Great video, and it does look easy! -FYI: CRF1000L A/D Engine Oil Check (From Honda Manual) Place bike on side-stand. Start and allow to idle 3-5 minutes. Stop Engine and wait 2-3 minutes. Remove Dipstick and clean. Hold bike upright on level ground. Insert Dipstick until it seats (but do not screw in)
Just a short note: The oil drain bolts has to be tighten to 30 Nm torque with a proper torque wrench. Great video and thanks for sharing! Regards from Argentina!
Thanks for the video. Nice and straightforward. I'll do mine in the spring but I don't think I'll be doing the air filters as they sound like a nuisance.
Be aware Haynes manuals often differ in specs and volumes from OEM. I would recommend a cleaning all around the filter and two drain plugs with carb cleaner and rag stuff like mud will certainly be above that filter. Always torque filter and drain bolts.
That’s right, and also never on a backstand, not on the centre stand and not on the side stand, just keep it straight on two tyres and measure. The AT is a bit of a pain to measure it just right. Because the dipstick is very picky about that.
idea... maybe doing one on adjusting the chain? :) nice video. I will leave it to the dealer while it is in warranty. but by next year I hope to do my own too.
It's super easy, you might want to start studying. In the description I have the link to the Africa Twin maintenance manual which is like a maintenance Bible, there's everything there. Good idea about the chain.
Thanks sir for the vedio Nice work By the way I have same bike same color , I want to ask you , could you please share me the link of panniers base , from where you get it , Thanks 😊
No offense my AT friend, but at the beginning I thought you were talking about chip oil! Definitely not a good idea. If you're not used to 'feeling' the tightness a torque wrench is a good idea, it's too easy to overtighten. Hand tightening the oil filter is sufficient, and the dipstick shouldn't be screwed in for level check - you're underfilling. Safe riding 🇬🇧
Thank you so much, hope it helped. Yes it does. I bought my paddock stand at Harbor Freight for $24 after a 20% discount coupon. It's pretty strong, I'd keep an eye on it, but it's very stable. About the dipstick, in the video I screw it all the way in to check how close I was getting to full, I should've mentioned that, according to the Owner's Manual you're not supposed to screw it in. Thanks for your support. I'm working on the next video.
@@ridewyoming probabilmente hai frainteso. Non ho bisogno di sentirmi soddisfatto di me stesso e non ho postato alcun video l'ho fatto per la mia moto. Ma sarebbe più utile postare per gli altri come fare la sostituzione del filtro e delle candele. Se la metti su questo tono........
Scusa ma il tuo post originale sembrava una presa per il culo. Nessuno ha mai detto che cambiare l'olio sia difficile, però è una cosa che si impara, non si nasce con la conoscenza. Era il mio primo cambio e sono rimasto contento di quanto sia stato facile. La popolarità del video ha dimostrato che molti volevano un video del genere. Poi non so se tu sei venuto a vederlo con principio di deridere o con interesse genuino visto che lo sai fare già senza problemi. Almeno, io non vado a cercare video di UA-cam di cose che so già fatte. Un giorno imparerò a cambiare anche le candele e farò il video di quello, così potrò aiutare qualcuno che non se la sente a farlo, così come ho fatto in questo video.

To check the oil level the deep stich as to put on and not screwed !

Thank you!
Does the torque wrench tells you the measure? Or how do you know its tight enough?
Complimenti per il tuo garage e officina. Ricordati che l'Italia ti aspetta.
Divertiamoci con le nostre Africa. 👍👍👍
Grazie, magari fosse. È il garage di amici. Vengo in Italia a Marzo
Clear - uncomplicated. Very good.
Thank you very much

yes, air filters are quite a workout
Be aware Haynes manuals often differ in specs and volumes from OEM. I would recommend a cleaning all around the filter and two drain plugs with carb cleaner and rag stuff like mud will certainly be above that filter. Always torque filter and drain bolts.
Thanks for the advice
On Africa T you check oil level without the bayonet being screw in. Read the manual.
Yes, check the comments, I talked about it there
That’s right, and also never on a backstand, not on the centre stand and not on the side stand, just keep it straight on two tyres and measure. The AT is a bit of a pain to measure it just right. Because the dipstick is very picky about that.
Yes, thank you
Bravo ti stai organizzando per bene Complimenti
Spero di non aver sbagliato
Grazie!
That oil was clean 👌
It was old, it had 4000 miles
idea... maybe doing one on adjusting the chain? :) nice video. I will leave it to the dealer while it is in warranty. but by next year I hope to do my own too.

The oil level is measured without screwing in the dipstick.
Complimenti Per quello che fai 👍❤
Grazie !!
HP4S full fynethic is where it is at, GN4 is decent.
Thank you, very helpful video! Subbed! 👍
Thank you so much
Thanks sir for the vedio
Nice work
By the way I have same bike same color , I want to ask you , could you please share me the link of panniers base , from where you get it , Thanks 😊
Hi. Thank you very much for watching. I have a video about the panniers with the link in the description

No offense taken, thanks
How does the torque wrench tells you it is tight enough?
Muito obrigado , video muito bem explicativo. Saudações do Brasil.
Muito obrigado. muito gentil de sua parte
Great video. Thanks! Does the oil level read higher on the dipstick when it's on the side stand?

I guess I'm pretty randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to stream new movies online ?
@Dominic Thiago Flixportal xD
@Avery Randy thanks, I signed up and it seems to work :) Appreciate it !
@Dominic Thiago no problem xD
Do not screw the oelstick when you Check the oll level
Nice greetings from austria
Thank you. I have a friend from Vienna visiting tomorrow 😊
@@ridewyoming oh thats nice i am from tirol
Esattamente quanto olio hai messo?
el nivel de aceite se mira SIN roscar la varilla creo yo - the oil level is seen WITHOUT screwing the dipstick I think-sorry google translate
Yes, I wrote it up already
What's the oil used here? Can't focus much
Is this the same procedure for the DCT bike?
very similar, I recommend checking the manual I show in the video
Very nice vid!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice, look muy facil
Thanks. It is. Next time I change the oil I will do a timed event to break my record.
Fa vedere come sostituire filtro dell'aria e le candele, vediamo se e' facile....!!!
Quando arriverò a quel punto lo farò. Nel frattempo fallo tu 😉
@@ridewyoming gia' fatto.
Poi lo cerco e ti scrivo quanto sei bravo, così ti senti soddisfatto di te stesso 😉

You check the oil level by pulled up rear whell. Read manual how to check it correctly. Its wrong.
I thought you checked the oil without screwing it back in? But good vid
Have fun removing the filter next time. You're supposed to tighten that by hand 🤦
Thanks for the kind remark
You are supposed to tighten that with a torque wrech to 26Nm if I'm right. This one was overtorqued.
