I took my '19 Ninja 650 to the dealer for the 600 mile oil change, 1st service, yeah it's more money, but I got 30% off being that I bought the bike from them... They also go through everything make sure all bolts and screws are tight and that nothing wiggled loose, adjusted and lubed chain etc etc, so it wasn't that bad. I started cleaning and lubing the chain myself and I just picked up stuff to do my own oil change... I went to AutoZone grabbed the cup style thingy to get the oil filter off, it's a size 66/67mm - 14 flute. Fits on it perfectly, my filter from Kawasaki is a Y28. It has the square in the middle to fit the torgue wrench head. So I'll torgue it to spec. went full synthetic now that it has 2600 miles...I bought the Kawi oil too, I may stick with it, but was also told I can use be c ANY good brand, doesn't have to be actual Kawasaki oil .so maybe Motul for the next one?? Idk, I'm planning on doing it tomorrow, I know I'm a bit early, but I'd go rather just do it, it's only the 2nd oil change.
Future reference make sure you prime your filter so your not starving your engine for oil. Just fill up the filter with oil prior to installation and your good to go
Very nice...I’ll be coming up on my 600 mile service for my Kawi Z900 since it’s free I’m going to bring it to the dealership. Congrats on your ZX10 it sounds AMAZING!
Factories put those oil filters on dry, and likely overtorque. Doesn't matter the brand. It's less of a problem if the filter has a flat seal instead of an O-ring seal.
Don’t torque the oil filter, whether it’s a car or bike. Hand tight is enough. I like the Mazda factory ones, the gasket comes pre greased. Probably better than oiling it, as the grease stays put and probably keeps a better seal over time.
Those first oil filters are always tighter than hell. Love the new bike, miss mine. Hopefully a little speed is all ya need to cure your down-ness, I know it always worked for me!
Couple little pieces of advice. You should always check the old oil. It will give you good insight into how the engine is wearing. Always wipe down the oil pan and filter area before installing your hardware. Use oil or assembly grease on the filter gasket/O-Ring. Prime your filter with at least a bit of fresh oil to prevent air getting trapped and dry starts. Lasty, those K&N filters with the hexhead on the top are not for installation. If you use them to torque it down, it will often ruin the rivets/spotwelds and leak for the duration of the oil change. They are there for easy removal, because it doesn't matter if you ruin the filter on the way off. Overall great video 👌
Bike is hot!!! I have a new ZX-6R coming up on it's 600mile service. Dealership wants $200. Debating if it's worth it, being that I can change the oil myself. Dying to ride a ZX-10r to see if it's worth me upgrading eventually. I previously owned a Ninja 1000 but the ZX-6R is lighter and for some reason just more fun to ride. But the ZX-10R is their flagship bike... So I'm itching to ride one. Keep the vids coming!
Everyone has their own thing for oil changes. Have friends that go w motul full synthetic. I go with OEM conventional oil since I change every 1500 miles. Also, if you go conventional, Amazon has good oil change kits w OEM stuff at great price.
hey Talon nice bike I like it. If you google oil filter wrench you should be able to find the right tool for the tighten loosen you want also if you pure new oil into the new filter before you put it on when you start the bike up after the change the filter already has some oil to protect the engine with it's not a 100% must but a very popular trick a lot of people like to do anyway enjoy your riding as i will enjoy watching all your moto vlogs.
Broooooooo... I picked up a barely used 2015 Ninja 300 2 years ago with less than 100 miles. I did the first oil change and I mangled the crap out of the factory oil filter with screw drivers and channel locks trying to get this thing off!
I have a 2019 zx10r just hit 600 miles. Did you go threw the whole first service or is it just the oil change? This is my 3rd ZX10R and i always did all my own oil changes and was considering
