Great job on the video! You are spot on about the rear brake dust issue. I clean mine every time I wash the bike and it is always covered in the stuff. I ride a 2019 Tour Manual. Keep up the good work.
Good video. Just a caution on the gear oil also used as clutch oil, this is not the case. The gear oil is only at the rear of the shaft. The clutch is much further forward at the transmission. There is no need to do a clutch alignment after changing the drive shaft oil.
It is so easy to do on the new GW. Reminds me my FJR. Mine was 1.5 oz low after heading back from the dealer first ride on a 2020. I do not trust anyone but my own eyes. It took me mins to add more and done deal. The dealer clearly didn't check. I would change it every oil change. After all, it cost pennies to do and worth it.
If you have the standard model, would this be the same procedure? And I STOPPED even trying to keep rear rim clean. Is there better brake pads that don’t dust so much? Answered, never mind
Hi Jay. I can't confirm about the manual transmission bike but if it has a rear diff, the process would be the same. The fluid level to fill it may differ but you can confirm with your owners manual. Oh dear lord, the brake dust. I feel ya my friend. Keeping that rear wheel clean is a huge chore. I just did this yesterday and I am always left scratching my head. I highly recommend a good Iron/brake dust remover. Chemical Guys, Griotts etc. all have them. Some are better than others. I use Chemical Guys Decon Pro Iron Remover. Sometimes hard to get from their website but easily had on Amazon. Spray it on a dry wheel, and spray off with a hose. I can stretch out the times I clean the wheel every 500-600 miles. Winter in the North East may present its challenges since I can break out the hose but I now have it down to a 15 minute process. As for the brake pads that don't create dust. Unfortunately, that mouse trap hasn't been invented yet. Some pads shed worse than others but I am very happy with the stopping power and life of the OEM pads. Not sure I would be willing to sacrifice that for a pad that sheds less.
That's actually a really good suggestion. I had not planned on it but I do have them installed on the oil pan of a hot rod that I own and they pick up all sorts of crap you would not expect to be circulating in your systems.
@@ridenwithrick3771 yes I missed my brake point but my question is did your bike need more oil then it required? I checked the levels several times until the line was in the middle just like you supposed to but I really needed more then it said.?
I’m sorry Phillip. I didn’t answer the second part of your question. Seems to me mine took a little more than required. Not much though. Make sure you check your oil while the bike is upright and don't screw the oil stick in when doing so.
@@ridenwithrick3771 no problem ty I thought it was my imagination. Yes I put it on the center stand. I really appreciate it your video if your ever interested in riding I'm coming out of bethlehem pa. Ty rick
Thanks for making this video! I just bought my 2018 wing back in Feb 2020 and was wondering if I should do this procedure in my next oil change. I have heard some people claim their gear oil was not filled correctly at the dealer when they purchased but how would one know that? Would you hear anything unusual? Probably? Good stuff..👍🏻
Hi MotoRider41 - first let me say congrats on the new bike. My personal opinion is to change it now. When I bought my 2018, it had virtually no fluid in the rear diff. Luckily, I had already decided to change it on my initial 500 mile oil change. I shocked to see the fluid so low. I did not notice any symptoms such as noise etc but I would imagine if you did hear noise, its probably too late. Since the procedure is so easy and cheap to do, I don't even bother checking the fluid level. Instead, I just change the oil. And in doing so, at least you will have peace of mind knowing its right.
@@motorider4130 let us know how you make out. It also won't hurt to do a DCT reset while you have the rear wheel up off the ground. Oh wait, that's if you have DCT.
Ride'n with Rick will do. i actually have the 6-spd manual non-tour that I just added the oem trunk to...great deal on the non tour but I knew I would be adding the trunk later on. That was a job and a half 😂😂
I find any work done on this bike can be a major undertaking. Once you pull the plastic off though, it doesn't seem so daunting the next time around. I think I am done on the upgrades other than a "possible" Traxxion suspension upgrade. We shall see on that one.
Yes only gears. My mistake. If I edited every word that came out of my mouth in a TH-cam video, I would never get through a video. I’m surprised you didn’t pick up on me calling something a gasket when in reality, it’s a seal. Cut me some slack my man. I’m just putting out these videos to help others.
For a DCT model bike equipped with a Centerstand, the 2018-2019 Service Manual states to put the bike on its Centerstand. And before you knock me up for a misspelling, Center Stand is referred to as Centerstand in the Honda service manual.
@@ridenwithrick3771 Thanks for replying. And my spelling comment was aimed at the commenter that was criticizing your sound. Pour sound vs. Poor sound.

