How to Change the Gearbox Oil on a Yamaha V-Star 650?

Model: Yamaha V Star 650
Part: Engine oil

Video tutorial

To change the gearbox oil on your Yamaha V-Star 650, start by parking the bike on a flat surface and ensure it is stable. First, warm up the engine slightly to help the oil flow better.

Position a drain pan under the drain bolt of the gearbox, located beneath the engine. Use a spanner to carefully unscrew the drain bolt and allow the old oil to drain completely.

Once finished, re-tighten the drain bolt securely. Now, remove the filler cap of the gearbox and pour in the new oil specified in the owner's manual.

Gradually top up until you reach the correct level, then re-fit the filler cap and ensure it is sealed properly. Finally, start the engine and check for any leaks.
