Yamaha MT-03 660cc: how to change oil + oil filter

How to change the Yamaha MT-03's oil. Also explained how to replace the filter. http://www.startersmotor.nl

Step 1: Place the MT-03 on its sidestand, start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes to warm up the oil. Turn it off after a few minutes and let it cool down a bit.
Step 2: Remove the oil filler cap on top of the oil tank. Be careful of the exhaust, it can be hot.
Step 3: Place a drain pan underneath the engine drain bolt and use a ratchet with 17mm socket counter-clockwise to loosen the drain bolt.
Be careful, the oil can still be hot!
Step 4: Catch the oil in the drain pan, wait until it's finished draining. Tip the MT-03 a littie bit over the sidestand to drain a little extra oil which is still in the engine.
Step 5: Place the drain pan underneah the oil tank. Loosen the oil tank drain bolt also with a 17mm socket counter-clockwise and wait until all oil is in the drain pan.

Step 6: Remove the oil filter cover with an inbus bit that fits (allen/hex). Some oil will flow, so wipe that with a cloth.
Step 7: Remove the used oil filter element.
Step 8: Replace old o-ring from oil filter cover and the smaller o-ring still on the engine, rub the new o-rings in with a little bit of oil
Step 9: Place new oil filter and place the oil filter cover back in it's place. You can prepare the oil filter with some oil before placing it, I did not do this.
Use 10Nm of torque on these bolts. If you don't have a torque wrench, tighten them, but once they are tightened, do not overtighten them. Overtightening can result in leakage.
Best to use a torque wrench so you can set it at a max of 10Nm.

Step 10: Place new copper washers on both drain bolts before placing them back.
Step 11: Place the drain bolts again. This can be done with 30Nm of torque. If you use too much force, you can destroy the thread resulting in oil leakage.
In the video I use a torque wrench at 24Nm (could not set it higher) and a little bit of extra force. Just tighten it, but don't overtighten your bolts.

Once the bolts are placed, it's time to add oil.
Place the bike upright in a stand. You can also fill her up on the sidestand, but when checking the oil level, the bike must be upright.
Step 12: Use the funnel to add 2 liters (2.11 US qt / 1.75 Imp. qt) in the oil tank. Place the oil cap.
Step 13: Start the engine, wait a few seconds then race it 5 or 6 times. Turn off the engine.
Step 14: Remove oil cap again and add 1 liter of oil (1.05 US qt / ) or 1.1 liters (1.17 US qt / 0.97 Imp. qt) when you also replace the oil filter. After that, place back the oil cap.
Step 15: Loosen the bleed screw on the oil filter cover to let it bleed some oil. This is to remove
any air in the housing of the oil filter. As soon as it bleeds oil, tighten it again.

Run the engine for a few minutes and check for leakages. If you see one, turn off the engine and check for the cause.
Turn the engine off, wait 2 minutes then take out the oil cap to check oil level.
Remember: Bike must be upright, not on its side stand.
Checking oil with a dry sump engine like the MT-03 is a pain in the *ss, in my video it read as too low. This is when people start adding more oil and the engine gets too much oil.
I know I just added 3 liters, so I did not add any more to it.

Dispose the used oil at a designated collection site in your area.