Listen from a bike guy, those K&N filters with the nut are a HUGE risk. The spot weld way the nut is attached to the filter weakens the filter housing causing pressurized oil leaks that drip onto the back tire. I know normal filters suck but don't get caught up a K&N nut oil filter.
Hey talon! Theres a socket for those 20 sided (or however many sides) filters it's impossible on my truck without one. Stick with the OEM just my 2 cents. Glad you got a sport bike man I'm in love with my cbr1000rr
I had a M4 street slayer for my 08 zx10r and it make my bike run like dog shit!!! I tried different tunes and nothing so I put my two brothers back on an now it’s scary fast again. Hopefully you have better luck
Did you tighten down the oil filter by hand? Is that enough you think to get 13 ft/lbs torqued down? Also, where should the oil be at within the sight glass? Completely full or midway?
I recently picked up the same bike, only at 200 miles of my break in. when you installed the M4 exhaust did you just take off the cables from the servo or did you get a servo buddy and remove the entire servo?
I removed the entire servo motor and replaced it with a servo buddy until I got the bike professionally dyno tuned. After tuning, the servo buddy is no longer needed.
@@TalonSei did you use the servo buddy for a previous year? i noticed they don't quite have one labeled as being for the 2020 yet. im sure they all use the same servo anyways
Go with K&N filters. They have the nut in the front. I use it on my CBR. Saturday I’ll be picking up my 2020 zx10r. I’m probably going to go with K&N oil and oil filter. Kawasaki just recommends their shit, so they make more money. As long as you put full synthetic good brand oil, you'll be fine.
@@j.vosier6786 for the bike? If for the bike, I don’t think so. I get them on Amazon or cycle gear. I doubt they'll have them at auto stores. Every bike has a different number. For example, my is KN204-1, etc. I doubt auto stores will have so many filters for bikes. I've never seen car parts at bike stores/shops. I might be wrong, though. Call your local auto store and ask them. Good luck!
I had had it for awhile. I think it’s about a 10 quart and I got it at a local auto store. This is similar - www.amazon.com/dp/B00004X13X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_1MJ2EbAP5J0GN
Talon Sei, I'm a little late to the comments but next time go to Advance Auto and grab a oil filter cap wrench that slides right over the filter. It has a cut out for your standard socket wrench. At least I think that's the name of the wrench. It'll come off with ease. Great video though!!!
Dammmmn boi im trying to get me a me a 08 cbr600rr i was looking at a 06 kawaski 636 stunt bike im not sure what to buy tho but no way i ever could afford the 2020s 🤣
Invest in a set of bike stands makes it way easier you don’t need to lay on the ground you can just sit Indian style makes it 100 times easier. I take my belly pans off to do mine and I took an old car license plate and kinda made it in to a u shape so it takes the shape of the oil filter and that way when you take filer off the oil runs down the license plate over the headers and into the drain pain
Did you buy it out right?? Cause if you didn’t you should really do the first oil change by the dealer if not you void the factory warranty. Just in case
Talon Sei yup got you!! Lol 😆. At the end heard the stuff you already changed on it and what you are planing to do it and I was like never mind. Lmao 😂
Ha, was just thinking the same thing. Kind of a unnecessary video since he already has the full system on it, so it's not like documenting for warranty sake. Just bring on the mod videos. Oddly enough I'm taking my Z900 to the dealer today for it's 600 mile service.
dude, whoever at the factory putting these filters on is a fkn a$$hole! My new ZH2 took me 5 hours and completely destroyed my filter and crumpled like a beer can. I tried the belt trick, oil filter wrench, screwdriver through the side (every side until there was no more remaining surface area to try), and just ended up peeling open the entire filter and used a dremel... unreal man
Straight and to the point without all the BS talking and nonsense riding talk. Excellently done broha!

