I just found this interesting video on Oliepei.nl on how to change the oil filter of a motorcycle. In Moto22 we have already talked on other occasions about minimum maintenance and the occasional "botch" to keep our bike in perfect condition, but we have never had videos of this style.

In this case, the steps to follow are simple, first drain all the oil from the crankcase through the drain screw, then unscrew the filter (which in this case is a cartridge type) and replace it with a new one. Special care must be taken to grease the O-ring that these filters usually carry with oil when mounting the new one.

In the video they emphasize that the filter should not be over-tightened, as it is a delicate piece and has a seat that can be easily disturbed. Finally, it is necessary to replace the drain screw and its gasket and fill with the correct amount and type of oil recommended by the manufacturer. Oh, and you also have to be especially careful when disposing of used oil, which must be taken to a clean point or to a workshop that has recycled oils, because it cannot be thrown into the drain or into the trash without further ado.

In the YouTube channel where this video is published there are many more explaining things as simple as the play of the clutch lever or even how to tension the chain. Although the images are in English, they are explicit enough that they do not need much translation.

In short, it is a crash course in "daily mechanics" for anyone with a modicum of interest in keeping their motorcycle up to date. Of course, we must always be careful with what we do, because in the end if you spoil something or leave something wrong, you are the one who goes on top of the motorcycle and the one who can hit it.
