great video.that thing w/the gasket actually happened to me the 1st time I went w/a K&N filter.when I took off the old honda oem filter,the gasket was stuck on & I didn't notice it.lesson learned.
SOOOO NICE without the header there.. great video.. the lighting is fantastic and that lift... that's the shiznit right there.... so I noticed black passenger pegs.. those are new right? Are they painted, powdercoated or OEM?
Thanks! I love that lift! Unfortunately this will be my last easy oil change as the arrow headers make it very tight. You my friend have a good eye ;) Yes, they are new! Those are powdercoated from TST actually. I bought used from 600rr.net member.
Very informative! Thank you brother. I have a 07 cbr 600 rr just got it. My 1st bike I want to try to do things on my own if I can. I'll be watching your vids for help. do you recommended using that oil on mine? It has just over 10g miles. Also I live in Florida Hotter than the Devils @#$% Would that matter as far as the oil is concerned?
5:00 the old gasket typically would only stay on if it werent lubrictaed with lube/oil like youre about to do. i think bc basically it cooks on with the heat
Great video... very clear. Dammit, i miss working on my bike. :) Not sure how I feel about the Diesel oil, but that's probably just because I absolutely hate anything diesel. What made you start using it? Why don't you get a torque wrench? :) I've got a set of three. 5-25Nm, 5-100Nm and 25-205 Nm. They are not that expensive and can prevent a lot of trouble (mostly through over tightening). They'll last you a lifetime if you use them properly. (That means just for tightening and when not in use, put them back to "0"). Edit: forgot to mention Removing the filler cap before draining can speed it up a bit because it can suck in the air through the filler hole.
If you feel that way about "diesel", don't use the oil. Me? Although I also use the T6 oil (I like the slightly lower "5W" pour point compared to the 10W and 20W oils), in truth, it really will not make much difference what brand of oil you use. Modern oils, mineral or synthetic, are good enough that as long as you use the appropriate grade of oil and stick with recommended oil change intervals, you will be fine. Just use JASO MA/MA1/MA2 certified oil. If you have a wet clutch, steer clear of oil with what they call "friction modifiers".
I mean it's his bike but it takes no more time to just dip your finger in the new oil and add it. My complaint was tightening it with a socket. Oil filters only need to be hand tightened. But then again I only use OEM so no nut to tighten anyways. Tracks around here have k&n oil filters banned
Just realising that all the maintanance is so easily done on my 2016 SV650. Every bolt and stuff that needs to be changeg from time to time is so easy to reach and i dont even have to do anything.
isnt it better to use a thinner oil so it gets into the nooks and crannies with todays tighter tolerances of machining, more so than a thicker oil could or couldnt?? I blew my chevy motor using 20-50
Torque wrench the filter to 20 ft lbs and the drain plug to 22 ft lbs. it is was the manufacturer specs are. ;). I am very interested in the oil selection save some $’s
It costs me $30 an a hour of my time. So if $50 is worth an hour of your time then it may or may not be worth it. For me it definitely is! But I mainly do it because I want to know the job was done right!
Usually the old one will not leak. As usual, YMMV. Me? I always change both of mine (engine drain and final drive drain bolts on my FJR). Cheap insurance.
The Rotella oil is used in Turbo Diesel Engines which will spin up to 150,000 RPM. Trust me I ride my bikes hard and red line them routinely and I've never had an issue with this oil. Been using it for 5 years.
Also the Honda owner's manual says to change the oil every 5000 miles. I usually change it every 3000 and when it comes out it looks fine. I've also done oil analysis on my bikes and they've been all fine.

You can run diesel oil in a bike?!?!?! MIND BLOWN! lol I didn't know that!
Yeah! I was really surprised when I first found out too.
The Muscle Biker Rotella T6 is rated for motorcycles. It's pretty cool! Been using it in my 600rr and also used it in my f4i
Zack Van Goethem I'd probably use it on my zx but I dunno if I would do it on the RSV4 lol
I use it in my FJR1300, my lawn mower, and weed eater.

Just found your channel and it's awesome! I really dig your bike too. Thanks for the great videos and you have gotten yourself another sub. :-)
Thanks! :)

My only minor complaint is your using OLD oil to prelube the oil filter.

Hey man I’m pretty sure your from Mass I’m from Rhode Island we should ride. I’ve also got a 2008 cbr600rr
Just realising that all the maintanance is so easily done on my 2016 SV650. Every bolt and stuff that needs to be changeg from time to time is so easy to reach and i dont even have to do anything.
Consider yourself lucky! lol
Thanks a ton. But my oil doesnot show up in the indicator at the bottom after putting in about 2.9 L of oil
love this channel
It's not just a washer it's called a crush washer you're supposed to get a new every time You do the oil change
isnt it better to use a thinner oil so it gets into the nooks and crannies with todays tighter tolerances of machining, more so than a thicker oil could or couldnt?? I blew my chevy motor using 20-50
4:00 unfortunately the usefullness of the exterior nut on there doesnt compensate for the quality of the filter itself. but it is useful for sure
mikeyb byekim it’s pretty dangerous if you use it to put it on as you put stress on the welds/crimps
Thanks for the info👍
7:40 i wonder why they use a metal crush washer instead of a soft/rubber washer. do you know?
It works like a springload and helps the bolt not to unwind 🙂
@@sir240s I would think that a soft washer would act like a locknut to keep it from unwinding
@@justaguy4real yes true :)
Torque wrench the filter to 20 ft lbs and the drain plug to 22 ft lbs. it is was the manufacturer specs are. ;). I am very interested in the oil selection save some $’s
this still your oil of choice for your CBR? or have you moved onto something you like more?
What do you use? What year and bike do u have? What oil exactly do you use. I have a 2017 cbr600rr and not sure what to use. 5w or 10w?
oh shit, ghost ninja better take some notes! haha jk love his stuff too!
will this work on a 2007 CBR
I get my oil change 80$. How much money are we saving here? Should i start doing my oil?
It costs me $30 an a hour of my time. So if $50 is worth an hour of your time then it may or may not be worth it. For me it definitely is! But I mainly do it because I want to know the job was done right!
I am retired. 30 minutes of my time is definitely worth $50.
Every 3k miles? That means I'll need to change my oil every month er so 😢
Eric Herrero it’s almost as if it were a vehicle huh?😒
Nah I do around 6k you don’t need to every 3k if you run good oil.
Follow the rotella
wouldnt removing the oil fill bolt make the oil flow out easier?
+mogan23z yes. lol I didn't realize till after
Nice video
Thanks bro
Wouw didnt know it was so easy
thanx...
why would you never replace the crush washer? 7:40

John Casteel emphasize on the word NEVER
diablo para cambiar el aceite quitar el muffler como q ay trabajo innecesario
Waoooooo lové
Very bad info on oil and intervals 🤔 allways use motorcycle oil as it can take more revs. Oilchange is no more than once a year or 10.000km
No need for more, offcurse you can do more 🤣

Hero RR I don't know if you say my question, but I assume your up north is that Rotella good for fl. Heat?
