to replace (which I've only done once, not something to routinely do), the oil/filter is about it! Still have the chain on it from when I bought it, that needs to be adjusted every so often which takes about 5 minutes until a new one is needed. And only other thing I can think of is tires, bikes are very cheap to maintain and keep running!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed thank you for the quick response! much appreciated
Have you had any issues after the oil change? I followed these exact steps on my 07 r6. My bike is having all sorts of issues shifting now, it went from 1st to 2nd like normal and would not go into third, fourth, etc. I’m sure it has something to do with the shift linkage but I’m not sure what I did wrong with it, do you have any ideas or suggestions/tips
Oh weird. I've never had an issue with my bike in 5 years and 12k miles I've had it. Is the shift linkage tight and back to where it should be? Thats the only thing I could think of
If you put on an oil filter that has the nut on the back....that nut can get in the way of the shifter. Other than that make sure the shifter is lined up right and tight etc
why put a new stock filter in i would of changed to a different one better air flow
It doesn't really make a difference. And from what I've read, the higher flow filters need a tune to run properly and not be too lean. I'm not competitively racing this bike. So stock works fine
Thanks for the video
Nice Video ❤
Thanks 🔥
Nice Bro I like what u do.. (:
Thanks! Love the R6!
What’s the proper way to take the cat exhaust and not use them after putting on an after market slip on
You can buy an aftermarket midpipe and simply swap it for the catted portion of the exhaust. My bike had an M4 midpipe when I bought it.
Love you’re videos bro keep it up
Thanks!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed eBay
Have u ever change STATor on you r6 thnx great vid!!!
I have not. I've only ever done oil changes, air filter, oil filter and tires. 5 years later bike still runs perfect. And I keep the battery on a tender when I'm not riding it
@@BrosFOURRSpeed great thnx mann
Bu motorun grenajlarinı nerden bulabilirim
I’ve never had to look them up lol, but just search for that part and it should be way to find!
Nice video man. We still need to go for that ride the next time I bring my bike up.
my dream get GTR
bike sounds so sweet what is the exhaust ?
M4 midpipe with GYTR slip on
Just so everyone is aware, Yamaha is all metric... so the bolt under the gas tank is technically an 8mm
lol gotcha ;)
How easy is it to put the shift linkage back on?
As easy as putting it back on lol. Just take the bolt out and pull it off
Woow amazing bike
Thanks!
Is this the same procedure on my Vespa?🛵
Why does idle sound like that when you start it
Putting 3 quarts is ok as long as you don’t past the top line mark of the dip stick
Yeah after changing the oil and letting it run, I made sure eventing was perfect.
What was your first bike you learned how to ride on?
kfeems Mini bike with a lawn mower engine. Then in 2nd grade got the PW80
that dipstick have o ring or not?
4:23 song?
All the songs are written in the description in order of use ;)
R6 😱😍😍
haha thanks!
Nice bike bro, is that a slip on or full exhaust ?
ElSteadyEddie midpipe and the tip
What exhaust do you have on this bike?
This has the M4 midpipe and GYTR tip. Sounds great!
เสียงอย่างสุด
Thanks for checking out this Yamaha R6 video!
What is your exhaust setup?
Eduardo Gutierriez M4 midpipe and GYTR tip
Oh man, how tall are you?
I'm 5'11'', pretty comfortable on this bike!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed jeesus im 6.1 but i want this bike like HELL :D
Sit on a few to see how comfortable you are. I can go about 200 miles max in one trip before it starts getting a little annoying. Unless you are just riding around town, you might be at the max height!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed its to hard to try out few r6 because they are rare in Slovakia. But yes, i want try like few miles on it. ✌🏼
Just watching this makes me not want to own a bike. Working on it is too tedious and a Hassel.
Really? It's easy than a car and astronomically cheaper lol
Man, R6 has the worst oil change procedure I've ever experienced.
Really? I've owned this for 7 years now and I can knock it out in about 30 mins. It gets easier the more you do it and doesn't seem hard
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I just feel like ive never had to remove the fairing on my other bikes? Let alone the shift linkage.
S1000RR I didn't... Tbh can't remember for my cbr lol
I just hate taking fairings off! It's not hard, just annoying.
Just putting it all together now!
@@binlagin lol I’ve got used to it. It’s only a few bolts tho at least. My brother has a CBR600rr and it’s about as involved I think
oh shit he still doesnt know how to shift?