Welcome to the Kawasaki team green homie !! You bought the right bike!!
I just can't wait for more video! Keep up the good work.
Cant believe ive never seen this Chanel, looking forward to the bikes stuff
Welcome to the channel 🤙🏻

no need for this just mess
I just got my first motorcycle 3 months ago. I really enjoy riding. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Great choice of bike! Thanks for sharing
I'm about to do my 600mile (reached 594miles) break-in oil change today on my 2018 ZX10R; thanks for this video.
Very nice bike! Sounds like a beast!
New bikes new technology is worth having especially since you bought a Kawasaki.
Do you carry while riding? If so how? I carry off body in a vertx bag.
From what I remember he carry's appendix.. probably still carries just strong side. That's what I do
I don’t own a ninja or any bike and this was entertaining to watch #patreonsquad
sunday motorcycle day🔥👏😁

This is on my list of dream bikes too. It will beside my Ninja 1000.

Thanks Pat. For motorcycles like this you can’t prime a filter with oil because they are mounted sideways.
@@TalonSei Okay cool enjoy mate it's a awesome bike
Such a sweet bike.
Yea buddy!!! Guns and you got a zx10r you know what’s up!!! #teamkawi

Air filter...
I use the k&n nut oil filter. No issue yet but next oil change I am going with a hi flow brand and swap to synthetic. Will take your recommendation
Which filter do u recommend for a 2021
Where did you learn all this. Have a 125 ninja, need some help as a new rider
Hey talon! Theres a socket for those 20 sided (or however many sides) filters it's impossible on my truck without one. Stick with the OEM just my 2 cents. Glad you got a sport bike man I'm in love with my cbr1000rr
How did the oil look ? I wonder what the filter caught.couldnt see the bubble properly,should it be to the top of it ?
It says in the manual 3.7L ,but when i looked at the glass it all over the upper line
Grab a k&n filter !!
Can't wait for the proper review
@ 1500 klm / Drop a gear💨
Dude i enjoyed your video. I would like to know the pros and cons of the bike if any. Thanks!
Also go with a sprint air filter way better than k&n 💯
I use the k&n filter with the nut to take it off without fighting it
I had a M4 street slayer for my 08 zx10r and it make my bike run like dog shit!!! I tried different tunes and nothing so I put my two brothers back on an now it’s scary fast again. Hopefully you have better luck

So used to u making gun reviews good to see you enjoying your new bike I got a ninja h2 if every your in northern VA let me know so we can ride
oil filters get tighter over time hence the small ft lbs for torque specs
Don't get the filters with the nut, they have crap welds. One started leaking from the nut itself and dumped my oil all over the rear tire
I recently picked up the same bike, only at 200 miles of my break in. when you installed the M4 exhaust did you just take off the cables from the servo or did you get a servo buddy and remove the entire servo?
I removed the entire servo motor and replaced it with a servo buddy until I got the bike professionally dyno tuned. After tuning, the servo buddy is no longer needed.
@@TalonSei did you use the servo buddy for a previous year? i noticed they don't quite have one labeled as being for the 2020 yet. im sure they all use the same servo anyways
Ya should be the same
I would have never thought you’d be a Kawi guy. Did you get rid of the DRZ?
Go with K&N filters. They have the nut in the front. I use it on my CBR. Saturday I’ll be picking up my 2020 zx10r. I’m probably going to go with K&N oil and oil filter. Kawasaki just recommends their shit, so they make more money. As long as you put full synthetic good brand oil, you'll be fine.
Can i get the kn filter at any auto parts store?

Awesome
Nice!
is that your f250? dope
When wil your keytool be ready
Did you pre-fill new oil filter?
The dealership wants $200 for first service how much did you save doing it yourself
No ride off at the end?
Gotta prime that filter man. Especially on a brand new bike.
Can’t prime a filter that is parallel to the ground.
DSM907Maniak no you don’t, that’s not at all necessary.
Does ur buddy Dave ride too? Something tells me he had a bike to
Best moment when owning a bike
more motorcycle videos please :)
You should us Kaw oil because that oil is specially formulated for the wet clutches hence the $$$
Nah it doesn’t really matter. There are a hundred different oils that work just as well.
Oil is oil to a degree. No oil is where you spend $$$
Why a Kwai? Not a Yamaha or a Honda?
What size is the oil drain pan... and did u get that on Amazon as well?
I had had it for awhile. I think it’s about a 10 quart and I got it at a local auto store. This is similar - www.amazon.com/dp/B00004X13X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_1MJ2EbAP5J0GN
Thanks
Wouldn't the oil change be free if you took it in since it's still under warranty?
No. Oil changes are routine maintenance not a warranty repair.
Filter will be tight no matter what. I do mine hand tight and they still barely come off at oil change.
did you use mineral or full synth?
Use mineral for the first 1000-1200 miles
Talon Sei, I'm a little late to the comments but next time go to Advance Auto and grab a oil filter cap wrench that slides right over the filter. It has a cut out for your standard socket wrench. At least I think that's the name of the wrench. It'll come off with ease. Great video though!!!
Does the ZX10r have cruise control?
No
Factory filters are always tight. Machines put them on.
Way too tight. I cursed far more than I ever expected over a damn oil filter
Motovlogsss!!!
Should probably change the oil when is hot lol
Didn’t even know you had hair bro!
Dammmmn boi im trying to get me a me a 08 cbr600rr i was looking at a 06 kawaski 636 stunt bike im not sure what to buy tho but no way i ever could afford the 2020s 🤣

Do not use the bolt on the oil filter to torque it down. They are tack welded in place and you will cause it to leak. It is only for removal!!!
no one can remove the screw with clean hand HAHAHAH
Did you buy it out right?? Cause if you didn’t you should really do the first oil change by the dealer if not you void the factory warranty. Just in case
Warranty was void the second I got the bike home 😂 I do all of the work on my vehicles.

If a dealer won't honor your warranty over you doing your own oil changes, you really need a new dealer.
No paddock stand? If you need to buy one get a pit bull. I have a rear and head lift from pit bull great product
Go with a Sprint filter instead of K&N.
