Oil Change on WR450F
On the Yamaha WR450F, the oil and oil filter need to be changed every 1000 km. If the motorcycle is used in sports, change it every fifth race or training session. In the manual, it is recommended to use oil with a viscosity from 10W30 to 20W50 that meets API SG or higher. We use a synthetic 10W50 racing oil, which is perfect for intensive use in different conditions.
The Yamaha WR450F is suited for riding outside the city because it has lights and a dashboard, so it is often used as a road bike. This type of motorcycle has a relatively short engine life. Service costs money and takes a lot of time, because spare parts are not always available right away.
In general, the oil change procedure on the Yamaha WR450F is quite standard. There are three oil drain points. If you rock and tilt the motorcycle, you can drain almost all the oil. When replacing the filter, it is important not to lose the rubber spacers!
