  • This is one way to to change the oil, although I'll be trying something different to channel the oil next time around. I'm just not spending the money on a stand just to use for oil changes. The important parts are using a good quality oil and filter, new crush washer or copper and filling to the correct level and checking with the right procedures. The drain bolt is 14mm.

    I changed oil on my M50 by putting a big disposable aluminum foil tray under the bike without using a bike jack. Got on the bike towards the end so I could lean it and get all the oil out. Very easy to do and not a drop of oil spilt outside the tray.

    I just changed the oil on my 2008 C50 w/o using a lift. My method: Make sure the bike is parked in gear. I use short pieces of wood (which I screwed together to the correct height) to fit under the right side of the bike. When placing the wood do the right side first. Place the wood under the right side then sit on the bike and lean it to the right until it's resting on the wood. Then stand the bike up straight and use your left foot to push the wood under the kickstand. You can vary the wood thicknesses to get the bike really close to level. It also cost nothing, just used scrap wood about 4" x 8". The tires also remain on the ground so it's really stable.

    Great series, enjoyed seeing your progress! How about using a funnel? One of those with the flexible tube on the end. Just wire it on the hoist below the drain plug with the hose in the collection tub. Cost a few bucks for the funnel. No mess!

    When I had my honda vtx I would ride it up on 2 small pieces of 2X6 lumber and then a 2X4 under the kickstand for more clearance. I did have a shallower pan also. You do need to cut a corner of the blocks at a angle to make it easier to get on the blocks. I love the Rotella 6T Oil.

  • @kellyj5389
    @kellyj5389 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just read the comments and I'm with you Bryan. You cannot in any way siphon the oil out. There would be oil left and "dirty stuff" that would have drained. Too bad there isn't an easy clean way to do the oil change.

    Cool idea for the foil ramp, worked like a charm :-) I've used plastic garbage bags or left over shopping bags. I really don't have this problem with any the the bikes I have. The CB250 has the drain bolt on the side of the kickstand so it drains well, the Enfield has a center stand which is awesome. The problem I have, center stand or not, is the CTX is so low I cannot get a drain pan under it. I now use one of those $1 plastic bins about the size of a shoe box, but it is tight.
    The Bobber is ready to go, and I'm ready for those videos B-)

    • @ArizonaRE
      @ArizonaRE 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      I meant to add, Harbor Freight sells one of those front wheel chocks for under $50 or even a fall-away triangle stand would let you have access under the motor for less than $15 tinyurl.com/p8xwgvh But your method works and it's only every 3K miles, so what, twice a year?

    I use a similar motorcycle Jack on my C50 Boulevard and it leaves room for access to the drain bolt so I don’t need to do the aluminium foil trick you use.

  • @cruepprich
    @cruepprich 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Excellent demo and advice. Thanks so much!
    When i pulled the drain plug first time i changed the oil on my used 2009 C50, there wasn't a crush washer, and no leaks.
    In the manual i couldn't find a reference to using a crush washer.
    Does it matter on this bike?

    don't need a jack or any special pan..leave it on the kick stand and when its about done draining out sit down on the bike and stand it up straight for a couple minutes..lean it back over n put the plug back in . i used the old cat box to catch the oil from the crank case and what small amount runs out around the filter when changing it. done.

    I see you use synthetic oil. Just curious as to your opinion to switching from synthetic oil from regular if there are 30,000 miles on the clock. Is there a benefit at that point? Great job on the bobber. I'm inspired to the point that after a 35 year hiatus from riding bikes, I've signed up for a Learn to Ride class and have been looking hard at the T100. Cheers mate!

    • @TwoWheelObsession
      @TwoWheelObsession  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Stephen Morochnick Awesome! Never too late to go back! No, no benefit at this point - just pointing out it's a great oil for the price if anyone needs it.

  • @Trukerinfulleffect
    @Trukerinfulleffect 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Anyone who has a bike should own a stand,I just use a custom funnel to drain the oil and filter,I also use a oil scavenger to get all the dirty oil out because after draining the motor oil there is still about 16 oz in the motor itself

    • @TwoWheelObsession
      @TwoWheelObsession  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Trukerinfulleffect That's just silly. #1 not all bikes can even be supported by them. Like my FJR. #2 not all need them even for an oil change - never needed it with my Harley.

    I thought I saw 3000 ml on your site glass; wouldn't you just put in 3 liters of oil and leave it at that? I presume that's why they marked the site glass with the 3000 ml.

    • @TwoWheelObsession
      @TwoWheelObsession  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      dinonoce Yes, same as the 3.76 qt capacity. However those are perfect condition units. I prefer to get it right in practice by simply filling to the correct level in the engine. Different size filters and exactly how much old oil you got out effects any predetermined number.

    • @TwoWheelObsession
      @TwoWheelObsession  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Trukerinfulleffect Dude you just saw me do the whole build on the lift. So in this case, the stand would ONLY be for an oil change. Not worth it. I'm all for buying useful tools, but not when there are alternatives. I think a very shallow pan and simply doing it on the ground is the simplest answer.

    • @johnkegarise2837
      @johnkegarise2837 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      TwoWheelObsession I drain the oil on the side stand of my Honda Shadow but instead of using a commercial drain pan, I cut the side off of an empty 5 quart oil bottle with a utility knife. This makes a perfect sized oil pan that will fit under the bike, and hold all the old oil. It is sturdy enough to handle when you are ready to drain the used oil into a bigger drum or drain pan. When it gets to dirty and grimy, pitch it for a new one. By then you should have another empty one handy. Hope this helps!
