600 mile Tracer 9GT/MT-09 Oil Change
This is my second 2022 Yamaha Tracer video. It's pretty anal, I know. Keep in mind that the factory-installed oil filter might be on there incredibly tightly, so you'll want to be ready with a filter tool. I used factory parts and conventional Yamalube oil to document this service properly, but I'll be moving on to a full synthetic such as Amsoil or Mobil 4T 10W-40 after this break in period.

Yamaha Tracer 9 GT: Day 1 Oil Change!
zhlédnutí 13KPřed 2 lety
Bought this Tracer 9 GT this morning with 0.2 miles and proceeded to put in 142 miles today. I'll explain in the video why I decided to drop the oil but leave the filter until I reach 600 miles. Sticking with conventional, factory Yamalube. Loving this bike so far!

I made this video for a person buying this bike and thought others might learn something, or at least get a kick out of my idiosyncrasies. It's also a good closeup for someone interested in the CB1100. While the 2013 owner's manual states a recommended oil change interval of 4,000 miles (or one year), later model years of this bike (with no engine changes) have a recommended oil change interval...
Always oil the filter oring..
Yes, always. The Yamaha filter comes pre-lubricated.
Hi, is 10 40 normal for Los Angeles? I filled it yesterday, will there be any problems?
10W-40 is a good choice for LA's climate!
@@scotcopeland8752 It's cold in Los Angeles now))
@@svenmars106 Both 10W-30 and 10W-40 have the same cold weather viscosity. It's the larger number on the upper end that will support higher summer temps
I will add your technique to mine, start the engine for a few seconds and leaving it overnight too. Thank you!
I definitely don't agree with that comment if I'm reading you correctly.
@@scotcopeland8752 Hi Scott, I take it you don’t agree with turning the engine over? I can respect your thoughts, I have found it to produce more oil so it clearly isn’t running without lubricants and probably more than an engine that’s stood for a few days or more.
Will the luggage rack still fit with the turn singles in the factory position?
Sabe dónde puedo conseguir un tablero para una 2002
did you change the exhoust? as far as i know cb 1100 has two side exhoust, left and right...
The 2013 model, as this is, came stock with 4 into 1 exhaust.
Hay there zack mine is 2010 model and was only a 4 into 1 muffler, it was only a 5 speed compared to the latter models that were 4 into 2 exhaust and 6 speed box. But they are a fantastic bike, still have mine and won't be selling it as long as I can ride 😊 cheers mate andy from Australia
Thanks.
And that is a great video. Very instructional, clear, concise, straight to the point. Job well done not only with the video but with the oil change as well. Thanks for sharing this knowledge with us. PS: I hope the Duc in the background did not get jealous! Very nice bikes, sir.
Thanks for your kind words.
Good tip on getting the last bit of oil out. Never saw anyone do that. Thanks, Pal.
Thanks. Yeah that's not something you'll see a tech at a dealership do.
Does doing it yourself not invalidate the warranty?
No, not in the U.S. But I did document the materials used and kept receipts in case push came to shove.
It would in the UK. There are a whole host of other checks that need to be conducted at 600 miles for the warranty to remain in place.
@@ozzi2122Hi, just to let you know. Here in the UK, you can carry out your own service without invalidating your warranty. You will need to use genuine parts, keep the receipts and pictures and follow the periodic maintenance for the mileage. Always check though. I have been servicing my own motorcycles for decades and have never had a problem and have never needed to claim on my warranty. To many people are anal about having a dealer stamp on their service book for some reason. It doesn’t mean that the dealer serviced your bike property when they had it all day and charged you a fortune. Most jobs are quite straightforward and easy once you know how.
@@Splodge4514 Hi. I live in the UK too. I have done all my life - 40 years. Not sure why you’ve assumed otherwise and, believe me, servicing your own bike within the warranty period will potentially invalidate any warranty claims. Service your bike at your own discretion, we are all adults but you run the risk. Waving an oil receipt at your dealership proves nothing.
Hey, question if just over the required oil lvl in motor will it cause the check engine light to come on?
Nope.
@@scotcopeland8752 it did! I drained and replaced the filter and 4.1 qts oil and the high pressure sensor went out, my Honda dealer said that does happen.
@@mariowoodsN5 I stand corrected! Thank you
Thank you I have a 2017 cb1100ex and just getting ready for its first oil change. I bought it with 4700 miles from a great dealer , they serviced with everything and new dunlops I now have 6400 miles.
What a wonderful experience for you!
I really like the lean idea, never thought that much oil would come out after leaning the bike.
Yeah. It varies from bike to bike, depending on the design. Even more oil came out of my CB1100.
Nice presentation for sure. I just picked up one last week. Where did you get the rear rack, if you don't mind me asking. Thanks
I forget now, but it may have been from a Forum member. The classified section. I definitely liked it. Good quality.
I don't understand; you had the bike on center mount on timber plank (you can see it here at time 1:18) and afterward when you went on to lean the bike, it was on the side stand?
Go to 1:09 for the answer.
un lavoro molto accurato
Thank you!
