I just brought a stratoliner thank you for education 👍👍 awesome
Phillip Vazquez thanks for watching and great my video will help you save some money.
I like watching videos about our bikes and to check out different ways of doing things. I liked the way you explained everything with detail and in a clear manner. That music in the background was pretty nice too. Keep making videos as good as this one. Have a great year
NEVER, IN MY LIFE, have I thought about a magnet on the filter instead of pan! That's big brain shyt!! Thank you for the tip, I'll be using that!
I can't thank enough I really appreciate your understanding and patients
Much love. Thanks bro! Saved me $130
thanks for this video. Simple, clear and no useless filler gum flappin'.
Watching you along with the great tunes makes me want a have beer 🍺
Happy mom day Frank to your love ones and Lisa. So far I got one built off after I get the other 2 I'll try tomorrow to try getting the metal needle
Hey, just so you know you’ve actually missed one of the oil drain plugs, there are three drain plugs, the main one under the oil tank, and then there’s one directly behind the kickstand, and then there is one just behind the oil filter, and then the oil filter drain.
This just saved me about $1k. Thanks dude!!
Always like hearing my videos help other save them some money and also seeing them do the job themselves. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Whaaaaaaat. Who was going to charge you 1,000$ for an oil change.
Always wanna change your oil pretty much a lot. 😀
Thanks Frank great video...nice and simple...if you do another bike oil change video could you recommend oil weight and type and why? Really enjoyed your background music! Thanks again, Mark Kartic
Hey Frank hope your day is going good just wanted to mention that I try looking online for a diagram of the oil tank to to learn how to take it out but I have no clue . Tomorrow around 2pm I'll try using magnet
Thanks !! You helped me do the oil change on mine!
I found that more old oil drains out from the 2 side plugs when the bike is on the sidestand, not straight up. Otherwise, good video.
Thank you for this. Very helpful
Ok awesome tomorrow I will do ty have a blessed evening
Greetings Frank, I do appreciate your vid on the Roadliner it was nicely done. I have a 2009 and my ? is when tightening the right side bolt closest to the rear wheel there is very little space around the head of the bolt. I can barely get the open end wrench on the head. Do you use a special wrench?
Thank you
Yea leon that bolt has little room for a regular open wrench what I ended doing get a cheap open end wrench and grinding down a little bit to fit. So now I use it on every roadliner I work on. Thanks for watching and subscribe to the channel for future video's if you haven't yet thanks again.
Yes, my 2006 is the same way with three drain plugs. I use a 17mm combination wrench and a mallet to loosen them. Without a floor jack to raise the bike up, I prop the kickstand on a block then strap the bike to my wife's car so the bike won't tip over. "Pain in the back, Yamaha."
A chrome Habor freight Box end is perfect fit. It is bent at a steeper angle than my craftsman.

awesome video - only advice, write the miles/km on the filter with a white marker... anyways that´s what I do.
well done.
Absolutely thank you would you have a idea if I could use Mobil 1 synthetic that's what I use to use on my Suzuki boulevard c50 ?
Phillip Vazquez yes you can synthetic is the best to use always change at 5000 miles that's the starting point of oil breakdown for synthetic.
make sure that mobile one is for v twins. dont put automotive oil in the bike. it has chemicals in it to make it slippery. not good for wet clutch. almost all synthetic oil manufacturers sell v twin now.
Exelent film, i will pass it over to my friends :-)
So far so good Frank but I'm taking it to dealer I have 30 day warranty for them to check out what the leak is because I thought it was me from the get go that I put to much oiled it's still having a little spewing a little on my exhaust pipes I'm not even gonna clean it so they could see what I'm talking about
That bike I no longer have I went through 3 bike already after that one
Ok awesome I really appreciate your help
Phillip Vazquez If you like subscribe to the channel for future videos I upload. it free to do so..
Sorry to bother you I just did the oil change I don't have a option to put it on a jack I'm working on the floor and I was wondering if you could give me a little bit of detail like tool wise I have the stratoliner and that third nut is very impossible for me to reach from the floor I only was able to do 2 out of 3 bolts new oil and new k&n filter . Would it be ok to miss the 3rd one I mean I already road it and put fresh oil ? It's pretty gold color now .
Phillip Vazquez you can use a swirly socket like I used on video best for drain #2 and #3. Drain #1 is the reserve tank were oil is stored #2 & #3 oil in engine two different compartments. Now I don't recommend just draining two locations what you can do is have a friend or wife to hold bike level to get to the drain nut and drain it that's what I use to do before I got lift. Your bike won't go bad the way you did it but you contaminated new oil with old oil on your next oil change ask someone to help leveling bike for you. Hope this will help you for future oil change.
@@franklisatravels9651 Hello friend, I've had mine since new in 2006. I used a 17mm combination wrench to remove the 2 drain bolts. This latest oil change I supported the kickstand with a block and then used a bungee cord wrapped around my wife's car next to the bike to avoid tipping it over. I used a mallet to punch the wrench enough to loosen the plugs.
