Cleaning The Oil Filter On The Honda CB175 / CB200 Family Of Motorcycles

Changing your oil and cleaning your oil filter is the first step in your standard tune-up procedure when working on your Honda CB175 / CL175 / SL175 / CB200 / CL200 vintage motorcycle. This must be performed every 1500 miles (2400 km) alongside setting your cam chain tensioner, valve clearances, and ignition timing. In this video, we go over the proper way to drain your oil, remove the oil filter cap, replace the troublesome JIS bolts, and clean and put everything back together. If you have never taken the opportunity to clean and inspect the centrifugal oil filter on your Honda we would highly recommend opening and inspecting the engine oil filter and thoroughly cleaning before riding the motorcycle. At Common Motor we find that learning how to perform the standard tune-up procedures on your Honda CB175 and CB200 family of motorcycles is essential knowledge and a great way to build confidence to get into other repairs on your motorcycle.

Beautiful job... I wish you had been around in 1981.... I bought a pristine CB 200T in June - 1981. It had 6200 miles on it, was my only transportation for 2 years..all through Jr college. I was the mechanic , and I did what I could with a clymer manual and little knowledge. I replaced tires, brake cable, speedometer cble, tach cable, tires , on and on and on.... I was also a total maniac and very stupid and ran it at 9-10,000 rpm up through the gears, a lot. I did change the oil every 1500-2000 miles with Castrol GTX , but I never did understand how that oil filter worked. So I never cleaned it.... ever. At 28,000 miles one of the connecting rod bearings gave out and started knocking so I got a wrecking yard motor ( they were around back then ) . I put that motor in, and ran it hard as ever till around 40,000 miles , I burnt a hole in one of the pistons. Probably did not have it timed correctly... I was able to pull the top end apart, hone the cylinders , put new pistons and rings on it, and it ran fine - ( hard as ever ). Then, not long after, I got it stuck between gears and I could not get out out / un stuck...so swapped transmission parts out of my first motor. The bike ran fine till 60,000 miles when another connecting rod bearing out and I swapped it with a third motor. I ran it another 2-3,000 miles and bought my first 4 wheel vehicle and sold the bike not long after. My point to this whole story is I think it possible that had I cleaned the oil filter like you did here, and perhaps only revved it to 7-8000 rpm ... it may have never destroyed it's rod bearing s like it did. I can tell you, I miss that little bike to this day, and Honda built a hell of a motorcycle. I abused that CB 200 harder I think for more miles than probably anyone in history. Thanks for these vids.. It is very cool to see people enthused about these classics all these years later...

Helpful tip, the bolt from your handle bars works perfectly for getting that cover off as well. That way you never have to find the bolt.

Perfect! Over here in the mid to late 80s you could pick up any of the smaller Honda twins for very little money and I broke and rebuilt many of them. I have seen that centrifugal filter completely rammed with crud and alloy particles, which usually went with a bu99ered top end and eventually blown big end bearings. You had to chip the crud out with a screwdriver...... This was especially common on CB200s and CJ 250/360s and G5s, none of which have the access port as seen on your CB175. But do changes and cleanings as you show and you can put over 50k miles on a motor with no issues. Pleasure to watch this vid.

I think it would be helpful if you made it clear that these Japanese bikes do not use Phillips screws. You call them Phillips screws at a couple of points in your video. They are JIS screws and you need JIS screwdrivers. JIS screws can handle more torque than Phillips - if you use a JIS screwdriver.

@anemone104 2 жыл бұрын

If your issue is clutch slip due to wear on the steel plates, then as I recall, you can flip the steel backplate (it's asymmetric) and this allows you to put in an extra steel plate and fibre plate which allows you to get back your clutch function for little money. Over in the UK in Thatcher's Britain, this was quite a common dodge as nobody had the money for genuine Honda parts for bikes you could buy for 20 or 30 quid. If your problem is 'hang-up' in operation, this is due (on high mileage or abused engines) to the steel plates notching the rotor and fibre plates notching the slots in the basket. Removing the rotor and basket and dressing smooth with a millsaw file is a fix. If all is un-worn and undamaged, follow Honda instructions for adjustment and cable routing and all should be well.

I have a 1974 cb200. The slinger cap is m6-1.00 and the internal threads are a little smaller, but when I tried an m5-0.80, they missed the threads completely because they were too small, is it possible that there was a little bit of deviation here or do you guys think that the wrong slinger cap was put in?

What spray cleaner did you use to clean out the filter?

@ddyeo503 Жыл бұрын

I pulled the pipes off of a Scrambler 175 Honda, and never again will I do that. I had to remove 2 of the exhaust studs on the left side, to get both pipes off. One of the 2 pipes is welded to the muffler, and one pipe is attached with a clamp. Both pipes should have had clamps. This bike you are working on must be a road bike and I think removing the exhaust would be much easier on it because each pipe goes back on opposite sides of the bike,,,,,,,,,,,

Awesome, they'll probably be staying on! We usually use brake cleaner for tough things you can't remove. When you can easily remove a part we use our Parts Washer which is an awesome thing to have if you're working on old motorcycles!

Is the brake cleaner good for removing those old gaskets? My cylinder base gasket is holding on for dear life. Thinking of trying a wd-40 soak, permatex gasket remover, or the brake cleaner.

Good vid but not to sure you actually installed a oil filter sure didn't look like it🤔 so it's not really a filter just clean the crap from inside?

@willeel3750 Жыл бұрын

Bought a 1972 CB175. Owner is dead and I don't know what he was running for oil in it. I'm torn between synthetic and mineral oil. I've had good results with synthetic oil in my cars and trucks and would like this bike engine to last as long as possible. It has 16k miles on it now. But back when I was running these Honda Twins years ago we didn't have synthetic oil.

@TravisDoesGames Ай бұрын

My advice: don't use synthetic or even semi synthetic. These old clutches slip easily with fancy synthetic formulations. and you may get oil leaks from seals that weren't leaking before you put full synthetic in there
