The dealerships can be expensive and have overheads to cover hence the higher prices but if your confident in doing your own servicing and maintenance then you'll save yourself an absolute fortune. I still had my bike serviced at the dealership whilst still under warranty but I also serviced the bike myself in-between the dealer services. Its a nice easy job on the CB650R and very satisfying doing it yourself! Thanks for watching and I'm glad it helped you out!
Nice to see you back making content Sean. I hope you and Willy had a great adventure on your bikes and seeing Dave at his home in Austria. I’m sure as the weather improves into summer you’ll get plenty of footage out and about.
Cheers buddy, the adventure was awesome apart from the rain in Italy lol. It was great to spend a few days at Daves house in Austria as he's an absolute gem of a guy. I've used the bike every single day in May, the poor mini is feeling neglected lol
Nice job well done. I went for K&N as it has the 17mm nut on the end. I agree hand tight too, nowt worse than a fully stuck filter.. I have been looking at making a wee oil burner for the pergola in winter, I will make one at some point.
Cheers Dan, yes hand tight is all that's required as there's nothing worse than trying to get a filter off that's been wound up too tight. Great idea with the oil burner, you'll need to make a couple of vids on that
I know what you mean, I have had that problem with cars too. Its always worth double checking the level then check once again after a ride for complete peace of mind!
Cheers buddy, I had an amazing time thanks! Yes still got the mini, it was basking in the sunshine so I could get the bike in the garage plus it gave me a chance to give the garage a good clean lol
Hi Ricky, Yes, you are absolutely correct about the service interval mileage. However, I had just added 4000 miles onto the bike in 3 weeks, so that warranted a service in my book. The oil is the blood of your engine, and by keeping that clean, you will prolong the life of your engine. Thanks for watching! All the best. Sean
Hi and welcome, off the top of my head I think it’s every 6000km. I personally service my bikes at around 3500 miles and do it myself. I did get the dealer to also service it for the first 2 years to maintain the warranty Congratulations on getting your new bike. I’ve not rode the e clutch version yet but one of the guys at work is waiting on his e clutch 650 coming so I may ask him for a ride on it lol
Absolutely spot on mate! Subscribed, new to road bikes so this helped me massively! Recently purchased rear paddock stand and has the swingarm rubber L bracket's...got the hook attachments too and was wondering are the bobbins any better than the swingarm L brackets? Like any advantage? Also going to use your link for the front paddock stand...will this do for a Honda cb650r 2019? Cheers mate, Aidan
Hi buddy and thanks for subscribing to my channel. I hope the videos will be if some use to you. Re the front Paddock stand, thus will do the 2019 model too plus you get an assortment of pins for the stand. My reasons for opting for that type of front stand was if I needed to remove the forks. That way the bike will still be supported. The L shape stand I bought was mainly so I could work on almost any bike as some bikes don't have the bobbins. I have a Suzuki Bandit as well as the Honda and these stands fit both bikes however, I need to change the pin for the Bandit as the hole in the bottom yoke is larger. An abba skylift is on my wish list but before I invest in that I need to sort the garage out as I've literally no room in there to work on bikes properly
Hi mate, got the paddock stands you recommended and they work a dream, makes life so much easier. I plan to change the oil and filter for my 2019 cb650r...the filter looks so tight to get to and was looking at the tool you used...do you think this tool would fit my 2019 filter? Or even if I go for a tool that fits the 2019 filter will do the job? Like I say it just looks really tight but my filter does have the edges on it for a filter socket to fit so assuming it should do the job? Cheers mate, Aidan
Hi Aiden, the tool will fit the filter no problem. It shouldn't be tight to remove and remember not to over tighten it on refitting the new filter. I usually just make them hand tight with a tiny nip just for good measure
@@BMCMOTOUK cheers for speedy reply mate, I'll order this for the bike and get to it...keep your videos up mate you know what your doing, new sprocket and chain fitting video be good next or even just a degrease and lube. I'll be sure just to hand tighten with a slight nip anyway mate
Thanks Aidan, much appreciated 👍 God knows when I'll get round to a chain and sprocket change as the chains and sprockets on both bikes are still like new, probably because I clean and lubricate them religiously. Glad the videos are a help to you as it makes them worthwhile knowing I've helped or given someone confidence to do their own maintenance and in turn saving them money on labour at a garage or dealership
Thanks buddy, I have been spannering for many years so you sort of get the feel for it. Off the top of my head I think the torque value is about 26Nm for the sump. Welding is a fine art and hats off to you! I can just about get by with it. The red mini in the background has been practically rebuilt by me and I had to weld in many new panels for that car. I even had to invest in a spot welder for that project, great bits of kit they are lol
Hi Nigel, I fitted the Givi rack and pannier rails. As for usefulness, I don't know how I survived without one before. My Top box is the Givi E370NT Monolock Top Case - 37 Litre and I also fitted the Givi M5M Monolock Top Plate as I personally think it looks neater compared to the universal top plate you get with the top box. With regards to the panniers, I wasn't keen on the Givi cases/ bags so I modified my hangers to accept Kriega plates and I mounted my lomo bags instead. My modification was simple and completely reversible should I decide to mount the givi soft cases in the future. Hope this answers your questions. All the best, Sean
I got charged £180 for a service at my local Honda dealership, next year I'll definitely do it myself. Cheers for showing us how simple it is to do.

