Hey man wanted to say that I appreciate the depth of knowledge and explanation... Also I respect a person who services their machine and keeps it clean!👍🏻
Hey mate. 2006 Crf450x I’ve changed the engine oil I can’t find the bolt you undid I see one right next to the engine bolt and where you indicated it was but it’s a couple of inches deeper past the engine oil bolt. Does that sound about right to you?
Exactly, this oil is wet clutch safe. As long as it doesn't say "energy conserving" or anything like that in the circle on the bottle, you're good to go! Thanks for watching!
Logan Munoz Drain plug or fill plug? Either one make sure the threads are OK don't force anything. If the threads are messed up, replace the plug and chase the threads with a tap if it's the drain plug.
Hey some videos says that you need to unplugged the chek oil bolt for the transmission side and when it start to cool out you can stop putting oil. Should I trust the 0.59 ML as honda is saying or the bolt ?
David Bain That's the stuff! It's marketed towards diesel but is great for anything. I have been using it for years in all my bikes from my 510 Hunqvarna Supermoto with a 10,500 redline to street to trail to roadrace. Even in my cars and lawnmowers. Shell also recommended the t4 for my zero turn hydraulic pump oil.
Is it possible that engine can burn transmission oil? My crf450 was burning oil and when i went to replace the oil, left side of the engine had oil as i have seen it on the glass, but when i took the transmission oil bolt there was not one drop of oil from there....could it be bad right side crankcase seal?
If it was a two stroke a bad right crank seal would cause a drop in transmission fluid and excess smoke. This is a 4 stroke so if you had a bad right crank seal your tranny side would be low but your engine side would be high.
@@TepcoCycleRepair engine side had right level of oil...so could it be that its burning engine side oil and tranny oil when it goes to engine side to fill it up?
Hey man I have a 2012 crf . I did an " oil" change Tyne other day by draining the oil through the sump plug . What part of the engine am I draining by doing that and how do I drain the other part of the bike ?
tinkletoesrus what size CRF? If it's a 230 or 100 or any of their air cooled bikes it only has 1 drain plug. If it's the race model, 250 450 etc. it has two drain/fill plugs.
Tepco Cycle Repair 450 . I watched you're video again seems I had been removing the wrong bolt for transmition sussed it now. So people use different oils for each side of the engine do they both go through the same filter ? How do they not croscontaminate
tinkletoesrus they are separated internally, transmission, clutch with no filter and piston, crank, valves run through a filter. You can use the same oil in both sides as long as it doesn't say fuel conserving or similar in the circle on the back like i show in the video.
tinkletoesrus There is no standard 1 plug drains all like the XR models that share oil for both transmission/engine. These CRF's have different oil gallies for the transmission side and for the engine side, so they have two drain/fill plugs. See my other video for the engine side oil change. Thanks for watching.
Question as stupid as it might sound, I just got a 07 450r and I did the oil change yesterday I added transmission fluid too 670 to be exact was I supposed to flush out the old one If so how ?
Just bought an 03 crf450r. Changed the oil and filter then filled to the high mark on the window. Does that effect amount drained and filled on the trans side?
Darin Williams Engine oil is separate then transmission oil so no it won't affect it. 10-40 is fine on the trans side as long as it doesn't say energy or resource conservative. Thanks for watching!
@@TepcoCycleRepair ok thank you I changed my trans oil and engine oil after buying it and the trans oil was water for the first 3 seconds then green like a pale dark green😂 I flushed it twice now it’s just the lucasoil that I used that’s red
thenochistlense yes as long as it doesn't say energy conservative or resource conservative or anything like that. Like, Rotella T6 full synthetic diesel oil, would be fine, or the T4 non synthetic, all good.
Yes absolutely, I use T6 as well. So the shell Rotella T4 non syn or the T6 full synthetic will both work just fine for the engine and transmission/clutch
What i dont understand is why would you use a Diesel engine oil in a 4 stroke transmission when there are better proper specific motorcycle gearbox oils with the correct additives for gears and clutches..Heck 2 stroke bike transmission oil is better than Rotella T in my opinion..You could get away with it but oil is cheap,blown gearboxes are not.
There is plenty of talk about how good this oil is on many forums. I would recommend you look it up. I have had no issues ever with this oil after many many years, miles and hours in all different types of applications. Don't get fooled by oil advertising.
@@TepcoCycleRepair yea, a few mornings ago I started her up in my driveway and couple minutes later I look over to find it pissing a puddle through my breather tube. Turned out being my crankcase seal. Just waiting on my water pump gasket set to complete the job. Cheers!
The manual clearly says "SG or higher" and the manual doesn't "say" to use anything it just has a suggested oil...WOW...wish some people would actually read their manuals.

