- Aloha everyone!
Completed my first oil change EVER and I must say, it was pretty easy and I learned a lot! I always change my car oil(I have a Honda Civic) and thought it shouldn’t be that hard on a bike.
**PLEASE PROPERLY DISPOSE ANY USED OIL**
I got the oil changing kit that came with EVERYTHING! The link is 2017-2021 Honda CMX 500 Rebel CMX500 Rebel 500 OEM Complete Oil Change Kit H23 www.amazon.com/dp/B08F83HPY9/...
Things you will need:
Oil changing kit
12MM Socket
An oil pan/catcher
Shop towels/rags
Rear stand(optional)
Cardboard(optional)
ALUMINUM FOIL TO COVER YOUR PIPES!
It took about a total of 5 minutes(if you know what you’re doing). I’m glad I was able to get that hands on experience with my bike. I definitely learned a lot. Like using a plastic bag over my pipes next time to prevent oil from getting on it👀
I hope this helped!
2:25 is where I actually start if you don’t want to hear my voice😂

Thank you! Still helpful out here in 2023! I just bought a honda scl500, same engine. I've never done an oil change on a bike, but this gives me confidence that it's possible!
Same here!
Thank you! Just did my first oil change on my ‘21 Rebel 500 with help from your video
NICE! Power to you! I hope you learned from me on what not to do to get oil on your pipes😂🙌
I watched your video before I did my first oil change. I noticed you was really concerned about getting oil on your pipes, as was I. I decided to just leave it on the kickstand while doing the oil change. It worked out great. I didn’t get a drop on my pipes. Love your videos keep up the good work.
Your video is still put to good use here in 2023. Thank you for the positive vibes and great video
Thanks Lyssa ! I watched your video before changing the oil on my Honda which I've done four times before but just as a refresher. Enjoyed your presentation and sense of humor. Cheers, d
Thanks Doug, I’m glad you enjoyed it!😁
Great tutorial video. I own the 2017 version of the 500. Thanks love your videos!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy the videos!
Just about to do my first oil change on my first bike and yours was the first video I clicked on. What a coincidence...You remind me of me, both in ethnicity, and your motorcycle looks just like mine! Thanks for a great video and information!
I would recommend on your next oil change is to do it with the bike on its side stand. That way, when you removed the oil filer, it will flows away from the pipes. Good video!
Thanks for the good suggestion! I might try that next time. Everyone is suggesting to put aluminum foil on the pipes to prevent the oil from getting on them.
Yup, I always use foil + use the side stand and I’ve never gotten oil on my pipes. Btw, your tutorials are awesome🤘🏽😉
Super super helpful. Thank you for posting this!
No problem! Glad I could help😁
I did my first oil change after I watched your video. Boy, the oil change was definitely needed. The last owner seems to not have replaced it as they should. Oil came out dark. The bike definitely run smoother now. Thank you 😜
Nice! I’m glad you did your oil change after watching my video! I hope you were able to see what not to do as well😂 and oh man, it’s so nice to notice the difference after an oil change. Much needed!
@@LyssaWithAnE Out of curiosity, it says only the drain plug oil is needed for replacing on the 8000 mile mark. Do you change the filter as well on this interval?
Yayy mate! Got the same bike love your video!!! i will change my oil in 500 miles
thank you for your video , it was helpful I'm getting my honda 500 this coming month. also you memes when spilt the oil on exhaust are funny as hell :)
Very nice and well done. I am curious to see more of your paddock stand setup.
A few people have asked about my rear stand haha. Maybe I’ll do a little show-and-tell of it for you guys👌😂
Thank you ! I enjoyed the video and learned !
That was a great video. I don't have the Rebel 500 but I do have the SCL500 Scrambler. I'm sure it will be the same procedure.
Good stuff! I used aluminum foil to wrap the pipes and it worked well if that helps for future changes
Excellent Tutorial!
Thank you!