After watching your video I am hoping to do my second service myself so good to see you showed everything in so much detail well done bro
Thanks Imran. Go for it buddy, doing an oil service is really easy and you'll save yourself a fortune!

Excellent step by step as always 👍
Cheers Rod, I think I need a hydraulic table lift. I'm getting too old for working on the floor lol
Good job done Sean 👍
Cheers Derek 👍
I have this bike and sometimes i get crazy because the measures it is not correctly, and you have to check again and again.
I know what you mean, I have had that problem with cars too. Its always worth double checking the level then check once again after a ride for complete peace of mind!
i changed oil n oil filter for trident, thankfully oil filter was positioned horizontal, didn't get messy whew
Good man! Doing your own servicing is awesome and you save a lot of money 😁
@@BMCMOTOUK yup
Proud of you buddy! 👍
Another top video Sean. Do you still have the mini? Hope your trip went well
Cheers buddy, I had an amazing time thanks! Yes still got the mini, it was basking in the sunshine so I could get the bike in the garage plus it gave me a chance to give the garage a good clean lol
Nice video mate 👍😊
Cheers buddy 👍
I thought the second service was due at 8k miles? Did I miss something?
Great vids by the way. Good job with the CB650R content. 👍🏾

@BMC MOTO UK ah! Ok yeah fair enough, always good to give it a once over after a long journey.
Interested to know if you got many more vids planned.
@Ricky Berkeley thanks Ricky, check out my Euro 23 playlist as there's 1 video out already on my trip with another 9 to follow
i'm getting soon a new E-CB650R, wanna know oil change is every 6000Km or 12000 ?, im living in extreme dusty weather algerian sahara

You should tighten it at 30Nm
Hand tight with a nip is more than enough for me 👌
@BMCMOTOUK as a welder, hand tight can be fatal sometimes 😃 that's why i wrote it.
But the video is just amazing.
Thank you.

@BMCMOTOUK 26Nm is the oil filter, 30Nm is the oil drain :)
I'm not profi, so i like to know how to, and what to.. :) but you're welcome
Where the oil filter took from mate
What do you mean buddy?
Sorry mate the tool you used to take the oil filter off 😂
@@harrycraddock1708 got ya! I bought it from Honda along with the filter.
@@harrycraddock1708 check link in the description 😀
Hi there, I was wondering what rear rack you have fitted to your bike and also your opinion on how useful it is cheers
Hi Nigel, I fitted the Givi rack and pannier rails. As for usefulness, I don't know how I survived without one before. My Top box is the Givi E370NT Monolock Top Case - 37 Litre and I also fitted the Givi M5M Monolock Top Plate as I personally think it looks neater compared to the universal top plate you get with the top box. With regards to the panniers, I wasn't keen on the Givi cases/ bags so I modified my hangers to accept Kriega plates and I mounted my lomo bags instead. My modification was simple and completely reversible should I decide to mount the givi soft cases in the future. Hope this answers your questions. All the best, Sean
@@BMCMOTOUK Cheers for that Sean
Your welcome Nigel
link to your front and rear stands?
Hi, please check my video description. Everything covered in this video is linked there. All the best
Привет из России. Если бы поставил на боковую подножку, слилось бы больше масла. И никогда, вообще никогда, не наливай масло в новый фильтр.
Thanks Buddy 👍
The title is wrong , it should be CB650R instead of 560
Thanks for pointing that out buddy 👍
@@BMCMOTOUK 👍
@manos69420 much appreciated sir!
