For the battery I bought, all I had to do was fill the cells with all the acid provided....didn't have to worry about percent full or percent dilution

Thanks for taking a moment to share your kind words...really brightens my day. My channel isn't big, so I still read every comment 😎

No, the rear sprocket should be rigidly fixed to the rear wheel.

🤷‍♂️ It SEEMS like it should be possible, but I don't know if any of the engine mounting bolts or positions are different between the 250 and 300. Same for wire harness and ECU. Just need someone to try it out and tell us!

@@lightningfrog27 I might do it today

@d33jackson44 nice! Let us know how it goes!! Or even better, make a video and post share your experience on the cbr300 forums 😎

@@lightningfrog27 I’m not that good at the whole videoing things. lol

Just a update the 300 like a glove

Take a look at the diagram shown at 1:15 and tell me which connection you're specifically referring to.

@@lightningfrog27 You probably included that but I did not see it clearly. My bike is 2013 honda cbr 500r, therefore it looks a bit different. The reason I like to see it because when I see you do it, I will probably have some idea how to take it off. I think you know what to do if you see my picture. It is hard for me to figure out on the diagram which one.

I think I might have the cbr500 factory service manual at home. If you give me your email address, I can send you the relevant section when I get home from work

Nah, I think it's surprisingly good without the side fairings too I imagine that's one of the reasons the "naked" style of bike exists commercially.

@@lightningfrog27 Saw an all black CBR300 without farings and it looked so aggressive. Was really sweet. Changed my view on the bikes aesthetics significantly. A naked Ninja won't look quite like that. Great guide btw bro, you've helped out a lot of people.

Glad they help, and thanks for taking the time to drop into the comments. Really makes my day :)

There's a chart in the video at about 0:23 or 0:24 that shows the removal dependencies. Looks like the middle cowl does need to be removed to get at the bottom fairing. Good luck, and thanks for the kind words!! 😊

@@lightningfrog27 thanks!

Not sure 🤷‍♂️. If the H9 bulb has the same size/shape socket, it might work? If you end up trying it out, be sure to report back so other folks can know the answer!

Maybe? I'm not sure though....I've never opened up that model number. If it does work, please report back so future viewers can find your answer!

Id start by checking everything on the 12 v side. Are you getting 12 from the DC DC converter? Is there 12 v at the fuse box? Basically just need to trace out where the signal falls off, and that should point to the problem

6 inch 😎

@@lightningfrog27 The 6" diameter on mcmaster only has a 1/16" edge thickness. Is that what you had? It seems paper thin. I will also be excavating dirt out of an egress window cut. Our crawlspace excavation will be 27 yards. I just want to make sure I'm getting something that suits my project demands. I see you also didn't have a very steep angle. My trough would be at about a 35-40 degree angle. Do you think that would be an issue? Thanks!

I got mine from McMaster too! It does seem thin, but remember that the trough itself doesn't actually have a lot of load on it... really just the weight of the dirt and also the auger. I was driving the 10 foot auger with a small electric post hole digger from Amazon....just had to get an adapter made to connect the much larger screw to the 3/4 receiver on the post-hole digger. Also, I wouldnt be too worried about any angle below about 45 degrees. I had my brother inside the basement with a shovel scooping into the trough while I was running the auger...and whenever I let go he knew he could take a break while I dumped the dirt. One other tip...I used a bearing at the bottom, and initially hard-mounted the auger end to the trough. That ended up binding whenever a rock came through. Worked out better to just let gravity hold the auger into the trough at the drive end. Happy to give more details on the project if you like. Maybe easier through email or something?

@@lightningfrog27Could you please forward some details to me?

What info/details are you looking for?

¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ No idea, but I'd guess probably not. Even if you could, I don't think you'd want to just due to wrench access, ergonomics, and the possibility of stuff falling down into the crank case. If you try it and figure it out, please report back and/or make a video!

@@lightningfrog27 Thanks 👍

Glad my video could help!

Thanks so much for the kind words man. I do kinda wish i could quit my job and just do youtube videos about motorcycles and other stuff i enjoy.....but it's a long hard road to get enough subscribers and watch hours to get the big OEMs to even notice, let alone sponsor me.....and honestly, the youtube algorithm doesnt really reward the concise informational content that i make. That said, i really do feel good knowing that my videos are helpful to folks like you 😎

Dropping the engine out is pretty quick if you know all the steps and you have the right tools handy. Id guess less than 2 hrs.

Time is hard to gage because I spent so much time setting up the video camera and long delays between work days due to editing, plus digging through the service manual and Internet forums...but with that as a caveat, id guess the total wrench turning time for the whole project start to finish was less than 20 hrs, and total $$ spent was less than $300

Haha...yeah, I was really nervous - if something was not assembled correctly I could have caused more damage to the engine. Really glad it worked out 😁

Did you ever find a solution??

Then you use a special stick integrated with the oil filler cap 👍

Yeah, the battery in the video is for a 2015 CBR300R motorcycle.

Please report back if it works. Good luck!!

Get your money back if you still can. It will be one cost after another.

They looked great! Similar position and throw on the road, just white instead of orange, and a decent bit brighter 😎

Do you mean which order? No, I think it doesn't matter either you do any individual cell before the others as long as you fill all of them within a few minutes of each other.

I haven't made much progress.... partially because I've been pretty busy, but also I've been pretty worried that I'll screw up the next part. One of the things I did recently that I haven't made a video about - I built an electric go kart. Was super helpful for understanding the electrical layout and drive train. Hopefully I'll have more time to work on it this summer!

😅 not yet. I've still got about 2 $2k worth of new parts in boxes waiting for me to find the time and motivation to figure it out. I did build an electric gokart last year as a sort of skill building project....so I feel like I understand it a little better. Hopefully I can make time for it this summer!