Thanks for the video Tepco, simple and clear
Thanks man i like this.

Hope you are well!
Nice Hawk GT! I own both of these bikes as well as a VFR.
Yea, one of my favorites. I owned a couple VFR's as well. I sold the CRF, and have the Hawk up for sale.
Thanks. Great video
helpful vid , cheers :)
Thanks hunter thompson.
Hey mate. 2006 Crf450x I’ve changed the engine oil
I can’t find the bolt you undid
I see one right next to the engine bolt and where you indicated it was but it’s a couple of inches deeper past the engine oil bolt. Does that sound about right to you?
Hard to say with that description but take it out, if oil comes out, you got it!
For your transmission oil you should use specific transmission wet clutch oil if your bike has 2 separate engine and transmission oil cavity's
Exactly, this oil is wet clutch safe. As long as it doesn't say "energy conserving" or anything like that in the circle on the bottle, you're good to go! Thanks for watching!
Hi there, I got crf 450x 2005 - do we change transmission fluid as you did, and oil with filter the other side?
Jasen Hook yes exactly the same. Thanks for watching.
Dude, my 06 crf450r clutch oil is going over to the other side, do I need to split the cases? which seal is it? thx
@the Duke, its probably your main crank seal, I'd split the case and check it out forsure
mine had so much sediment the bolt wouldn't go back in, so i sprayed carb cleaner thru the hole and fill plug , worked good , flushed..
Dang, might want to do oil changes sooner or at least the next one.
I need help when putting In the plug. It always want to go crooked. What do I do ?
Logan Munoz Drain plug or fill plug? Either one make sure the threads are OK don't force anything. If the threads are messed up, replace the plug and chase the threads with a tap if it's the drain plug.

Don't use the check bolt, they strip easily. Just put in the recommended amount.
I have a 2011 crf450r and can't find the oil check bolt for the trans. Is there not one on this year?
It's the Allen bolt cap in front of the clutch cover. Fill until it slowly comes out.
Nice hawk I have 2 myself
cory Thomas yes great bike, I enjoy it every time I ride it.
The black little cap on the transmission side is it for transmission oil???
The black cap at :19 is the transmission side fill cap, it's just above the clutch cover.
Rotella T says diesel. What's your take on this?
David Bain That's the stuff! It's marketed towards diesel but is great for anything. I have been using it for years in all my bikes from my 510 Hunqvarna Supermoto with a 10,500 redline to street to trail to roadrace. Even in my cars and lawnmowers. Shell also recommended the t4 for my zero turn hydraulic pump oil.
There is a way to keep the oil from making a mess! The "billy Who" Man funnel.. Maybe Iron Horse has one??
American Atheist definitely things to set up and stop it, but a couple of sprays of cleaner cleaned it afterwards, easy enough. Thanks for watching.
What fluid did you use on the transmission side?. I have a 2007 Honda CRF450R
I mostly use Rotella T6 but I have really liked the HP trans oil 80/85 lately on the transmission side or the transmission of my 2 stroke.
But in this video I used Rotella T4. The more important thing is to keep it clean.
Is it possible that engine can burn transmission oil? My crf450 was burning oil and when i went to replace the oil, left side of the engine had oil as i have seen it on the glass, but when i took the transmission oil bolt there was not one drop of oil from there....could it be bad right side crankcase seal?

