5:20 my understanding is the ring gasket is lubed with oil so it doesnt stick too much when removing, the oil helps it free.. im just sharing what i was told
It was actually from the previous riding season (March-September). I don't have the opportunity to ride it as much as i used to, that oil maybe had about 2k-ish mi on it.
tanks for the video after changing my oil I put synthetic oil in my CBR 1000 and because I was getting a hard shift into first gear and it's better but not great do you know what causes this and does your CBR 1000 have hard shift into first gear
Did you just make the switch to synthetic? I switched after my first oil change ( literally the first oil change) and noticed that it took some time before the gearbox smoothed out. They do have a "clunk" when going into first gear but other than that no other issues in about 10 yrs of ownership (bought the bike brand new).
Yes I just changed it today because I noticed that after getting it changed at 1,500 miles at the dealership it started getting a harder and harder to shift it has 2400 miles on it it was shifting perfect until about 2 weeks ago now it's very hard in first gear and kind of feel clunky throughout the second and third
It *should* get better, I know that after I switched it began to improve as I rode it. Then about a month later I changed it again and it was much better, gear changes required little pressure on the shifter to get into gear. It gets a little pricey but try changing it again in about 2-3 weeks and it *should* be much better!
i changed both oil & filter. I pour in about 3 quart of oil first to make sure i dont over fill it. start the bike and let it idel couple of mins then took it around my neighborhood . the low oil indicator was not on, so i thought i'm ok. turn the bike and check oil lever in an upright position. the oil level is a little above the lower line. so go ahead and fill it up with another 1/2 quart of oil. try to start it but it wont start. it doesnt try to crank or anything. when i push the start button everything sounds normal but wont start.what could be the problem?
How often do you recommend changing the oil? The manual says every 8000miles which I feels is too high, maybe every 3000 miles should be better I guess?
Depends on if you are running synthetic or Dino oil and how much you ride/ track it. When I was actively riding it (daily) I would do it twice a season (April-October), now I do it once (and ride it less). With modern synthetic oil going 8000mi between changes isn't an issue, make sure to use a high quality oil filter.
@@FiveFiveGarage Currently am only using it for street use and am running synthetic oil. The guy in Honda service told me every 1500 miles as 2008-12 CBR 1k's burn a lot of oil. I will monitor the oil levels every 500 miles and then decide
Oh man, what is the best oil is debate minefield!😄 I have used Mobil 1 in the past but currently I am using Shell Rotella T6 for the past couple years now and have been very pleased with it. Whatever oil you decide to use make sure that it has the JASO MA specification.
@@FiveFiveGarage ahh!! That's a bummer to hear that u sold it!🥺🫂 Btw...one more thing...u kept the exhaust stock? And how many miles did u put into it?
@@krznation3666 I kept the exhaust stock, I did unhook the servo so it was always open. I had about 12,000 mi on it. I was the original owner. I started riding it less and less and eventually sold it so someone else could enjoy it.
@@krznation3666 under the seat. What it does is keep the valve open so that the exhaust is always using the larger outlet. With the servo hooked up, it will use the smaller pipe until higher rpms.
I run a full synthetic. If you are going to do more frequent oil changes (i.e. bike sees track duty) going with a part synthetic would be better and cheaper. But I always tell people to use what they have the easiest access to. As long as you are keeping up on the oil change intervals either oil will be perfectly fine.
The Bazazz unit is great. You can add on to it with other modules. It might be a bit more expensive but i have no complaints with it and its been on the bike a couple of years now.
Nope. Rotella T6 is the only oil I have used in this bike since its 500 mi first oil change. I am the only owner ( I watched them take it out of the crate) and I have had zero oil issues. I've done track days, trips, and it is my main summer transportation for 12 years ( bike is an '08, bought in Feb '08). Still on the original clutch and the bike shifts like it was brand new.
Great to see a simple and clean video of an oil change. Good lighting and a thorough explanation. Nice work bro and ride safe!
+2792revs thanks!
Great job on the video. Everything was grade A.. and a thumbs up for the bike too. I'm on a 12 cbr1000rr. Love of my life
You foirgot to mention to warm the bike up and remove the filler cap first
5:20 my understanding is the ring gasket is lubed with oil so it doesnt stick too much when removing, the oil helps it free.. im just sharing what i was told
That's correct. You don't want to try to remove a dry one by hand.
Most important is that the Oil Must be a Jaso MA, or what the specifications for the bike says since the Bikes or most I should say, uses wet Clutch.
Thanks for making this vid. I used this to do my first oil change on my 2014 CBR1kRR
good video, i use Rotella T6 also and a Fram Ultra 6607 oil filter. i put an even 3.5 quarts.
first video I think ive seen with all thumbs up
If you got a need for speed on two wheels, but you need to change your oil? I got you covered this week!
Thanks so much. Awesome video, about to do mine today. 2010 fireblade hrc 👌🏻
It was a great video man honestly 🙏
Nice bike Bro and loved the vid
Same colour as mine! Brogie rep No:61/00 👌🏻
No more maintenance videos for your CBR 1K RR? How about a chain replacement video?
I will add it to the list. It does need a new chain soon!
@@FiveFiveGarage Nice... look forward to watching it!
Great video bro...
For the sake of 50c , change the sump washer. Don’t want leaks especially on a bike. Also warn the engine oil up first
Ok thanks mate
that oil still looks pretty clean and good. am i wrong?
It was actually from the previous riding season (March-September). I don't have the opportunity to ride it as much as i used to, that oil maybe had about 2k-ish mi on it.
Thanks , good job
thnx bro from saudia arabia
😊 thanks..
More cbr vids please
Is there anything specific you would like a video about?
Five Five Garage maintenance, upgrades, cleaning the while works. If it is possible that is.
I have some stuff I am working on , I will see about getting it recorded!
Why does this 2008 cbr 1000rr look identical to the 2011 cbr 1000rr?
If the oil filter is not changed, how many liters of oil will be added?

