At least you have a center stand, but it did look like a pain with the filter. I'm going to see if they have one like you used to replace it with, for mine. great ideal!
yep, I found a filter, I'm glad you posted this video. I have cataracts and that kind of screwed my riding up, but I got new glasses and can do ok on sunny roads. I hope to post a ride or two soon.
I realise this is quite an old video, but are you sure you should be using "Fully Synthetic Oil" ? the general feeling is these older bikes work a LOT better on Semi Synthetic, and using anything else can cause real issue's down the road.
@@MothershipVideos Manufactures often get things initially wrong though in my experience, I have seen many cases of companies changing the recommended oils in their cars/bikes after a couple of Years, and looking on some forums, there are some horror stories regarding engine wear after using Fully Synthetic, I will personally be using Semi when I do mine in a couple of weeks :)
I also change with the engine cold, just let it drain for at least 10 minutes, 100% fewer burnt hands. You will never drain all the old oil, there is always some oil sitting up the top. When the guy in the vid fired the bike and remeasured the oil level, notice it was darker after mixing with the remaining old oil still inside.
It was bad enough watching you drain the sump but when you attempted the filter with the wrong tool I had to turn it off. Was this supposed to be an instructional video or one to show how incompetent you really are. Buy the right tools & oil changes on a 1400 are a breeze but from the bit I watched I think you should send the bike elsewhere for service. If you managed to get it together did you strip the sump plug thread like most that have no idea?
Good to see you giving love to the world famous MOTHERSHIP. Such a beautiful ship you have!
I suppose it is getting to world famous. Well amongst 3 or 4 people anyway!
Had my 14 for 12 years. Done many oil changes. And yes the right tools make it easy and routine.
Yeah Mate the correct tools certainly make life easier. Thanks for commenting and ride safe.
Having the right tools make it easy.
The right tools would have made it easy - for sure. Won't have to worry next time thanks to that hex nut :-D. Thanks for watching.
I use to do it by myself too but with the Suzuki special tool. Very easy bro. Takes just a few min.👍✌️
Thanks for that Eric...ride safe.
great video, love the editing.a good tip that I got was loosening the oil filter slightly before getting the exhausts hot. cheers
Mate don't know how I missed your comments but that seems like a great idea. Ride safe.

Those hot pipes are a pain when doing oil changes! Great video 😀
A pain was right. Thanks for watching.
Like the filter change on a 4A-FE. Reaching between the exhaust pipes and the hot engine. Burny.
Man that made me laugh hard when he got burnt
Always an adventure! Guess they know us bikers like a good challenge!
I learnt something I suppose. That will come in handy next oil change if I remember-haha
That is the great thing about being burnt.. you always remember the next time. :)

Hope you can find one. Well worth the couple of bucks extra. Where have you been anyway?

Look forward to it.
sure is a pain with the hot exhaust there so design oh well it is what it is must do the maintenance
True that.

Hey thanks for watching. As long as the oil is within the manufactures specs all is good. Ride safe.

Semi synthetic it needs
At least your new filter has a bolt head on top, easy to remove next time.
Yep it was way easier! Thanks for watching and commenting.
I change my oil and filter when the engine is cold. I've never seen a valid argument to do it when hot.
I'm sure the reason is because the oil becomes thinner and will therefore drain more rederly, is that how you spell it?, Anyway ride safe.
readily......stay upright..;)
You can buy a proper drain pan for the oil. A bowel lot lower than the one hes using

Mate to have put you through my incompetencies in the oil change dept. No didn't strip the sump plug thread. Ride safe and thanks for watching.
A bit on the nasty side, and that didn’t need to be said like that..
@@carld1612 So you want me to applaud total incompetence?
