Thank you! Appreciate the feedback. The green is the wife’s motorcycle, I almost went blue or sand but am glad I went with chrome (though she gets way more compliments… I’m sure it’s the bike)
Hi Sunsinstudios, congrats for the neat video and thank you for the tech knowledge you are sharing. I am going to change the oil on my Classic 500 and I found your guide very useful.I like the look you gave to your video-editing. I subscribed your channel. Help growing the channels with RE contents! keep on like that!
Keep on doing filmmaking on motorcycles : I am sure you can do awesome riding video! If you want, take a look to my RE Classic engine modified Hitchcoks kit 535 cc, Oil cooler, free flow filter, Dynojet V5 and a custom exhaust. If you like, please consider subscribing my channel ... Enjoy and ride safe!
Step 1 - ride bike for 10 km's. A 2 minute 'warm up' is nowhere enough. Bolts for mesh screen are 8mm - same for oil filter cover. Removal of oil filter - there are two O rings to be accounted for and replaced. While draining oil, rock machine front to back, and tilt from side to side (slowly) to get as much oil out as possible. After replacing the drain plugs and adding the oil, while the engine is running, get back under the thing and check for leaks on your various drain points. Wear rubber gloves when changing oil - saves burns, and that stuff is not so good for your skin. If you have a sump guard on your RE Bullet, remove that before you go for your warm up ride - saves you getting burned removing it (ask me how I know)! My comments come after 2 years and 29,000 km's on a RE Classic 500
Best oil change video bro.will able to change oil myself....keep posting 👍..bro I have classic 500 stealth black with efi and usage is Max 20-30 km a week,shall I use mineral re oil or semi synthetic?i prefer to change 6 monthly
If you mean the magnetic bolt or other metal washers, just clean and check it (replace if damaged). If you are referring to the rubber seals, then yes I recommend replacing.
Hmmm good question, I believe so. Mine doesn’t have the full kit (lost in the garage) but looking at google it seems you should have all the wrenches needed.
For the classic 500 made sure to have 2.5L but as you can see the best way to know how much to add is by the engine oil window. Yes I used full synthetic. Dug Dug
Hey mate u did a big mistake u didn't removed the 3rd bold where the crank oil is stored 😕😕😕😕... half litre is still there in engine which is old oil get it checked brother...
This language everyone will understand. Nicely done !
Wow! It’s best video what I see to oil change efi500. Thanks so much!
@@RoyalEnfield-BELARUS thank you!!!
Great video. Visually well done, nice background sound, and no blah-blah needless commentary.
Well done ! no mindless chatter ! good video quality !
Bro your video was amazing! High quality, clear and concise and entertaining. Extra points for the classic military in the background (same as me)

I have 2009 bullet I’m just wondering if that the same filter that you use in the video?
I believe so. Mine is a 2012 and I think classics started production in 2009 (so should be similar)
Excellent video man! 👍
David Lopez thanks!
Nice work!!! Thanks!!!!
Thanks ! Hope it was helpful!

Great...can you please share the link from where you purchases the spanner..
Hi! I got the wrench a few years ago at a local hardware shop. Sorry no link :(
Nice vid. Any torque values for the all the bolts featured in the video?
I know someone with one of these, and oil is leaking out of the sightglass. is that a common fault, and what usually remedies it? a new seal?

Great job
Great video, just a small questions. Are the copper washers needs replacement? Or is just a clean up to them enough?
If you mean the magnetic bolt or other metal washers, just clean and check it (replace if damaged). If you are referring to the rubber seals, then yes I recommend replacing.
Hi does a brand new classic 500 come with all the tools necessary to do this oil change yourself?
Hmmm good question, I believe so. Mine doesn’t have the full kit (lost in the garage) but looking at google it seems you should have all the wrenches needed.
How much quantity is needed? Is liquy moly full synthetic good ?
For the classic 500 made sure to have 2.5L but as you can see the best way to know how much to add is by the engine oil window. Yes I used full synthetic. Dug Dug
@@SUNSINSTUDIOS thanks man.. appreciate your help.. how much in general you need in your 500 classic. 3 lit or 2.5 ?
I think 2.5L, but if you have 3L you can add when it gets low (from leaks lol)
Hey mate u did a big mistake u didn't removed the 3rd bold where the crank oil is stored 😕😕😕😕... half litre is still there in engine which is old oil get it checked brother...
Not necessary.it harms crank. There should be 400-500 ml oil always in the crank case chamber.
@@dhananjay555 Mate when you add new oil new oil gets there without any problem... That nut is made to be open to drained out
@@nischalrana2447 u correct 👍
Yes correct 👍
Thank goodness......No yatta yatta listen to me I am a Tosser commentary !....Thanks !
Is this for 2009 bullet ?
No it was a 2016 with the green one in the back being a 2012
😉👌🏻🇮🇳
You removed the primary drain plug but not the secondary. Also o ring not replaced
Don't follow the instructions on this video. There are 2 drain plugs plus the sump filter. Also the oring for the filter was not removed!!
Please check video at 1:34 and 3:39
