Oil Filter

[Yager200i]

The OEM oil filter for the Kymco Yager GT 200i is apparently Part# 1541A-KKC3-900 Model# SH30DB $19.00

There is an alternative, from Britain I believe, that KymcoForum member CROSSBOLT found. It's called the HiFlo Filtro HF562. It's an exact replacement for the OEM filter, except it's got more pleats (and hence more surface area, and hence more flow).

Now, if you do a Google search on that filter, you'll get a whole heap of websites overseas that are selling it, and if you do an advanced search to filter those out, for some reason you won't get many results of American companies selling this filter.

But, I found one:
DennisKirk.com
Part #: 304961
$3.90

I just ordered 10 of them. Shipping was around $8.00 for the cheapest shipping option, but they've got plenty of other shipping options if you need the filters fast.

Yager, I found a place in Branson, MO that stocks LOTSA HiFlofiltro filters: Hollister Cycle actually in Hollister, MO. Tel 417-337-5757. His price is about what you found. Actually, I just repeated what somebody said here or on Chinese Scooter Forum but I may have been one the first to actually use one.

As CapnJ pointed out, there's a third place to order the HF562 oil filter:
cheapcycleparts.com $3.47

Last night I changed my oil and filter, had 1500 miles on the scoot and decided to switch to Mobil 1. The filter from cheapcycleparts fit nicely. I'll be ordering several more. At less than $4 ea I can get 4 or 5 for the price of one Kymco filter.

A week ago, I ordered 5 HiFlo Filtro HF562 filters from DennisKirk.com (part number 304961).  They arrived yesterday (Friday), and I completed my first oil filter replacement in about 10 minutes.  The only snag I encountered was discovering and removing the old rubber washer as it had become separated from the filter body that I was replacing.

Now to find an air filter supplier.

Thanks!

Can anyone provide more detailed instructions on changing oil and filter for Yager200i and also for transmission oil to. Thanks

It is pretty straightforward.  Be certain that the bike is on the main (center) stand.  First I removed the oil dipstick.  Then I put a larger than necessary pan under the oil plug and removed the plug so that the oil emptied into the pan.  (If you are not changing the filter, (I think it is foolish not to change it), allow the oil to flow into a measuring cup so that you can replace the exact amount that you remove (0.95 qts).  Next remove the 3 screws that retain the filter.  While removing the screws, keep your thumb in the middle of the filter retainer so that you don't loose the washer and spring.  The new filter goes in with the hole side first.  Don't forget the washer & spring, watch the way they come out so that you can put them in the same way.  Replace the filter retainer screws and the plug.  Torque the retainer screws to 8.6 ft/lbs, and the oil plug to 18 ft/lbs.  Wipe everything clean.  Then with a funnel pour a full quart (required when you change the filter) of oil in through the dipstick hole.  Run the engine for a few minutes to let the filter get full of oil.  Stop the engine and check the oil dipstick.
For the transmission I also used a larger than neceessary pan.  First I removed the upper fill plug.  Then, with the pan in place, I removed the lower drain plug.  I continued to turn the wheel until I was certain that the tranny was empty.  I replaced the drain plug.  Now comes the fun part.  I'm sure that there are other ways to do it, but this worked well for me.  I used a measuring cup to determine how much came out.  Then I put that much (6.4 oz.) SAE 90 gear oil into a flex nozzel pump type oil can and squirted it into the fill hole until the can was empty.  Replace the plug and torque it to 9.5 ft/lbs.

Would Mobil 1 - 4 stroke motorcycle oil full synthetic 10w 40 be good for the yager? the manual calls for 15w 40 ??

Probably not until it is broken in, then it will be fine.

I had my first service done at the dealer   at 575 miles - they said they used full synthetic oil but did not have an oil filter in stock so they reused the original one - should I replace the filter and oil myself or wait until the next service interval for the oil. The dealer also told me if I do the oil myself I will void the warranty, is that BS or real?? So the 10w-40 synthetic is ok now that its broken in??

YOU WILL NOT VOID THE WARRANTY BY DOING THE OIL YOURSELF.  THE OIL FILTER SHOULD BE CHANGED ESP AT THE BRAKE IN SERVICE.

As per my opinion it is very annoying Situations because of selection of oil filter. The particular kind of wrench you choose is based on the positioning of the filter mount. You need to prepare for the oil filter change before starting work.

Oil filter is mainly used in the bikes and light aircraft or in a scooters. Some bike makers are used oil filters because there is usage of low quality oil.
