@Darius Gunn - You only remove the filter when you have drained the oil first. Since you put fresh oil in, you do not remove the oil filter. You will have to start over.

Hey Cyclecruza! Love the videos just bought a 2007 CRB 600RR today, Love it! Previous owner said it's due for an oil change so thanks for the helpful video! BTW where did you see that using diesel oil is ok on a sportbike? I'm not an expert just was surprised.. I'm going to use what the Honda owners manual suggests: Pro Honda GN4 SAE 10W-30 $27.95 Amazon Prime.

Same basic steps for all motorcycles really, just like most car oil changes are the same except the oil filter maybe located in a different location. Fairly easy. Just make sure to replace the seal washer that goes on the drain bolt, avoid using the same one.

I disagree on tool tightening the oil filter, hand tightening the oil filter is a better option. Tool tightening can risk over tightening of the filter, the seal can be compromised and start to leak. I always have hand tighten mine and never have a problem, I usually have to use a tool to get it off, which is a good sign.
@CycleCruza10 жыл бұрын
If you have a good torque wrench you will not have any worries. The K&N filter has a nut on the end so it makes it very easy to tighten to spec. I've never had a problem. If you under tighten the filter you can also get a leak, it's. always best to follow the manufacturer's specified torque level.
@TheSoulMan1110 жыл бұрын
CycleCruza If you over tighten then your seal will leak. I've hand tighten mine and i;ve only had to use a tool to get it off. its a factor that I was trying to eliminate, there are sometimes better ways then the manufacturers spec.

Better ways than what hundreds of engineers and millions of dollars have figured out? Not likely. I hand-tight oil filter on my cars and true, they don't leak. But when it comes to my baby, I always buy the right tools and torque to exact specs.

CC, I got an oil change and it took a tech for a while to do an oil chant then usual. Then he took my bike for a ride and came back. After that when I was going home I smelt burning dry leaves/wood. I stopped to check but didn't see a thing. Next day I'd start the bike and it would start smelling again then go away. Do you know what that could be? I asked people how burning oil smells and they say it doesn't smell nothing like leaves/wood. I should of asked a tech, but didn't think much of it. Any ideas what smell could be? Thx man!

As I was changing the oil on my 2007 cbr I took off the 12mm bolt and let the oil drain completely then I put fresh 4qt of oil back in however I attempted to take off the oil filter and it would not come off and the bolt was so stripped that I could fit a 16mm on it.. I have the special Honda tool but I suppose it too late to take off the filter with the fresh oil in the system?? I haven't driven the bike just ran it for 4 minutes that's all. What do I do?

Hey so my 2008 cbr600rr needs an oil change but long story short I have to wait about a month until I can change it. I've already driven about 200 miles and with the light on and was wondering how bad this is for the engine? I want to keep riding but the oil change light is scaring me and I don't want to mess up the Bike.. What do you think? Should I stop riding for a while or it's not too big a deal? I'm a new rider so I don't really know how bad this is..
@MotoBikeMike7 жыл бұрын
Giomar Jaramillo that's not an oil change light that's a warning your oil is too low and should put more oil in it if you were in able to change the oil. if your engine runs out of oil your engine will seize and it'll be a paper weight.

CycleCruza Any idea why my 08 cbr600rr will not start up? Battery is good. I have it on the tender. I have not touched anything else on the bike. After trying to start. I can smell a little gas fumes. Tried again this morning and while trying to start it let off a pop from the muffler. Read on 600rr.net forum that it could be my spark plugs. If so, is that a pretty easy DIY job? This would happen since I was about to do an oil change and let the oil warm up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