Check the battery, sounds like the voltage is low. Give it a jump and see if it starts.

@@tjwaung definitely monitor your oil. Mine doesn't burn as much as others I've seen. It really comes down to your bike and its idiosyncrasies.
Mobil1 makes the worst oil filter for bikes. Look at the cutaway pics. Even a fram OH6017a would be much better.
Hi there mate what’s the best oil and what oil should I use I’ve got 65 registration Honda fireblade 1000rr thanks

If you love your Bike so much Get Motul 7100 4T 100% Synthetic ester. second best is Castrol Actevo. These are the only 2 i use for my 2019 CB1000-R
Have you had any burning oil problems out of the bike
No. I know that some of the CBRs of that Gen had oil burning issues, mine didn't.
@@FiveFiveGarage did you run 93gas in your or 89. I think mines is burning oil. Just had an oil change about 2 month’s ago and my oil is low already
@@Ikonzrc I always ran 93 and Rotella T6 synthetic. I had no issues with it for the 10+ yrs I owned it. Sold it in May.
@@FiveFiveGarage ok thanks
Doesn't show removal of fairings
Brother ...what's the oil grade on it? 10w 40 or somethin else??
I used Shell Rotella T6 5w-40 from the second oil change out of the crate until I sold it in 2021.

How many liters are you tired،
Do you have to run full synthetic. Or could I use a part synthetic?

Two RX8's?!! I am currently thinking of picking one up!
@@FiveFiveGarage get a series 2. Like an r3. They are sweet. They have that extra oil injector per rotor than the series 1. They are lots of fun.
Wish I could claim ownership from new.
you made look that easy i did it and my bike does not start now faaaaaawwwwkkkk!!!!
Engine doesn't turn over? Do the lights come on?
I’m on an 09
I miss my CBR sometimes, I sold it two years ago.
