Just as a heads up - The Nut on the K&N filters, are not for tightening them up to Torque, they are weak welds which will snap if force applied to them. They are designed for removal only.
@@motorcyclemaintenancechann2131 if you happen to take photos of the parts and numbers you can write part numbers in the video description. And you can link to them as well. And maybe there's a seller who will give you a commission if you put your link up there. If they're on Amazon then you can become an Amazon affiliate and get a little bit if people use your link to buy.
Nice vid. I like the pace and relaxed mode. It would be better if the camera is positioned in such a way where it cannot be blocked by you when you reached in to work on it.
@@motorcyclemaintenancechann2131 my bike has been sitting out for a couple of years. Should I use water or any other solution to clear out where the oil goes before I fill it up?
@@ibraheem6079 maybe vacuum cleaner and soft brush to remove all dust around the openings? Then a wash with warm soapy water, then a rinse. Dry it with a cloth. Then you'll know it's not going to put grit into the engine etc. You'll have cleaned around the form seals, stanchions, and had a good look over the whole bike to see if anything's wrong.
Does overnight allow moisture to enter the engine? I'm guessing it might. Cold metal, some humidity in the air. I'm guessing it's probably best to close it up after the last drips. Honda allow 8,000 miles between changes of oil and 16,000 between filters, so probably the thin coat of oil on the metal surfaces of the engine and gearbox don't really matter. Although I wouldn't be surprised if there are a couple of people in the world who actually take the engine cover off and try to clean out all the old oil completely off the metal surfaces :-)
Hey there, been doing my Fireblade maintenance for years but still enjoyed your video...cheers from Australia..

Hey what exhaust did you got. I have just a fake slip on pipe from ebay never flash the system
I ran out of creamer for my coffee should I put oil on my coffee as a lubricant, so it’ll “ go down” easier
Wow I must have been high when I wrote this
Just a tip, drop the bike off the stands to allow all the oil to drop out, some people even leave it overnight!
That's a good tip!
