Vibration After Oil Change

Getting extra vibes through the handle bar after recent oil change. Old oil and filter was Liqui Moly 10W60 API SL JASO MA2 synthetic and HiFlo HF551. New oil and filter is Motul 10W60 MA2 synthetic and Bosch 3330.

The Liqui Moly oil was PAO group 4 and the Motul is Ester Group 5. I don't think that's anything to do with it, just noting the different base oil in each.

How much oil will I lose when swapping out the Bosch 3330 for another trusty HF551 (i.e. changing filter w/o draining sump)? I have plenty of Motul 10W60 on hand to fill back to spec afterwards.

I really doubt the vibration is from the oil change or from the Bosch filter. You should be looking somewhere else for the cause of the vibration. When were the throttle bodies last synchronized?

Strange post. Not sure what to say. I’m with John here.

However…

In answer to the above original question, this depends how fast and dexterous you are. Probably a cup or 2 if you are quick and smooth. I suggest that you do this on a stone cold engine.
