On most motorcycles you should change your motor oil at least once a season or every 3000 miles whichever occurs first. This video will show you the basics for changing your motorcycle engine oil.
Naturally, the easiest way to change your oil is to bring your bike into a dealership and pay big bucks. But, not only can you save a lot of money,, but you will derive a lot of satisfaction by learning and doing your own motorcycle maintenance. Most of the required motorcycle maintenance is relatively easy to do. Naturally, the first thing you should do is look at your manual and follow its directions.
On motorcycle oil is a big debate on whether to use synthetic semi synthetic or regular motorcycle oil. Personally, I use full synthetic motorcycle oil. But, I don't think it's that important what type of oil you use as long as you change the oil and the filter at the manufacturer's recommended intervals.
In this how to change oil on a motorcycle video, I'm using my 2006 American Ironhorse Texas Chopper to show how it's done. One of the most important things to remember when changing your motorcycle oil is to do it after a ride or after running the bike for at least 10 minutes or so to be sure that the oil is hot and well mixed. The next most important thing in changing oil on any motorcycle is to make sure the motorcycle is not leaning over on the kickstand but standing as straight as possible.

Your stuff is amazing for someone like me that's new to motorcycles, but has some mechanical experience!!! Love it for my 04 Tejas AIH
Excellent video Sir!!
Thank you kindly!
Very helpful, by the way, do you happen to have one on how to change the oil for the primary for the Texas Iron Horse?
THANK YOU SIR. 😎🎶🌱😊 I HAVE HAD MANY MOTOR CYCLES
BUT NOT LIKE THIS ONE , ITS VERY HARD TO SEE UNDER IT TO FIND THE PLUGS ...!!!* YOUR VIDEO WAS HELPFUL * THANK YOU MAN 💪....😎😊
You are very welcome
How do you check you oil hight in a 2008 Texas chopper I also dont know where to add oil at
What is the plug for, next to the oil filter, that has the wires on it? I pulled mine off to make the filter easier to change, put it back in when I finished, and now my bike won’t start. Does it have anything to do with starting?
Speedometer sensor
Thanks! Found the positive wire on my start solenoid came off. Just a dumb coincidence.
Hey Joe , I just bought a used 04 Texas Chopper in Awesome condition , the bike shop wants $ 100.00 + tax to do the oil change ,, ARrr , so I went to Advance Auto and bought 3 quarts of Valvoline 20/50 motorcycle oil
( Not synthetic ) . Anyway , the bike Shop owner told me to Use 3 quarts and make sure the oil is just level with the hose in the tank .. You are telling Us to fill the tank a 1/2 inch below the filler cap .. Brother that sounds like Alot More than 3 quarts .. Advance Auto also had the Reference number from an S&S 111 ci oil filter , and crossed it to a K&N oil filter , looks exactly like the 1 yr using w. the wrench top .. So my 2 question's are
1. Exactly how Much oil in Quarts do you use for an oil change ?
2. How do U grade the K&N oil Filter Vs's other makes ?
Thank's for yr time and video ... B_R
Well, first of all keep in mind I'm not a motorcycle mechanic just a Texas chopper and big dog K-9 motorcycle enthusiast. With that said, I always use full synthetic oil for the engine and regular 20/50 oil for the primary. According to the owners manual for the 2006 model, the manufacturer suggests that once the engine oil has reached the normal operating temperature, the engine oil level is approximately 1 inch below the top of the oil tank for both their soft tail and rigid models.
Your second question on the K&N oil filters . . .
They are just my personal preference and I think the nut that's welded on the end of the filter case makes it super easy to remove. I've never had a problem with them, they been around a long time and I believe they have a pretty good reputation.
Pilotjoe7 ,,,,, I've been meaning to come back and tell what I did .. Hey ,, yr video was Spot On bro ,, Thank U .. And 3 quarts was Perfect .. 2 1/2 quarts ,,, Crank up the engine , let run for a minute ,, and pour the rest of the 3rd quart N ... Oil was bout and inch down .. And Yes sir ,, the welded on Nut on the K&N filter works Great .. Thanks again 4 yr video Joe .... B_R
nice
