Premium Member ULEWZ Posted October 10, 2015 Author Premium Member Share Posted October 10, 2015 Oil filter? Snug, or you will never get it off again. Official torque is 12 lb ft (17Nm), and good luck with that. A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

Official torque is 12 lb ft (17Nm), and good luck with that. When I called my service dept. to verify the torque requirements, the tech I talked to basically said to just snug it down hand tight (and not by using the full length leverage of the wrench). I grip close to the socket and just make sure it's snugged well without trying to muscle it. I do the same for the drain bolt. The tech also mentioned that the drain bolt crush washer is good for 2-3 uses max before it must be replaced. I'll replace it every other oil change to be safe.

I'll replace it every other oil change to be safe. They're cheap so I try to replace them every time, but if I forget to order one (happens occasionally) I'll reuse the existing one without a second thought rather than waiting on the oil change. Yamaha says to replace the filter every other oil change, although my practice is to replace that every time too. Unless I screw up and forget to buy the filter tool for the new bike, in which case it goes two. Not I would ever let that happen.

Premium Member builderbob Posted October 10, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted October 10, 2015 I use the K&N oil filters. They come with a 17mm nut welded to the end. Makes removal easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toast Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 The torque value they want for the drain bolt is crazy, like 30ft/lbs... I do 15 and haven't had an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipperT Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 You may want to check it doesn't come loose. 31 ft/lbs on the drain bolt isn't a problem if the washer is new. If you reused the washer (not recommended) and you've already tightened it several times then you may want to back that number down slightly. But I don't know if I would feel comfortable with 15 Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

checkereddemon Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I own a very fine torque wrench indeed, but unless I'm doing internal motor work - not much of that nowadays, I go with my calibrated hands, wrists, and forearms. The idea for all bolts is to snug them down and then give it just a pinch more so that the bolt is stretched just a wee bit. I'm *especially* careful with mating dissimilar metals and generally use either anti-seize or thread locker depending upon the application. In 45 years of riding and wrenching, I've had precious few bolts come loose, nor have I stripped more than a small handful. But then again, I don't ride Harleys and other such bikes that have paint shaker motors... -CD- 2015 Yamaha FJ-09: RaceTech Gold Valves, RaceTech Rear Spring, Arrow Full Exhaust - black with w/Carbon Fibre endcap, ECU Flash, Lowered 20mm front, 15 mm rear, Denali driving lights, Fenda Extenda, Tail Tidy, Corbin Seat, Madstad 22" Windshield, OEM heated grips, Woodcraft frame sliders, Grip Puppies, BadAss Cover (Large)....
