How To: Oil Change for 2009 Ninja 250r

Hello again I said I was going to give you guys a DIY Oil Change and here it is. I screw up a couple of times with the oil filter so don't roast me too hard for that. Also if you're one of those guys that has to use the torque wrench or it's not right don't bother commenting on me not using one it works without. One last thing the video is actually 2 combined and was longer than 10 min that's why it jumps sometimes.

@IcePickSnowmanzzzz It's mechanically the same bike, with and without fairings, some people like "naked" bikes, some prefer fairings.

Personally if I were going for a 600, it wouldn't be one with a parallel twin, I would want the screaming 4 cylinder.

@NinjaRider777R thank you for the advice, i have a question for you do you notice the similarities between the kawasaki er-6n and ninja 650r i dont understand why make two bikes that are so similar to each other but so different

@IcePickSnowmanzzzz My next oil change is going to be Royal Purple Max Cycle 10W40 with a K&N oil filter, as soon as I can get the new crush washer, and a 17mm socket.

I want to see if the RP oil lives up to it's claim of "more horsepower".

If you're just doing your first oil change at the recommended 400 miles, don't worry about which oil it is, just make sure it's 10W40 natural and not synthetic.

Check the ninjette . org forums, there's a full set of DIY guides there of all kinds.

@NinjaRider777R thats what makes this country great.no disrespect intended. i guess a better way to say it is what is the most popular brand for a ninja that works the best, in youre opinion

One thing you forgot to tell people when you made the video is to replace the "crush washer" on the oil drain plug every time you change the oil. It's designed to deform and make a tight seal when the bolt is torqued to the right specs.

It's a 12mm crush washer.