As wow ok I try to and it doesn't fit very difficult to do the 3rd one I have to take it bake because it doesn't allow to fit ones I attach the 17mm socket the 17mm socket fits but that's it
Phillip Vazquez all 3 bolts are 17mm
One more little question when you could reply back I'm low on hydrolic oil could I just put some in and that's it I'm only asking because I never have a hydrolic clutch?
Phillip Vazquez if you look at the little glass and it show like half you should add some till it show full. Only use dot 4 brake oil only also if you see oil yellow or darker then do a flush on the system. Be very careful when adding dot 4 oil cover gas tank and the left side of bike and keep extra rags dot 4 oil will stain paint, chrome, rubber everything it makes contact.
Thx for the video. Where did you find that jack? Like the size, looks handy.
You can buy one I. Harbor frieght.
Frank may I ask one more question because again I came from a different bike does a stratoliner need antifreeze. Just making sure
Phillip Vazquez I don't know which stratoliner you have but you could see yourself in front of your bike were the oil filter is at it you see a small radiator looking then you have the one if you don't then it's air cooled.
Frank & Lisa Travels I think I have the midnight stratoliner
Phillip Vazquez i believe they are all air cooled same engine on the new venture.
Ok because man yesterday I sure got hot under 90 degree weather 👍
Ok thank you I had great ride yesterday after changing all fluids. I just see it's really difficult to take tank off . I do time I will get it I'm just trying to install the 12v charger that goes on the handle bars
And this is for the hydrolic clutch I'm speaking about?
Phillip Vazquez yes hydraulic clutch takes brake oil Dot 4 only.
Cool
Well Frank I cant get nothing out it's been more then 24hrs draining and I try the magnet stick I also tried taking out the pipes that come out from the oil tank and it doesn't seem like there is nothing there and nothing is graving to the magnet .
Phillip Vazquez well l believe you checked inside the hole with flashlights an can't see it. Try this maybe can help ?? Leave the oil plug off at the bottom an look inside for it maybe it will give a better view.
Frank & Lisa Travels ok I'll try doing that know that I have a mirror also and yes I have all 3 bolts off Spence yesterday.
Well that didn't work I tried this is very exhausting .I really believe that it's not gonna move it's a pretty long needle
Phillip Vazquez well you have 2 options ( 1 ) option tear engine apart and get it out.
( 2 ) option is leave it in because a 6" long it shouldn't go anywhere hopefully.???
If it travels should go to the filter first. Maybe feel the oil line to the filter maybe it in the hose
Frank & Lisa Travels it's staying in there because I'm not gonna tear engine apart ok I'll keep checking but I don't think it's gonna move pretty hard needle
I know it's that I need to have the bike lifted up I realized after not able to turn the wrench it's to close to the floor I was able to do 1 and 3 not number 2
Phillip Vazquez #2 is a little tricky on some other roadliner requires a thin wall 17mm but if you slightly tap with hammer it should go in. Yea also the angle of bike on kickstand won't help also.
I did the transfer case oil too, when I did my oil change... How many miles were on the bike?
Daniel Galli I also did the transfer case oil also that's on an other video come up. Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing to the channel...
Daniel Galli 26000
good video thanx
Gary Slus thank you for watching and liking the video if you like to see upcoming future video's subscribe to the channel it's free thanks again.
I guess tomorrow I'll try filling it up
What tuner is your buddy running with his pipes
None
you didnt show the kind of oil or the number.
Sorry about that. I used Castrol synthetic 20/50 oil
Oil filter size is S6017A (Fram, STP, Yamaha brand, etc.)
Frank I'm sorry to trouble you I have a bit off a situation I didn't have a pump or turkey baster just to remove some oil so I had one of those meat injection needles I hope you know what I'm talking about and the needle part fell inside were you have to put the oil in .😭 I try draining oil all of it I was even able to get the 3rd bolt I put it up on a 2×4 and had my son stand it up for me I even brought a magnet to try graving it nothing so far
Phillip Vazquez if needle fall into oil fill tank then you need to remove oil tank after you drain it out first. Don't start engine at all it going to be some work but you need to get it out. Best to let oil drain out overnights every drop is out then stick a magnet stick and try to locate it.
Frank & Lisa Travels ok wow I guess I will have to figure out how to remove oil tank it's about 6in long the needle.
Once all the oil is drain out you could probably see the needle with a flash light and pull it out with a magnetic stick
Next time if you add to much oil just open drain 1 and let some oil out..
Frank & Lisa Travels it's pretty long a say about 5 to 6in so I'm sure I didn't move very far so I guess this will be the 3rd time I'll empty oil out how do I remove the oil tank then because I have the slitetes clue. I'll drain oil and I suppose I will have to wait next day then?? To try taking out the metal needle peace
I ment to say aw
Wow really not sure but next time I'll do a better job took me 9hrs to do this with no help and not all the tools
