[QUOTE="RaYzerman19, post: 1166260, member: 18388"] The best oil filter wrench I have found is a set of pliers made for this, shaped much like the Craftsman Bio-wrench above. I would use conventional motorcycle oil for the first oil change. Do not torque the oil drain plug if you're using a new Yamaha crush washer, tighten until it starts to crush and stop. Otherwise, you can use a flat aluminum washer (Honda) and torque to 22-24 ft. lbs. Not sure if Mama Yama revised the torque spec for GenIII or not (previous was 31 and was WRONG!). I'd check the steering head bearing torque any time now. [/QUOTE]
