Oil change and sprocket cover?
Evening all
I notice that when you go to do an oil change,the handbook says to remove the camshaft sprocket cover and with this not being immediately obvious to me,I was wondering if someone could tell me why I would do this? Cheers! PS ive just found an older post with the very same Q. All I could think was a vacuum,but the area around there shouldnt be of concern really and it seems the answer seemed to be not to bother removing it? The handbook actually highlights the cover's outline in black,so its obviously not a mistake I wouldnt have thought. Its from the 2010 XT handbook of the Forum and is at Chapter 3/24. Any new thoughts about this? Cheers again! Last edited by Ame; 17-01-18 at 01:03. Reason: found an older post |

your post is in the XT660 section.
Mine is an XT660R 2009 and there is no mention of any cover. you basically remove the two drain plugs and the filter cover. the srpocket cover is near the bottom drain plug but causes no obstruction. HAve I missed something? |

would be useful if you scanned & posted the page showing this.
BTW by" camshaft sprocket cover" do you mean the cylinder head cover at the top of the engine? |

well thats new to me....
but the only reason i can come up with is to brack any vacume that could stop the oil draining maybe if there is any oil in the breathers it could stop air venting back into the motor stoping complete draining of the oil..... really no idea... .

this looks like an addition to the manual compared to mine (2009).
could have to do with what petenz posted but anything I can say would be a guess. Since there is no diffinitive answer, I would ask a yamaha mechanic about this otherwise do the first oil change by the book making note of how much oil you collected then doing it again without removing the cam cover plate & compare the results. |