The service manual says to slowly rotate the rear wheel while draining the oil.
Good quality video but there are no clutches in the final drive housing, only gears and bearings.
Great job on the video!

Keep up the good work.
just think if you never cleaned the rear what it would look like.

Great Video , I will be changing mine for the first time this weekend.
Magic, thanks Rick !!! Piece of cake following your instructions !!!
Glad you got it done. And sorry about the lousy sound on this video. One of my first ones I published. Welcome to the channel.
I love that mockingbird singing in the background ! Bird are wonderful !!
Great instructions. you sure keep it clean! Thanks

If you don’t mind getting down on the ground, it’s very simple to do and gives peace of mind knowing it’s right.
Great video that is detailed! Thank you Rick!
great video and amazing job . very informative.

Great video, where did you get syringe?
Rick, are you planning to install magnetic drain plugs for all 3 bolts? I hear those are very strong magnets.
That's actually a really good suggestion. I had not planned on it but I do have them installed on the oil pan of a hot rod that I own and they pick up all sorts of crap you would not expect to be circulating in your systems.
Very informative, thank you.
So it says dct tour, so does that mean the final drive fluid change is different than the manual?
Very good, thanks for sharing this.
Thank you. Welcome to the channel.
May I ask when you did your 1st oil engine change did it take a little more then required?? I did my 1st on my 2020???
Hi Phillip. I did my first oil and filter as well as the rear diff oil at 400 miles. My second change was around 8000

Bethlehem is a hop, skip, and a jump from where I live.
I dont know man. Every 3 years sounds perfectly reasonable given that you said it looked very clean after 8k miles.

Ride'n with Rick thanks..yep going to be changing that gear oil tomorrow for sure. If anything at least I’ll see how much is actually in there.

In your video you say the clutches burned up the extra oil.Sorry there are no clutches in that rear drive.

There are no clutches in the rear gear housing
That’s correct. Only gears packed in there.
Love the video...very informative!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What brand and type of syringe is that?
It’s actually a cheapie turkey baster I picked up at Target. 5 bucks.
So it is recommended to do on the side stand and not the center stand ?

I was going to reply to his comment but thought better of it. I let you do it. ha!
Gear oil never looks dirty, is a closed system with no combustion. On Harleys they run it well over 20,000 and it comes out perfectly clean.
My hearing must be going.... I had to crank the volume up all the way! But whatever the birds sound nice... good video though thanks for the tutorial
Sorry Timothy. The vid was made before I got a hold of my sound equipment.
@@ridenwithrick3771 All good still awesome video... thanks
This video have audio?
it does have audio.
Mockingbird bombing your audio!😅
Can barely hear the audio, but nice video
can't hear you
Thanks for true feedback. It was a common complaint until I upgraded my microphone.
This could have been a two minute video…uggh
12 not 40
not sure where I mention 40 but nonetheless ….
Got a pellet gun
No sound
Turn up your volume Paul. There is sound albeit it lousy. I’ve since upgraded microphones since the videos your watching.
pour sound
Yep. I know. One of my earlier vids where I didn’t have a proper mic
@@ridenwithrick3771 Learning all the time 😃

Even POORer spelling !
It’s only a laugh anyway
maybe youre riding your rear brake way too much. rarely ever use my rear brake
