[dawgsgo]

Have two 04 FX140s and have done this a few times. Helpful to get a refresher. Thanks.

Your video saved me an hour drive one way to the closest yamaha dealer let alone labor costs.

Thanks Mohammad! I have actually ridden an RXPX 260. Extremely fast and awesome ski!
I also have a friend who is an awesome PWC mechanic. By his own admission, he sees more doos and Kawis in the shop than any kind of Yamaha! Yamaha is most reliable PWC out in the market! If I were to choose between the two for myself, I would only look at FZR.

So, it's 2020 during the COVID-19 crisis...and you're still helping people. I bought a 2005 FX HO with 200 hours on it that was maintained REALLY well. Thanks to you, I'm keeping that maintenance going. Hope this comment finds you well.

You can never get rid of all of the old oil on a dry sump system like Yamaha MR1 engines have unless if you do an ''engine oil flush''. The Yamaha owner's operator's manual says on page 91: Engine oil quantity with filter replacement 2.2 liters. Engine oil total capacity 4.5 liters.That means that every time you change the oil on that engine or put it better you think that you are changing the oil 2.3 liters of the old oil remains in the dry sump system.

Hell of a lot easier if you pull that aircleaner box off first. Can see what you're doing.

This was excellent. I did everything mentioned and it worked like a charm. Very excited to do this myself as a nubie. Thank you very much!!!!

I've been using torque wrenches for decades and never knew to not store them set at torque.  Thanks for that tidbit

well done video, thanks for sharing your experience. I just changed the oil and filter on my 06 FX HO Cruiser after watching your video. Was only able to siphon 1.75q out of the oil sump no matter how I oriented the pickup tube. Had a little trouble removing the old filter but had a strap wrench that worked finally. Great suggestion about the filter with the nut, I will order 2 more KN303 for next change. After the oil change, it's running great. I'm going to slide open the old filter and inspect it. I was getting intermittent oil pressure light at 2000 rpm, this motor was completely rebuilt over the winter so I suspect maybe a partially clogged filter. was planning to change to the oil and filter anyone. hope this solves the problem.

Hello Mr. CaptainsAviation, I just watch another guy's video (Jay & Family's friends adventure) and sucks the oil from two locations. From a oil hose and from the dipstick hole. He extracted about 3.5 quarts out. And it is a Yamaha 2017 xv cruiser. Please do not get upset, I am just trying to exchange information. Thanks again,

Capn,
Thanks so MUCH for this video! It has taken the guess work out of a important and costly at the dealer routine maintenance and made it look easy. Well Done.
