Many thanks for infos ! I use a very simple way to check. All flushed down, bike needing to be really leaned to pull out a maximum of the engine oil. Put 750 ml , and a stick jauge made with a zip tie. Slide it down by the engine oil tap. it will go down the engine case without problem. Then you have an oil level. make a mark on zip tie where oil is at level ( just a little cut on zip tie side) : this oil jauge lets you check at any moment if you had eaten some oil or not. You see too oil pollution. The glass window is nice but on the move, we can't see anything, with all mud, dust , and even cleaned, it still needs a good light. And pure transparent fresh oil makes it more difficult to check. I do same for gearbox, with a longer zip tie, slided in at a 8 oclock angle by the clutch oil tap... Both cost nothing, stay under the seat and give super fast info about oil consumption, state of oil, especially with gearbox oil to check if polluted or not by a bad water pump seal... ;)
Thanks for the feedback! Hopefully people find your comment and put it to use! Enjoy the ride, Jared
These bikes eat oil?
@@BombersMC808 no, just check on long off roads trips, not for the 2 hours sunday warrori
I am surprised at some of the comments that share overfilling is not a big deal. I've been a certified master technician for over 30 years and taken a number of classes on oils . On a high performance 4 stroke engine overfilling the oil can lead to the oil starting to foam. This creates aereated oil in the top end which can lead to lubrication failure and engine damage. I recently purchased a 2022 500rrs and the owner told me about just draining and refilling with 750cc of oil. After my first ride I was surprised to see oil dripping out of the bottom of the air filter box. I removed the air filter you could clearly tell the engine was choking on excess oil which was being spit into the air filter. Sure enough when checking the oil level as per the latest procedure. Then engine had about 150cc too much oil. I've corrected it and will let you know it the engine quits spitting oil into the air box.
Good Morning! Thanks for sharing, I also agree. I think that the overfilling is why some people are calling with bike running issues. Enjoy the ride, Jared
Well , since my first post above I have done two oil changes using the new approved procedure for checking oil level hot and running. both times it took about 650 cc to get the correct level and the engine is no longer throwing excess oil into the air filter.
Hold stop and start at the same time for a couple rotations, this will kick some more of the old stuff out but won't let it fire.
Good Afternoon! Not a bad idea, thanks for the tip! Enjoy the ride, Jared
Thanks Jared for the videos! I just used a large diameter syringe with tube attachment and sucked out 100 ml into my measuring cup until it was correct in the window while running. It took 5 minutes!
I drained and filled with 750cc on my '22 500RRS. I had issues with oil getting pushed up the breather and soaking the air filter. My dealer recommended drain and fill with 650cc. That was right on the money. Put the oil level at 3/4 up on the sight glass, and it resolved the overflow issue.
Thanks for checking out our channel! Good Feedback! That is exactly what happened with this bike and it only required the 650cc. Enjoy the ride, Jared
Awesome, that's good to hear. Great job on all the Beta content by the way!
@@3SeasRecreation650cc on both trans and engine side?
Both trans and engine side?
I have a 2024500rs. Doing my 2nd full service oil change at 60 hours. Might have put in to much the first time it called for more in the manual so i just went by betausa but not used to sight glass being full. Been on Austrian bikes for 15 years. Any suggestions much appreciated
Thank You Bro... I really appreciate the how to video's... Nicely done...🤙
No problem 👍 Thanks for checking out our channel! We appreciate it! Enjoy the ride, Jared
Nice informative video. All too often guys do not lean the bike over to ensure all of the oil drains from the cases.
I have had to lean mine both directions at significantly more angle for a longer period than what you demonstrated, but hopefully guys will follow the steps to get all of the oil out.
Good Evening and thanks for the feed back! Hopefully people check out our video and put it to use! Enjoy the ride, Jared
Nice video as always. You can also use a small diameter stiff wire bent to a “J” and slide it between the case and oil filter to hook & remove the filter if you don’t have the referenced pliers.
750 is good when changing the filter (pre oil) but around 650 when not changing the filter.
Tried to top off the oil with the engine running as suggested in this vid. This creates an incomplete vacuum when the engine is running and my oil got very frothy. I let it settle and put the cap back on every time I let the engine run to chwcl the level again. Very time consuming but I think this is the only way to properly fill to the correct level
Great video. In your previous video you mentioned to ignore the sight glass and just use 750cc regardless. Are the instructions in this video supposed to correct the previous instructions, or only change procedures for the brand new bikes? I own a 2017. Thanks again for the content.
