Thanks for the videos. I am 60 yrs old and bought my 1st bike when i was 57. i prefer to do my own maintenance and your videos are helpful for my 2007 Road Star.
That satnd was made for me by a local wealder , I told him what I want and I needed a stand where I can slide my motorcycle stand and pull it out. This stand is extreamley sturdy and I can remove front tire and rear and not worry about tipping. Also oil changes are a breaze.
put a punch or small drift into the slot and turn it by smacking said drift or punch, works well on spinninng stripped out button head allen bolts too, had to remove two brake rotor bolts like that and also one stator bolt on a 650 vstar, if worse comes to worse stick an aquarium hose in the oil check hole and squeeze the oil in through that

Good job Sir
Thank you.
How well did the Yamalube hold up? Getting ready to change mine on my 05' and have been curious about which lube to use.
It holds up well I had no problems.
Any ideas to remove the filler plug? Mine is really tight, tried removing it with a screwdriver, a washer,
I have filed a old wood flat boring bit and it worked for me.
What jack stand is that?

Any tips on getting off a stubborn fill cap?
You may try penetrating oil, also you can try lighlley tapping aroud it. or get a bigger screw driver and use a bit of force, but not too much.

If I remember correctly I believe the service manual says to use a spanner wrench
i believe the copper gasket was missing on the oil check hole bolt, the allen head one 2:29 into video I'm not seeing it. oem # 90430-06016 Gasket
Can you make a video to show us how to do a coolent flush
My bike does not have coolant.
What kind of oil can we use?
I use Yamalub SAE80W-90, or as long as is API Service GL-4 or GL-5
@@weron021 what else would you recommend.
@@hermilolongoria2988 AMSOIL 80W90, www.amsoil.com/shop/by-product/gear-lube/severe-gear-80w-90/?code=AGLPK-EA
@@weron021 can you please tag the yamalube
can you do brakes fluid please
I will sometime this month.
How often?
I change mine every year, it is cheap and easy to do.
@@weron021
I ask because I am an all season driver.
I put 9000 miles on it this year.
@@weron021
Shop says every year, but I drive all year.
@@TheWay7 I normally put between 7000km to 10,000km a year so a good practice is every year my bike has over 80,000km and no issues.