Hi Lysaa,
Your rebel is very clean and shiny! Can u make a video of how to clean your motorcycle, tools and equipments involved to get it this shiny.
Thanks
Love this video! Thanks! I'd love to know what rear stand you used (or would recommend).
super helpful, thanks!
❤❤still using your vid as a reference! Ty hun!!!❤❤❤❤❤
This is a great video! Everything is done as it should be. The one thing I would do just to be very safe and sure is to use a torque wrench to tighten the drain bolt. And it’s one of the best investments I’ve made. I’ve a ridden someone’s dirt bike for a quick test run just cuz I wanted to try it out. As I’m riding, I hit the high rev range and the drain bolt pops out and oil starts gushing down as I’m going forward. Idk what he tightened the plug with, but I would use a torque wrench.
Also with torque wrenches you have to calibrate them every once in a while to make sure they’re accurate
Nice video! I like the mods on your bike. How is your seat? Im thinking of getting just a passenger seat, but that one looks good.
*edit: i just saw your video on the seat. Might pick one up. Thanks!
Foil works to cover the pipes
Thanks for that! I ended up using foil for the second time I change my oil, and it worked perfectly!
As a side note, its a good idea to go for a short ride, then dump the oil.
Science:- Dirt settles out of the oil as it cools. Not a huge issue, just good practice. 😊
Thank you for your video 👍🏼
Thanks. Great video. Super helpful
I know this is about the oil change but your tattoo is so cool
Beautiful Rebel. Love the rear and front bags. Any link from them? 😊
I really like your bike style (seat, sissy bar...) ^^
Thank you!
6:58 Friend zoned in an oil change video is crazy 😂
I usually put oil to my exhaust pipes after washing my motorcycle. It keeps my exhaust pipe clean and maintain its black color.
Hmmm, I did notice that when I got some oil on my pipes. Is it safe though in the long run? Will it ruin the pipes in any way? I’m curious now...
I had my honda wave 110 in 2008 and luckily up to this year i haven't had a replacement to its exhaust pipe. I usually use oil on sponge and wipe it on the exhaust but now for less hassle i use wd-40 spray. After doing that i leave the motorcycle on and idle until the fumes from the burning oil is gone. The oil keeps off water and it prevents your exhaust pipe from getting rust. And i keep practicing it on my honda rebel.
That is a very interesting logic you put there. Thank you for sharing that, I always appreciate the info!
And thanks for the video. Now i know how to change oil my honda rebel by myself. I'll do that once free preventive maintenance service and warranty is done. Keep posting.
Of course! I’m glad i could remind a few folks to complete their oil change😂 Ride safe!
Good job 👏
Wow very helpful video.
Glad I can help!
Hi Lyssa, you are super B!! Can you show in any video how remove the side covers and access to the battery to start it if the battery runs out. Thanks and regards form Spain in Europe.
Thanks for the support, I appreciate it! As for the video with the battery, I will definitely try to make one! I’m actually going to be away from my bike for the next six months due to work, so I had to disconnect the battery since I left my bike in storage. But as soon as I get back, I will try to make a video about disconnecting and connecting the battery for the bike and see if it starts, because I definitely had a bit of a hard time following the manual disconnecting the battery myself😅
Next time u can use foil to prevent the oil from touching the exhaust
See, you do know more than me!😂 smart idea though, thank you, I’ll make sure to do that next time👌
Late to the party, but one thing you can use to prevent getting on your exhaust (on any bike) or frame on cars, is using a "form a funnel"
Nice job!!!
Thank you!
You are wrong about 'hand tight'. Honda specifies 22 ft lb for the drain plug and 19 ft lb for the filter. The drain plug torque is critical as the crush washer needs to crush (no small torque), yet the thread needs to stay undamaged (no huge torque).
this video just reminded me to change my oil. Good job. How can a dealership justify such high prices on a 10 to 15 minute job???
