Beans Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Hi. Not at all technical but changing the oil and filter looks within my compass. As I'm running the bike in I believe frequent oil changes are good. In the manual it states to replace the filter and the o ring. Does the o ring come in the box with the new filter? Only googling for oil filter o ring yamaha mt125 doesn't return any results suggesting you don't buy them separately?Forgive the ignorance. Quote
Westbeef Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 It will come together with the filter, rub some oil on it too before you install it . Quote
fastbob Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 It will come together with the filter, rub some oil on it too before you install it . I'm inclined to agree that the O ring does come in the box , in fact I can clearly remember there being O rings in the boxes of the hundreds of paper element type oil filters that I sold when I worked for M&P . However, looking through everything that's on eBay I can see no evidence at all of O rings being included. I guess if the bike is still being run in it probably wouldn't hurt to re use the original O ring at least once. Quote
Westbeef Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 My last one was fixed to the filter already didn’t come off . Not that I tried to hard to pull it off. Quote
megawatt Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Every filter I've ever bought includes an O ring. Quote
Beans Posted March 2, 2018 Author Posted March 2, 2018 Er, ordered an official oil filter and guess what? No o ring Quote
megawatt Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 You may need a tool to remove the old filter.You could risk using the old seal. Get the oil as hot as possible before you drain it and make sure you remove the correct drain bolt. Quote
oldgrump Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Hi There's no o ring fitted on the oil filter for a mt125, there's a casing o ring, which is shaped to the casing, but no o ring just for the filters, they just push on. Held in place by outer casing. Quote
Beans Posted March 3, 2018 Author Posted March 3, 2018 I think it's a terminology thing. If you can take a look at this YouTube video From 6:38 to 7:00 and beyond. That seal, what's it called and where do I get one? Quote
