How to Change the Engine Oil of a Yamaha R1M?

Model: Yamaha R1m
Part: Engine oil

Video tutorial

To change the engine oil of a Yamaha R1M, the first step is to place the bike on a stand to keep it stable and secure. Ensure the engine is warm, but not hot, to facilitate the oil drainage.

Under the engine, locate the drain plug, position a container underneath it, and unscrew the plug with the correct spanner. Allow it to drip completely, taking care not to spill oil outside the container.

Once the old oil has fully drained, replace the drain plug, tightening it well but without over-tightening to avoid damaging the threads. Now you can proceed to pour new oil into the engine.

Use the oil recommended in the bike's manual and pour slowly through the top cap, frequently checking the level with the dipstick. When you reach the correct level, close the oil cap and briefly start the bike to circulate the new oil within the engine.