Glad I could remind you to change your oil!😂 but I know what you meeeeeeeean! He showed me the invoice receipt and it was OVER $200 for an oil change! UNBELIEVABLE. And the most of it was for labor🤦♀️
They also do adjustments and make sure everything is tight not just the oil you pay for the peace of mind knowing your bike is road safe
What about the other filter on the right side?
Hi, can I ask you for the model of rear stand you used for the bike and where I can find it. Thank you
I got 2023 rebel 500, will it be the same thing?
🎉Very funny 🌞 Super video and good job.🎊
Hahaha thank you!! I’m just here for your entertainment 😂
@@LyssaWithAnE Do you have Instagram or email?
What rear stand do you have? I have the same bike & may have bought the wrong stand.
When did you get your honda rebel 2020 with how many miles? How much did you pay for it?
Great job 👍🏿,on the 300 it's a bit different and I'm about to do mine :)
Is it? I’m curious... how so?
@@LyssaWithAnE different oil filter, it's a 2020 300, and the oil filter is a little tiny thing..... But basically the same steps... I bought all the stuff for it just haven't done it yet. Maybe after mother's day.... Yea I'll vlog it :)
@@LyssaWithAnE Take a look at this vid of a guy doing a 300 - you'll see the Filter is completely different than the 500 (ya, i should have bought the 500 :) ) th-cam.com/video/gk4KO9Taw1o/w-d-xo.html
Oh wow, yeah, that is a HUGE difference! I just watched the video and I was already confused on what he was doing with all of his parts haha. Thanks for sharing this though, that was interesting!
Great video! Pretty sure the oil level is supposed to be between the two lines not all the way across the glass?
Thanks! And yes, you are right! I need to start thinking of my phrases before saying them😅 I know what I mean when saying it, but others may not😅 thanks for that
What kind of oil wrench did you use?? I need one!!!! Help a girl out lol
Not really related to the video, although another enjoyable video to watch from you. But it's so cool to come down to the center section and see the interactions you are having and always seeing so many views 🙌
I know right! I feel the same about seeing how many people comment on my videos! It give me more encouragement to keep going :)
@@LyssaWithAnE always got the support from me 👍 I talk about your channel to friends of mine cause I think its so cool haha
Hahahaha, all good things I hope!
@@LyssaWithAnE Absolutely 😁 I get so hyped about it and always recommend they come check out the channel
3 litros de aceite ?, No es mucho ?
Thank you!
Subbed.
I appreciate it!
Thanks for saving me some cash! Will try it myself. Watched you with the cowl as well. Dem tight bolts tho!!!
Did you use all 3 quarts completely?
I’m glad I could help! The cowl was definitely a pain with the tight spaces🙃 haha. But I did use all 3, then realized the bike only needs 2.7qts so I drained some out after!
Hi Lissa with an E
Two things...what brand paddock and where did you get it. Do you have spools? I'd like to hear your fancy new horn sometime. Hope all is well with you these days.
Oil filter size? 64mm 14?
Looking nice, Is that new Rebel a single cylinder or a twin? 500cc on a single cylinder seems like too high (ehem KTM Ducati BMW) but still.
That sound is definitely a twin.
What's new on your end of town
Is that 10w30?
Any issues using that harbor freight stand?
I remember it did hit the stock exhaust a bit, but it wasn’t too drastic or impossible to use it. Other than that, no issues whatsoever!
What motorcycle stand is that?
Looks simple enough. How much oil do you need? On my CB300R it uses 1.5 litres i think so i can do 2 oil changes out of one big jug.
Oh woah, 1.5gals? Dang! But honestly, I believe the Rebel takes 2.7qts of oil, just shy of the 3qts the package comes with. The whole process is definitely pretty simple for this bike. Much easier than changing oil on a car in my opinion!
