Good Afternoon!
Hope yall are having a nice day. Just bought a FZ6R 2015 about a month ago. Been riding only for a couple of months. Had used a friends 84 Honda Magna for a bit before this bike. Got my licenses officially two days ago, I have to wait for two weeks for the new drivers licenses to show up.
Going to be doing my first oil change for this bike. I'm the second owner, the bike has ~1500 miles on it. Not sure if the previous owner changed the oil but when I change it going to change the filter as well. Just want everyone's thoughts.
Intent of riding: Going to be using this as my commuter. At least an hour every day of riding. I attend college currently. I plan on holding onto this bike while I'm in college, which will be at least 3 more years.
Location: Bay Area, California
Details: All seasons except snow. Never colder then 32, never hotter then 113.
Oil of choice: 10W-40 Synthetic Metric Motorcycle Oil from AMSOIL. Going to buy a couple of gallons.
Details: Been reading around this forum for a while. Some people swear by this brand. So gonna trust and take the leap. Anyone have any thoughts on this particular oil ?
Oil Filter of choice: K&N KN-204 Motorcycle/Powersports High Performance Oil Filter.
Details: Going to see if I can buy these in bulk since they are more pricey then other ones. I like the nut on top. Again any thoughts on this oil filter? I was close to going with AMSOIL EaOM Motorcycle Oil filter since it goes hand in hand with the oil you know? Thoughts on that as well?
My main concerns are oil filter and oil choice. Any thoughts? I did do a lot of reading throughout the forums but couldn't find what I was looking for exactly so I thought I would make a post.
Some personal thoughts:
I have read here that the first oil filter's gonna be a *(#$ to remove. hahah.. Damn, I don't have the correct filter wrench thing-a-bob but I'll figure it out.
Have a nice day guys. Thanks in advance.
