After you change oil or cold start, wait about 20 seconds for oil to pump to the camshafts before blipping the throttle. Otherwise you are grinding metal on the engine top end. If you listen closely, you can actually hear the engine sound change when the oil is pumping to the cams.
Great step by step video. I'm changing my oil on my 2017 Honda Cbr300r for the first time and a little nervous about it because changing out my kickstand was a doozy lol so thanks so much for this video. I have the oil and filter just have to get the courage lol to take on this project😬
@@AliandShan I DID IT !!!! I CHANGED MY OIL!!!!! 💃 lol took me about 2 hrs but I got it lol it started to get dark and so I will go back out tomorrow afternoon and change out the filter! I'm going to watch u guys video again and make sure I fully understand the fairing removal part to get to the filter chamber. Thanks for the encouragement. I felt so accomplished to be able to change my own oil today. I poured in 1 and 1/2 courts of GN4 , thats correct right???
@@AliandShan 😑 went to change my oil filter this morning and guess what? The bolt right by the rear brake is rounded out,🤦♀️ I'm unable to use my Allen key to loosen it. I purchased a damaged screw removal set so I hope that works 🙏
thanks for the video I have been doing it the hard way by taking out the Torx plug out and having to remove the exhaust, saved you saved me a bunch of time, thanks!!
Hey working on mine how did you end up removing that tucked up screw to allow you to access the filter.Your way seems far simpler than removing everything. New to working on my bike. Thanks
Hey, so use the torque wrench that's easy to unscrew.. Besides have to open 4 screw same time not 1 by 1.. and if u can show me that's easy send me a video, if u can - kongfupanda6969@gmail.com
You don't have to fill all the way... There is 2 lines on the indicator glass top line for full bottom line for low... Just fill till the top... Besides Kawasaki zx6r needs 3.5 liters oil ..
Oil is dripping from the filter area but I've tied the screws as recommended by manual. Is it normal that it's dripping the first couple of times I've turn on the bike?
The question, don't you normally change the filter when changing the oil? I just noticed the shop parts receipt and the filter part is not listed. l live in another country and there is an English communication issue.
Yes in normal circumstances you do filter and oil change together. There are very rare instances where you would not change filter but change the oil . I have done that like once in my lifetime that I can remember
@@AliandShan Thanks for the confirmation.. I am going to another shop to have them do this right.. the other shop just informed me the do not change the filter always.. they wait for a 10K interval.. the bike is a Honda CBR 300R 2015
I got that from Amazon.

At that moment with my research I decided to go with *10w-40* although 10w-30 says on the manual. *10w-40* : 10w refers to the oil's ability to not freeze. The lower the number, the better it is able to withstand cold temps. 40 refers to it's viscosity. *10w40* would be thicker than 10w30. *40 viscosity will work just fine in the bike. It is the more popular than the 30 in terms of availability and practicality. 40 grade oil has the potential of working in anything from cars, motorcycles, to tractors and semi-trucks, depending on how it's formulated. 30 grade is too watery for tractors and semi-trucks. So that's why 40 grade is more popular.
How much oil did you put back in? The whole 5qt?
Fixed* about 1.6qt . And its written on the engine cover how much should you put in.
Never put 2 quarts in. Lol it says exactly in the manual. You’re supposed to put exactly 1.6 quarts no more no less.
About 2 mentioning based on the bike

Thanks for your suggestion we will wait next time, and let the oil to pump to the camshafts before revving..

Very good video, you made it look easy, thank you. I have a CBR-300R in Thailand.
Thank you

like the vid. just dont ever rev a cold bike.
Did you reuse the gasket? Or do you need a new one each change?
You don't need each change. But after 2/3 change you should put a new gasket.
@@AliandShan awesome thanks!
Should the oil level hit the top line indicator of the engine oil level when the bike is on stand during the refill?
You don't have to fill all the way... There is 2 lines on the indicator glass top line for full bottom line for low... Just fill till the top... Besides Kawasaki zx6r needs 3.5 liters oil ..
@@AliandShan Thank you for the help!
No worries. Keep riding and stay safe
Oil is dripping from the filter area but I've tied the screws as recommended by manual.
Is it normal that it's dripping the first couple of times I've turn on the bike?
Its shouldn't drip... But if its not dripping now then its fine ... Just check couple of times after ride is that still dripping or not...
the manuals says that you should use 1.5liter of sae 10w30 oil if you change the oil filter too
Yes I see the same thing in the manual
its your choice u dont have to follow exact match to manual. different locations weather conditions etc also factor in

Yea. Should change filter and oil together . It's better for the bike
@@AliandShan Will do.. thanks again..
Filter doesn't fit the 2019 cbr300r?.. according to Amazon
The one in this video is 2016 CBR 300. When purchasing a filter it should display up to what year bikes it can fit
What kind of filter u use can't see it ?
K&N filter
Is it the same filter size for the 2018 version? I’ve looked for it on Amazon but i get a pop up saying its not compatible with my model
I would probably say no since it's 9 year gap between the models. I would go with exact match
What year is your bike?
That is 2016 cbr300
Where did you get that center kickstand from?

@@AliandShan thank you man, appreciate the response
You are welcome
How much and where did you get your exhaust?

Thanks for the great tutorial
Thanks for the compliment
neat boi!
Thanks bro!
Bro if this is a 2018 it’s 10 w30 oil not 10w40

Why are you barefoot???!
Working on it in the garage. Just didn't think of it I guess
Didn’t even notice cause I’m always bare foot 😂
Xxd
What is the capacity of the oil on this bike?
1.4-1.6 qts