why cant you drain it by the sump

Just drain and fill.
Just bought an 03 crf450r. Changed the oil and filter then filled to the high mark on the window. Does that effect amount drained and filled on the trans side?
Added 10-40. Would you use the same viscosity on the trans side?
Darin Williams Engine oil is separate then transmission oil so no it won't affect it. 10-40 is fine on the trans side as long as it doesn't say energy or resource conservative. Thanks for watching!
Tepco Cycle Repair thanks
Trying To Find Out How Much Transmission Oil In A 2006 CRF450 When You Change It
Trying To Find Out How Much Transmission Oil To Use When Changing It,2006 Honda CRf450
Shavon Sandoval By the book it's, 590cc for the R and 750cc for the X.
Honda CRF450 Transmission side oil change How long need to change
7-10 hours on the transmission side is what I do.
Question! I have a 2016 crf450r can I use synthetic trans oil for it?
Yes it's as long as it doesn't say energy conservative in the circle.
@@TepcoCycleRepair ok thank you I changed my trans oil and engine oil after buying it and the trans oil was water for the first 3 seconds then green like a pale dark green😂 I flushed it twice now it’s just the lucasoil that I used that’s red
No wet clutch oil for transmission is that is the ok?
Any JASO certified oil is fine for wet clutches.
I have an r not an x which I believe means I don't put as much oil as you would
Hey mate does 2005 crf450r have transmission oil
Yes it does.
-and Honda does make oil now
How abt in a crf450r can i use the same oil for both sides?
Elija Lev you can but I use the full Synthetic T6 either will work just fine.
th-cam.com/video/XgcEJk6B4pM/w-d-xo.html
Don’t put a full quart in it blows the counter shaft seals faster
Nah, it would blow through the case breather long before anything like that would happen. Thanks for watching.
how about 10w 30 diesel oil? would it work on the trasmission clutch?
thenochistlense yes as long as it doesn't say energy conservative or resource conservative or anything like that. Like, Rotella T6 full synthetic diesel oil, would be fine, or the T4 non synthetic, all good.
Would the t6 full synthetic 5w-40 be ok
Diesal
Yes absolutely, I use T6 as well. So the shell Rotella T4 non syn or the T6 full synthetic will both work just fine for the engine and transmission/clutch
So you use engine oil for the transmission side eh?
Yes, as long as it's JASO certified you can.

Te ha tocado que se batalla para que entre neutral ?
No never had an issue finding neutral.
can i use this oil on the motor side
Greatdane Yes you can many do, but I run the Rotella T6 it's full synthetic and only a few dollars more for the gallon.
Tepco Cycle Repair
Thank you i really appreciate it
06 450x here. Have you had any issues with oil migration on your ride? Thanks for the informative video.
No issues at all, and I ride a lot of wheelies which usually passes it through the breather.
@@TepcoCycleRepair yea, a few mornings ago I started her up in my driveway and couple minutes later I look over to find it pissing a puddle through my breather tube. Turned out being my crankcase seal. Just waiting on my water pump gasket set to complete the job.

I can put one model oil 10w40 engine and clutch
If it's JASO certified you can use it in both sides.
Use the oil the book tells you to use... WOW!
The manual clearly says "SG or higher" and the manual doesn't "say" to use anything it just has a suggested oil...WOW...wish some people would actually read their manuals.
Whats that t tool called?
It's a T handle wrench by Motion Pro, I got them from Cycle Gear.
@@TepcoCycleRepair what size??
@@2WheelTherapy7 I was using the 8mm. I think the set comes with 8mm-12mm and a Phillips.
my o5 calls for 10w 40
It's a recommendation based on temps.
