I have 2001 WR400F, it looks absolutely identical, however doesn't have oil filler cap on the engine.
At your video at 5:09 I just below your hand is some sort of screw. I mistook it for the filler cap, unscrewed and poured 1 liter of oil into it. I also poured 1 liter using the upper hole. The bike started and worked for 5 minutes ok. Now I got home from the garage and found that this screw wasn't a oil filler cap :( My question is - did I screw my engine up?
Cool Videos, pretty helpfull for us new to the dirt bike scene, i Ride a 2005 WR250F and everytime i abuse a little on my Clutch i have to start messing around with the regulation while on the trail! is this normal?
Hello, great video, very instructive. Can you help me, I change the rear tire for the first time on my WR250 2009, and can get the chain and tire align properly. Do you have any sugestions or tips, Thank you Cris
I got a question, I have a wr450f and I am changing the oil and the filter, the book says I need to put in 0.95L for a regular oil change. 1.0L if I change the filter, but then it say "Total amount 1.2L" Where did the 1.2 come from? Do I put 1.0 or 1.2L?
@RobbieWright Start with the lower amount, run the bike and then let it sit for a few minutes. Check the oil and see if you need to add more. That is what I would do. If you are worried about it I would call your dealer.
@dirtbikevids i also have a 450 and the dealer says there was a filter or something behind the resiovor drain but it says when i check the oil let it run for 2minutes then set for 2 then check but mine keeps squirting out after 10!!! but i know i put the right amount in my dad says it ain't draaining quick enough to the motor i am completely dumbgounded i just got the bike yester day my dad says he wasn't sure im 16 by the way but i had to take the gas tank off to change the plug
Great Job on the videos, the only thing i would add is a warning not to lose the rubber orings under the oil filter cover and screen pipe, as I have done this ;)
using compressed air to blow the strainer and filter is a good idea as well. blow from the inside out on a steel reusable oil filter to remove any left over contact cleaner and metal shavings as well as dirt. same can be done for the oil strainer.
The steel oil filter might save money, but if you have to clean it... why not stick with the normal filters. Fresh and clean. Another 5* vid, thanks again!
The paper oil filters will work fine, the only reasons to switch are to savec $, and you will never run out of filters and have to go to the store. It only take a couple a seconds to clean it.
I have tried watching this video from three different computers and it seems to be working. I am not sure what is wrong. Did you search you tube for wr250 oil change to bring it up? That is what I did and it worked. If it still isn't working let me know.
jesus h christ, just pour the god damn oil into the bike and be done with it already
