How much oil should you get out when doing an oil change on an 08 rmz 250 ? We got out 150ml of brown green oil.
4 stroke oil
- Thread starter sketchedlb
- Start date
Had only about 5 hours use
well you arent draing the right thing inless there is a huge hole in your case or the motor smokes like a fog machine...
If i run the motor before, is there any chance the oil is hiding in the motor somewhere?
Wait i warmed the bike up with the choke on for a minute or so, then stopped the engine, as just after the engine stopped (split second) it backfired, mabe because istopped it while the choke was on. Left it for a bit to go get some paper towel, came back and wanted to start it, 3 kicks didn't start, (usually in 1-3) so i thought il leave it and do the change. Not sure wether just because it was warm or ive done something bad. Please God make it be alright !!!
Anyone ?
Don't like to jump to conclusions but i think that garage may be a bit short of buisness.

If you aren't sure if you have enough oil in it DON'T START IT!!!
Is there an oil sight glass, if so check it. If not make sure all your oil is out then fill it back up. Check your manual (or search online) for how much is needed and fill it with that amount. FYI you'll typically have 3 different fill amounts; dry, with oil filter change, and without oil filter change.

1.5 minutes and then a 10 minute sit isn't enough warm up time. My bike takes 1.1 lieters of oil, so i just use 1 since some gets left in there anyway through the change. I run my bike about 5 minutes then do it right after. The other thing is you need to make sure to open up the air screw to let it properly flow or open up the cap on your case you pour the oil in.
