    Enjoyed the video and many of your others. One note about your oil change. Honda recommends NOT screwing the oil fill cap down when checking the oil level. Just let the cap rest freely on the threads. You may need to recheck your oil level.

    • @nate32185
      @nate32185  4 роки тому +1

      Thanks Rick! I own so many engines it’s tough to remember which ones have the dipstick threaded in for measuring and which don’t. Honestly it was at the highest point within range. “Close enough” That’s between you and me though 😉. I hadn’t turned the engine over yet so I knew it would go down once the oil filter got its fill. Thanks for your correction though.

    Be careful using regular oil, the clutches may start to slip, that why motorcycle oil is recommended.