@@LyssaWithAnE oh you're using imperial 🤣
1- Nivelar la moto y dejarla enfriar
2:51- Sacar el tapón superior de aceite y luego la tuerca (12mm)
4:04- Sacar el filtro (poner bolsas para evitar manchar)
6:17- Poner la tuerca con la arandela nueva. A continuación lubrique el filtro de aceite nuevo y apretarlo fuerte a mano
7:03- Rellenar la moto con el nuevo aceite (capacidad según manual 2,5L (2,7L cambiando también el filtro de aceite*))
Poner la tapa. Es buena idea encender la moto antes de llenar completamente los 2,7L para que drene un poco el aceite, notaremos que bajará un poco. Una vez finalizado todo, comprobar fugas, nivel correcto, etc.
thanks again Lyssa !
😢 no torque spec?
Great channel, even if i don’t have a Rebel.
Do you follow Gakimoto also?
Thanks for the support even if you’re not a rebel owner😂 but I do not follow Gakimoto… i’ll definitely look into them right now!
"MY PIPES" 😆🤣
My emotions really showed when the oil got on my pipes😅😂
I have done watching your oil change video, did you pour all 3 x 1L oil on your rebel!?!?!? Because it onlyneeds 2.7L
Im not really sure, but as i watch it it you emptied all container! 😱😳
Thanks for the concern and letting my know! I poured a bit out of the first one to use it for the gasket on the filter, but I wasn’t aware that the bike only needs 2.7L instead of 3... I’ll keep an eye out for my bike and the way it runs... probably try to take some oil out if I can maybe...
what kind of lift did you use? also did you lift it with the stock exhaust ?
I used my rear wheel stand that I got from Harbor Freight and I lifted it by the swing arms near the rear tire. I know SOME people don’t even use a stand for their oil change(they keep it on their side kick stand) but I like to keep my bike leveled when I do it
@@LyssaWithAnE harbor freight ? Thanks ! I'm going to get one because I'm gonna be doing tire changes and brake pads in the future
Yup, harbor freight! It was a good price for the rear stand and I love it actually! Well worth the purchase😁 it doesn’t work for the front tire though of course, since it is a rear stand, but I’m able to do everything I need to on the back section with ease! I hope this helped!
That's right you used a piece of newspaper when your bike is not burning hot that exhaust pipe works good for a funnel to stop it going on your fpip brake cleaner works good to get oil about anything might want to watch your paint I'm not sure what it does to paint
i have same rebel 500 in france
Nice! Haven’t had anyone from France yet. That’s awesome to hear, welcome!😁
@@LyssaWithAnE Thank you for you tuto
You’re welcome!
Elyssa - did you have to remove the stock exhaust to use the rear stand ?
I switched my stock exhaust a while ago. But I was still able to use my rear stand with the stock exhaust when I did have it on
@@LyssaWithAnE where’d you get the stand ? I was looking at one from Harbor Freight but wasn’t sure if it would work
I got mine from them! My local harbor freight store had it in stock
did it take all 3 bottles?
It did not. It took a little less than 3. The manual for the Rebel 500 says it holds 2.7qts
For next change - wrap the pipes with aluminum foil - does better job of covering up all the head pipes so no oil gets on them.
That. Is. Genius. I wish I knew that before doing this... it’s okay, I live and learn👌😂
@@LyssaWithAnE actually, don't wrap the pipes with the aluminum foil. Just form the foil over the pipes like a channel to direct the oil to you drain pan 😁. Good job!!
Help me on my yamaha fz10 lol
😂 sure! I’m pretty sure you know more than me though
that's a very pretty tattoo.
Where did you get that sissy bar?
I had it custom made by a guy named Edward Richie on Etsy👌
Aluminum foil!!
Next time use aluminum foil and make a splash shield.
Thanks for the tip, a few others mentioned that as well! You learn something new everyday. Will definitely try that method next time!
next time , use tin foil , it'll be better
Thank you for the tip! A few people have also suggested that. It was definitely a learning experience for me
Don't Titan your oil drain plug that guy you'd ever you can strip the threads in your gran pain and caused you a bunch of money are telling how it got that tita that look way to tita
