Premium Member wessie Posted February 17, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted February 17, 2016 A few farkles added.Jeepinoutwest, can you confirm if the oil pan drain plug has been moved to the side from the bottom of the pan on the 2015? I've heard conflicting reports on this. I have a 2015 matte gray on hold but I'd rather have the 2016 is this problem has been fixed. Thanks in advance! There is no guarantee that any 2016 bike will have the new oil pan - there are plenty of reports of the new colour bikes being delivered with the old style oil pan. It's a case of looking at the bikes in stock and checking. In another thread, someone posted that he has to wait until April before a bike with the new oil pan arrives. Whether this is a firm cut off date or just a dealer hoping to get an order with cheery optimism is another thing... This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance!Does the new side drain plug oil pan fit on 2015 bikes? If yes, how much does it cost? If it's less than the difference between a 2015 and a 2016.... FJ-09, 690 Enduro R.

Premium Member paladin Posted February 18, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted February 18, 2016 The new oil pan will fit the 2015. I did it last month. The drain plug is at the front not the side and not the bottom. Oil pan and gasket can be had for less than $150. Swap can be done in about 2 hours. Look at the thread on replacing oilpan for details on install and parts source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepinoutwest Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I definitely have the 2015 style drain plug directly on the bottom. 2001 Honda Saber - sold 2003 Yamaha FZ1 - sold 2005 Yamaha FZ6 - sold 2007 Yamaha Vstar 1300 - sold 2008 Kawasaki Versys - sold 2009 Yamaha FZ6 - sold 2010 Yamaha Raider - sold 2012 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 - sold 2014 Yamaha FJR - sold 2015 Yamaha FJ-09 - lemon back to dealer 2016 Yamaha FJ -09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfjniner Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I definitely have the 2015 style drain plug directly on the bottom. Turn that sad face into a smilly face and get a Higdonion Cage for the bike. It may cost a little more, but will add so much in return. More weight (12-14 lbs low), skid plate to protect the bottom of the engine and exhaust header, coolness. Easy access to drain plug. You are almost half way there in terms of cost, but then I can see that cost is no issue (so many bikes in so little time). Ken, Candy Ass L.D.R.

dct3416 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 So no changes to the 2016 models except for color then, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepinoutwest Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 None I can see. I wonder if the CCT was changed. I heard a rumor it was on the 2016 FZ-09. 2001 Honda Saber - sold 2003 Yamaha FZ1 - sold 2005 Yamaha FZ6 - sold 2007 Yamaha Vstar 1300 - sold 2008 Kawasaki Versys - sold 2009 Yamaha FZ6 - sold 2010 Yamaha Raider - sold 2012 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 - sold 2014 Yamaha FJR - sold 2015 Yamaha FJ-09 - lemon back to dealer 2016 Yamaha FJ -09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dealers here aren't discounting the last of the 2015's and I prefer to matte gray but didn't want to miss out on any 2016 changes if there were any.