Missed out on the only the whole reason I watched the video. So when it's running where should the oil be? Where's the perfect oil level and how do you know on your pre trip?
Good morning! Thanks for checking out our channel! The oil level should be 1/2 way to 3/4 of the way up the sight glass when the bike is running. Also, click on the link in the description and it will take you to the new oil change sheet being given by Beta USA with every new bike. Enjoy the ride, Jared
I appreciate the useful videos on your channel! What are your thoughts on Motul 300v 10w40 instead of 7100 10w40?
I am wondering the same thing
Great video as always!
Thanks! We appreciate the positive feedback! Enjoy the ride, Jared
Jared is the bee's knees.
Much appreciated! Enjoy The Ride, Jared
Hay
Tnx a lot on the clip. Help me a lot
Question about the oil filter cover
I tighten one if them to much by mistake. How can i repair the thread?
Do you have a 2 stroke oil change video? The manual references the measuring screw hole but to have oil come out of that, it takes 100ml more then the 690ml the manual says to put back in.
Wait!... What happened to the just put 750cc in each side and be done? That's what I did.
Good Evening and thanks for checking out our channel! Putting in 750cc right away and just riding the bike might leave it overfilled which causes the oil to get pushed up into the air box. It is important to keep it in the sight glass once the bike is running. Just wanted to make a new video as this bike came in with to much oil and Beta has also released the form. I thought it was a good time to share! Enjoy the ride, Jared
Does this same procedure apply to the 2019 500 I believe they change some things in the motors in 2020
I literally got mine hot, let it drain for 20 mins, rocked back and forth. Filled w 750 and it's full in glass while running hot (bike level)
Drain some out?
Well, if its above the sight glass that's not the best. You want it to at least be down in the sight glass otherwise it will push oil up the breather tube into your air box. Enjoy The Ride, Jared
thanks for the great videos. I have a 2019 4T. I have always refilled with 750cc both sides. I move the bike around alot when draining to get the old oil out. This bike always shows an empty sight glass when the engine is running and level and that is on a fresh refill. I only check the site glass after a warm up, let the oil settle a few minutes, hold the bike level and make sure the site glass shows oil to the top of the circle in the sight glass. Are the 2020 and later models different than the 2019 and earlier? If i want it to show while running it will take more than 750cc.
Good afternoon! Thanks for checking our our video! My suggestion is that no matter how you change/ check your oil the most important thing is that when the bike is idling that the oil is 1/2 to 3/4 of the way up the sight glass. Enjoy the ride, Jared
What's happens if there is to much oil in the engine.thanks
Good afternoon, the bike may run a bit weird and the oil will end up getting pushed up into the air box. Nothing major will happen. Just good to correct it if possible
Why 10w40?
you you guys have a tipp on how to remove the screen from the oilplug if Im going to replace it?
Until now I always had to destroy the old one and kinda force it out. is there a better way?
guys tried on forums and ended destroying it. Better buy a new one ;)
Thanks for checking out our channel! Agree with below, when you buy a new drain plug they come with that screen. Not usually needed to be removed from the drain plug. Cleaning it can be done while still stuck to the plug. Enjoy the ride, Jared
Hay
Where can i find original oil paper filter and if not what filter can i use?
Good Morning, if you live within the USA we can help you with the filters! We are a Beta dealer and can drop ship parts right to your front door! Enjoy the ride, Jared
Hello the manual says 750 ml on my 2020 Rrs. Is it ok
Good Evening! It is OK to put in 750cc as long as it is only 1/2 or 3/4 of the way up the sight glass once the bike is running. If it is still above the sight glass then we would recommend putting in less oil like in the video. Enjoy the ride, Jared
Where link for oil change procedure?
Hey! It should of been in the description but I will add it here for you! Enjoy the ride, Jared:
3seasrecreation.com/pages/motorcycles/Beta%20Oil%20Change.html
My dealer told me to just put in 800ml and not worry about it....🙄
Well that previously was the procedure but I am always trying to fine tune things and give the best advice I can! Enjoy the ride, Jared
Algorithm
Dude this is getting ridiculous. Beta is unsure how much oil to put in the bike? Cmon man.
No, Beta is unsure how much oil you actually drained. No different than any other engine that has oil in it. When you do your car you always leave it 1/2 quart shy and then top it off right?
