The best way Ive learned to change mine in slam the clutch cover against a rock on the trail. You may be stranded, but all you gear oil will drain out that I promise.

@dirtbikechannel Kyle, if you have the ability, you should do more how-to videos. They're super helpful and they become a necessity for people to watch. Thank you for your hard work! I enjoy every bit of the content you create.

I was sitting here cringing when you were loosening that plug. Getting ready to change the gear oil on my kid’s cr80 right now. We bought it used and am constantly finding things that need done. Great video.

I change mine on my 300 every 5-10 hours.......usually every 5 or so rides (only ride for an hour or two at a time). It's a simple 10 minute thing to do and oil's cheap enough. Keep it fresh.

Wow they torqued the pan plug in. Dorks

Quick look at the parts diagram on Rocky Mountain ATV/MC shows a 12mm drain plug washer. You can get a 12mm copper or aluminum drain plug washer at any auto parts store. It's a common size on cars.

Why are his jokes making me laugh more than I should? 😂😂

Bit of advice. Take a file to the 2 teeth on the brake pedal closest to the clutch cover. 2 lads I know have punctured the cover in the last week on old hondas but dropping them. Brake pedal Pearce’s it with the two teeth mentioned. Teeth/cleets what ever you wish to call them.

yo just a heads up about yz250, the 2003 at least. the gear oil weep screw is not accurate. it takes 750ml, and if you go by the bleed screw you will have no where near enough and bad things will happen

I was draining my oil and forgot to put the like beating thing on the bolt, is that bad that the bearing thing isn’t on the bolt?

The oil drain plug gets tighter with the heat. I'm not saying someone didn't over tighten it but they will always be harder to remove after the cycles of heat exchange.

it would have been nice to see just how slow the drip was before you put the over flow plug back in.

What kind of oil did you use?

How did you keep your white shirt so clean? Anytime I wear white and work on something I get a stain and have to retire the shirt as a rag LOL. Preventive maintenance is fairly easy in general. Take care of your bike and it will take care of you. 👍

You could always use permatex thread sealant if you don't have a crush washer.

Hope you keep it. I wanna see videos of you ridding it.

if you have a YZ250 dont use the level check bolt because its way to low and only lets you put half the right amount of oil.

Is the transmition oil the same as the engine oil

Allways great videos

Sweet vid!

so watched your video and please correct me if i am wrong but the clutch side usually takes gear oil usually a thicker viscosity than the engine oil which fills on the engine side or the side where the foot shift lever is correct? brake lever side w clutch cover gets gear oil correct? thanks in advance for the clarification.. have a great day, cheers, -P3T3R

I kind of needed ASAP today

How many bottles need for my dirt bike 1988 250cc honda two strock and which one is the best.

Love the vids but did any one else see the huge copper washer on the coolant drain bolt at 7:25

Put the Crf 450 coil on there MEB or HP1 is for the TRX That's the replacement coil for the kz4 2000 to 2007 Cr125 an Cr250 Can be up to 1.5 HP Better spark almost zero chance of failing your spark plug out

can you just warm it up by idling or should you ride it?

What size crush washer does the Cr 250 2 stroke use on the oil drain bolt ???

Any idea's where I could order a skid plate for my 2000 cr 125r

does atf type f means ford mercon? does the sae matter? i saw a sae20 available

I drained the plug above that one. Think it was for radiator fluid. Going back out to check. 05 cr250

My 2003 CR 250 has a copper crush washer on the drain bolt

Do 2 strokes have a oil filter like 4 strokes?

What’s going on with the metal screw ?

Weep plug? Never heard it called that. Lol I like the big copper washer on the water pump cover though.

What iff it’s a bit milky ?? What would u think the problem would be??

honda cr250 2001 i think its better for enduro riding you can make some changes on power valve

I have a kx85 and my oil been coming out milky i still have lot of compression & the bike turns on 1st kick and runs perfectly find any help ?

I was warming up my 02 CR250 3 days ago because I was gunna try to see if my new JD jetting kit would put an end to my plug fouling problem and also try putting some RotellaT6 in the case to stop the clutch from dragging so bad. So I cross the highway to go to the dirt roads and I road the hell out of that thing for about 20 minutes and got back to my house shut it off and put it back on the stand, but the stand was too far and I had no where to lay the bike so I yelled for my mom and she came. She noticed some dark grey dripping on our tan colored porch and the bottom frame of the bike and asked what it was, I said idk it’s probably the sludge that leaks out the pipe, but then she bent down and told me I was missing something and that there is a hole, and sure enough the oil drain bolt was gone, I was honestly terrified because I’ve only had this bike for 2 months and it in great condition. So I basically rode without oil, I traced my patch to try to find where it fell out hoping to see an oil trail, but I didn’t. So I’ve either ridden it twice without oil or lost it that day, it kinda crazy to me that on the same day I was gunna change the oil that the bike changed it by itself. Apparently oil plug falling out is a big problem with the 02-05 cr250s, and oil not getting to the plates, and rich jetting are all issues with the 02-05s LOL

How often do you have to change the oil filter on a 4 stroke? And how often do you have to change the engine oil on a 4 stroke also? (Im a begginer and i dont want to mess up my bike)

I use ATF in my bike works like a charm

what oil did he use

looks like the old aluminum washer was stuck on the drain plug. had been reused so many times it looks like its a part of the plug.