Does the center stand mess up the garage floor?
Nope
I just got mine ridden a few kilometres on it (25). I did look at the oil and the level was way up, when on the stand, hence why I stumbled on your video. I was about to drain some out; mine isn’t discoloured like yours.
Awesome video, thank you so much!
I noticed that these adventure bike make the oil very watery very fast, within about that range 600mi,,,,,, compared to a v-twin, Kawasaki for example after 3,000mi the oil is still red and still looks good, even though 3,000mi is enough and time for an oil change. Now on this type of bike 3,000 miles and your oil looks brown and like pis.
The deal with the T9gt looking over filled in sightglass is due to this same basic motor as previous generation (900 gt) having been canted quite a lot so much so that Yamaha deemed it necessary to put MORE oil than pre 2021 generation. LOL but they did not change the sight glass so it LOOKS overfilled if you put in the specified amount of oil...in fact from everything I can determine IF the oil is not all the way up to top of sightglass then you probably are LOW on oil! It sounds crazy I know but the previous gen 900 which sits differently in the frame takes considerably less oil than the Tracer 9Gt! SAME engine cases same sight glass but it sits less canted in the frame than this ne gen ....so much so that the oil does not have the right level in the pan if you try to run the 900s oil spec! The Tracer 9 (2021+) HAS to be as it were overfillled compared to the 2017=2020 "900" (even though the 900 was really only an 850) My advice is to put in the specified amount of oil for the '21+ model and not worry the sight glass appears overfilled ....in fact IF you start seeing the oil level in sightglass after some miles and some oil burning? I personally would add oil until it is back to the top of the sightglass .....Yes it SUCKS you can no longer eyeball correct oil fill by filling mid sightglass but this is the price we pay for Yamaha's new stiffer frame and better engine placement. The pisser is WHY didnt Yamaha explain this in the manual??? They just leave it a mystery for everyone worrying their engine is overfilled with oil! DANG Yamaha! Seriously???
Good to know, thanks. I will always measure the right amount in a measuring cup.
I also have this bike which I adore.. Re oil change I am thinking as hard as I ride the bike I should change oil every 2500 max I notice the shifting gets clunky and I suspect new oil might smooth that like it seemed to the last change. As far as filter goes I cant see any reason to change it every 2500 I mean surly a quality OEM filter can do 5k miles easily without being anywhere near getting dirty or clogged and it's not the money they are only 13 bucks it is my conscious not to just throw more and more stuff away needlessly ....reducint my "footprint" doing my part/
Unless you are doing near track day level hard riding I'd stick to what the book says. 6k. Maybe 4500 if you want to put your mind at ease.
Wow! I’ve never seen that “lean” technique. Ive got a 2020 Tracer 900GT. I’ll be doing this service this weekend. I only have 3000 mikes, but I want to baby this motor. If I’m changing the filter, is the lean technique necessary?
See the other Tracer video on this channel.
So, the answer was"yes". Thank you!
Where did you buy the center stand? I have an ‘03 ETV1000

Thanks for posting this. I just got a tracer 9 gt. First day out today. 130 miles. Day one oil change done! I'll be doing the Copeland Purge every oil change too :) I used yamalube for this day one oil change, but the only thing going into the bike next oil change forward is AMSOIL, as everyone should do.
You have really nice videos! Great explanations! Very informative. Thanks!
Very kind of you.
This bike is now using 10W-40 Amsoil
The oil level on my Tracer is crammed full. I checked it both cold and after ignition. what do you suggest me? greetings from Italy
Hello! It's probably fine. I find that they take 3 quarts of oil with a filter change, when going by the oil sight glass at least. But, you could always change the oil and refill. It's a very easy job. But, if it's the first filter removal you're going to want an oil filter wrench. The factory really screws them on there!
Curious why the second T9GT? First one with issues?
No, I just have, and have had, the one 2022 Tracer.
@@scotcopeland8752 My bad, I misread the description wording "video" on second T9 part. I changed my oil at 600 miles and everything was normal. I'm coming up on 4000 miles and I'm liking the bike.
@@r0bv123 Cool. I'm at 3200 mi. and just switched to Amsoil. The shifting and clutch feel improved noticeably.
Great video, the lean is awesome to get that extra oil out, thanks for that tip. I noticed the oil was very dark coming in from the dealer and seems over filled; was this the same experience?
Thank you for sharing your video! Very nice and helpful!
Where the all excessive oil coming from when you lean the bike?
Mostly the head and sides of the case.
So basically you can also lean the bike right after you stop the engine, when the oil is still warm and fluid.
That's an impressive amount of extra oil, thanks for the tip
Thanks. Check out my CB1100 video and you'll see even more residual oil from tipping.
Interestingly here in the UK, we don't have a service manual for the Tracer 9 GT it is all digital when you go to the Dealer you just get the handbook.
