Do I need to change anything else when I do a motorcycle oil change?

like clutch fluids and anything elseDo I need to change anything else when I do a motorcycle oil change?
Depends on the bike. On my HD I change engine oil %26amp; filter, transmission oil, primary chaincase oil. My imports took 1 oil for everything, in the same case.


Whatever the bike, an oil change is a good time to go over everything else. Check/lube cables, check/adjust/lube chain, check quantity and quality of antifreeze (if water-cooled), check brake pads, clean/replace air filter, check tire condition/pressure.


Those are the basics. The owner's manual will contain a recommended schedule. If it's a new bike, you should have it. If it's an old/used bike, it would be nice to have. I strongly recommend a service manual. Even if all you do is oil changes. Do I need to change anything else when I do a motorcycle oil change?
A good habit to get into is to check the tightness of bolts when you're doing your oil change. check the axle nut, pinch bolts, brake caliper bolts, motor mount bolts, handlebar bolts, bar end bolts, footpeg bolts, exhaust hanger bolts, steering stem nut etc... A friend of mine once lost his steering stem nut on a ride, not pretty. also spin your rear wheel and check the chain, if there are some tighter spots you may need to adjust the slack or get a new chain.
For future reference, always give year, make, engine size and model # when asking questions. We need all of that info to give an informed answer.





Some Yamahas have a transfer gear case, separate from the crankcase.


Shaft drive bikes have gear oil in the final drive case.


Honda 4 stroke dirt bikes have 2 drains - one for the engine oil and another for the crankcase oil.


Some dirt bikes use the frame tubes to hold some of the oil - the frame has to be drained.


EVERY motorcycle has it's own quirks and idiosyncrasies.


NEVER work on a new or unfamiliar bike without a service manual.

Oil filter. Most people do that every second oil change, but filters don't cost much and they really help the oil stay good in there.





There's no need to change anything else, but depending on miles you may want to do the air filter and lube the cables. All pretty easy after you've done it the first time!
Dont you hate smart asses,when you change your oil and oil filter depending on how many miles you've rode since you changed your plugs ,wires and air filteryou should do that to.
RTFM... Read The Freakin Manual.
The clutch fluid is the oil in a 2 stroke.


Change the filter too
I agree with mike READ THE MANUAL!