Guys please help Very very new to dirt bikes I have a 70cc 2stroke little bike So is this transmission oil in the video and does it do the job or do i need to mix with the gas too or what i really know nothing !

You can definitely find magnetic plugs for those with the washer on ebay.

Thanks bro it's been too long

what kind of oil should i use?

Thanks again Kyle :) You take the second-guessing aout of us water babies ;0

Have the same bike, what gear oil are you using? Having a tough time finding what viscosity the 03's call for.

People is saying put 10w40 motorcycle oil is that good to use on a cr 125r

what gear oil do you recommend for a 2004 CR85 please

I couldn’t find any gear oil so I just got 10w 30 engine oil and it says gasoline engines it’s not the mix for the fuel but im afraid to Try it

What size wrench for the plug

I looked it up they said you could use four stroke regular oil in the gearbox

“Latex is good for protection” damn u got them jokes

Can i use transmission oil

So how many miles would that be I'm going to go by Miles

A soft copper washer can be had at any local hardare store for 10 cents..There is no excuse for not having one. I GUARANTEE your bie warrantee depends on one

Kyle I think the problem you were having loosing the drain plug is due to the brand of the tool.

Holy smokes, I would have thought you guys would have had the bottom end apart, after all the $ spent on this project. I like to use a clean plan so you can see if there is any metal particles.

What do I run on my 2001 cr250r🙏

Good stuff. My kdx220 calls for 10w40 motorcycle oil. Wonder why some use gear oil and others the 10w30-40? That's quite a spread

Is there a difference between gear oil and transmission oil?

Can I get gear oil at my local NAPA or O'Reilly Auto parts?

Hi just found this channel,subscribed,also can you or anybody tell me where to get a kickstand for a 99 CR 250?

thank you so much 😄

What kinda of gear oil did you use and what should I use I have a kx 100

not doing very well with your copper washers are you. The one on the water pump made me laugh :')

I have a 2018 250sx any advice for removing the rear break spring to have easier access to the weap hole

Why do.some people put motor oil in the engine on 2T

Mine has a magnetic tip drain bolt with washer 2003 . Draining for 1 hour warm engine, it takes 21-22 ounces . Even trail riding interval is 6 hours 8 hours is about all l would go. That oil that came out was horrible . Probably had 30 hours on it ! 6 hours Not 30-40 Hours, that's Crazy !

Would dicks oil co’s 80w wet clutch oil do the same as the oil used in this video?

Nice bike 👍

Can I use mobile 1 racing 4t oil in my 250 2 stroke it is 10w40 and that's what's recommended

What oil did you use

Why is the transmission oil red? Is it a specific kind? My manual says 10w40 motor oil???

When a 15 year old bike looks better than all the new ktm/husqies🤔

Is gear oil the same thing as transmission fluid

so happy my oil drain plug isnt on the bottom. so much roost/rocks hitting down there. its bound to strip

Don't use the weep bolt on 2003 yz250. You will end up with 250 ml short of what is needed! 🤔

I have the same bike and change my oil every 5-6 hours ! A factory AMA motocross mechanic told me to use high quality oil such as ( Maxima MTL fluid 80 wt. ) and change it every 4-6 hours even if you are not racing. The bike takes 22 fl.oz. after 30 minute drain. Do Not change your oil 20 - 40 hours, your clutch won't last more than that if you do !

I've walked through the pits at the Supercross and talked with the mechanics of various teams. Without exception they all tell me they run ATF in the gearbox of these bikes. I wonder what the "gear oil" is comprised of with some of these oil companies?

Most Japanese bikes don’t come with copper washers on there drain bolt

so are there gears oils and engine oils? does ur bike for example have seperate gear oil and engine oil locations? or do you just use one oil and it shares the engine oil to cool the clutch? im not a pro please help me ive been wondering the answer to this for years... please help me answer this age old question!!! god bless, -P3T3R

Lol that coolant plug washer

2 years old and still using this video

Thanks you just blew my bottom end up cause i just let it fill until oil came out the overflow screw like u said. Where as i needed like twice as much looking at manual online now

I change every 15-20h on my 125 exc. When it gets to 20h+ I start to notice it when I ride

use automatic trans fluid

Hey Kyle is there a safe product you can fill the gearbox up with and let it drain out to you flush it. Thanks for the videos

Over torqued drain plug and no crush washer: prior owner lost washer, over tightened to compensate and avoid leakage

Guys push up on the screw when you take it out so you won't get all kind of oil all over your hands

oil seep screw is oil minimum

I change my CR250 gear oil every 6 or 9 hours

I got a 1999

Oh that bike flies I love that fat pipe

those gloves are probably nitrile though, not latex

do your gear oil a favor... put steel plates in your clutch...

The "weep hole" is only useful when the bike is dead on level

And the same as the gear oil

Cr is just over a half court by book
