How to change the engine oil of a Yamaha R3?

Model: Yamaha R3
Part: Engine oil

Video tutorial

To change the engine oil of a Yamaha R3, start by ensuring that the engine is slightly warm, which will make the oil more fluid. Position the motorcycle on a stable stand for safe working and place a container to collect the oil under the drain plug, located underneath the engine.

Carefully remove the drain plug using an appropriate wrench and let the old oil drain completely. Once drained, replace the plug securely and pour the new oil through the fill opening, following the specifications indicated in the vehicle's manual.

After completing the operation, check the oil level and ensure there are no leaks before starting the engine for a few minutes, allowing the oil to distribute evenly.
