Model: Yamaha R7
Part: Engine oil

To change the motor oil of a Yamaha R7, start by parking the bike on a flat and stable surface, using a stand to keep it in a vertical position. Before proceeding, make sure the engine is warm, as warm oil flows more easily. Locate the oil drain plug, usually located on the bottom of the engine; unscrew it with a suitable wrench and let the used oil drain completely into a proper container. It is advisable to have a sufficiently large pan to collect all the used oil. Once the oil has stopped dripping, screw the drain plug back in, making sure it is tight to avoid leaks. At this point, locate the oil fill cap, which is usually on the top of the engine. Use a funnel to pour in the new oil, being careful to follow the manual's instructions regarding the type and amount of recommended oil. After filling, start the engine and let it run for a short period to allow the oil to circulate. Finally, check the oil level using the dipstick and make sure there are no visible leaks.