If you politely email yamaha Europe they will send you a download link for the service manual totally free. I was researching the tracer 7 and asked what the part number was and where I could get it and voilà, a link
I was reading in my manual that to check the oil level the bike is meant to be off any type of stand and held level? To which I thought how the heck can you do that. I’m guessing the slight tilt forward on the main stand makes no real difference? Thanks for your video
Interesting point. I guess we could block up the front wheel, on the center stand, and see if there's much difference in the window. I doubt its that critical, and a little below the high mark is better than a little above.
My owners manual specifies either 10W-30 or 10W-40 oil for the engine. So if I lived in a cooler climate I would run the 30. But I live near the desert and it regularly gets over 100F in the summer so I run 40.
Agreed!
Also if you have issues with wind buffering- buffeting, cheep fix . Large: Puige air foil - louver. It made a difference for my hight and body position.
I hear what you are saying with the looks of break in oil. But break in oil is much a different composition than standard oil and for good reasons. In my opinion refilling it with fresh " break in oil" would have been a better idea. Did you get a recall notice about ECU reflash and potential throttle tube cracking ?
Read my comment below regarding "special break in oil" please. "Break in oil" is a myth in today's production vehicle world. Some aircraft engines following a rebuild and newly built custom hotrod engines utilize an oil that could maybe be termed "break in oil," but in production cars and motorcycles - it's not a thing. Really. In fact, most high performance cars now come from the factory with a full synthetic like Mobil 1. They never even have conventional oil in them.
Do you have any opinion on doing this when your bike is filled with special break in oil? I changed my oil at 250 miles, but when I did, I noticed it had that shimmer of special oil designed for breaking the engine in. I couldn't help but wonder if I should have left it in for a full 600 miles.
Your bike wasn't filled with special break in oil, and you were fine - maybe even smart - to do it early. This break in oil thing is kind of a myth in today's world. Someone might construe conventional, "dino", oil as break in oil before a synthetic is used, but break in oil isn't used in vehicles nowadays.
4:50 I think that oil comes from the oil filter
Thanks. Check my other video on the CB1100. It will occur with the filter removed as well. The residual oil is sitting in the case sides and head. Can be even more in an in-line 4 bike.
the leaning of the bike when changing the oil is really smart. I'm pretty new to motorcycles but I service all my cars and have done a couple oil changes on my bikes and never thought to do that. now seeing how much you got out after leaning I'm going to start doing that as part of my oil change routine thanks so much for teaching me something new love learning new techniques from people with experience. I also have a Tracer 9 GT and the oil level drops a bit when the bike is upright on its wheels as opposed to on the center stand
Thanks for your nice comment. Regarding the oil level part, yes, the oil level on many bikes will go out of the sight glass when on the side stand. Observe/check your oil level only when fully upright, as on the center stand.
hello sir, I have a caponord etv 1000 from 2002, I have some problems with this bike... can you please help me and is it possible to talk with you in private, via Facebook for example? I thank you in advance.
Why do you change the oil with just 160 miles? I thought to upgrade the oil quality but still using yamalube.
When you’re breaking in a new engine, the oil gets filled with a ton of junk from the manufacturing process, as well as parts wearing in and settling. The oil after 100-200 miles is filthy, so the rationale is to change the oil early on so you don’t have all of that stuff circulating for another 500 miles.
Yes, you are right. But oil lubrication is a circular circuit and there is a oil filter on the way so all that junk is kept. I don’t mean you don’t need to do this job. I just say that from my point of view is a bit premature to this job with just 160 miles. Breaking in a new engine takes a bit more miles and working hours. Apart from that good job buddy. Try amsoil and redline oil lubricant. Since I am using that in my tracer the gearbox is really smoth
The filter was doing its job. No need to change the oil that early just because "ew, ew" it wasn't clear anymore.
no need to understand, just change it on time
Hope to see more Tracer content! Are you planning on getting a top case?
Not planning on a top case soon, but they look good on this bike. I don't use the saddlebags full-time either. I have another video coming.
Yer I love my Tracer 9 GT too got mine in Tech Kamo colour and I got it lowered and its amazing.
What do you think of this bike? Im thinking of picking one up and Im curious how confident it is for forest roads.
I like it very much. Great value on the used market. She's a big girl, so to speak, and you'd not want to drop her if possible. Easy to ride though!
Lovely bike. Handsome, sturdy, comfortable with durable engine. Also, easy to maintain.
I don't think it was overfilled. I picked one up on Saturday the 16th and the mechanic told me that cold oil will look perfect in the window but when its hot it will appear overfilled.
Brand new 2013 CB1100 owner here. Got the oil changed successfully on my bike today, and your video was extremely helpful. You are right, the "leaning motorcycle both ways" got some more oil out that didn't come out in the initial drain. Thank you for this video!
Ok
One just came up mint 2500 miles-- 2013 Silver-- asking 4500 think I can get it for 4. What do you think never had a Honda
That's a very good deal. I paid 5,000 for mine used with way more miles than that one. It's been a terrific bike.
The CB1100 is a wonderful bike. A big, very solid UJM.
nice bro . i live in korea and cb1100rs owner . this video is nice and gentlely . Thank u
