- The manual suggests doing an oil change at 621 miles. It didn’t happen for me due to my work commute and my schedule. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it.

Honda manual Page 85 number 5 do not screw dipstick down when checking oil level. I wonder how many times people have messaged you about that? 😅🤣😂 good luck 👍
Good day to you.
I am a Honda Cross Cub Grandpa from Japan.
It is a nice Super Cub cool video!!
Thank you so much for sharing.
Have a nice day!!
such a beauty. I had the 2020 in blue/red and loved it. But now my commute is not suitable anymore for that lovely 125cc
Very nice video and beautiful bike, hope to see some pov ride. Safe riding a greetings from Czech Republic.
9.39, your dog literally looking out for you, super cute.
I have the same bike. Please keep the videos coming. I’m trying to get the valve settings for the tappets..
Only let the dipstick sit in the hole. Don’t screw down to check the level.
Drain bolt is 24NM. Cheers.
Correct.
I was about to comment on the dipstick but you got it. Always been that way since the original model in 1958.
Yeah, lesson learned. Wink. I fixed it.
Oil level should be at the very top of the crosshatch.
Really appreciate this as i am a total noob to maintainence.
Great job. Had a chance to compare directly with the original C90?
That doggie was so cute and Ty for the tutorial lol I don’t even have the license lmao 🤣
In the 2022 version in Italy there is a new air-cooled engine ... I can't wait to buy it ... without oil change problems it will be much more comfortable ... plus they made the 125 version with two seats. Strange that you still have the old engine in the 2022 version ...
I'm saving up for one of those bad boys myself 👍 will be traveling with it...
My plan too 🙂
nice and peaceful video
I love the colours of this bike. I used to own a little 50cc Cub back in the day...in green and white lols- we used to call them "nifty fifties" 🤣. I'm thinking of buying either this 125cc cub or the Honda CT125 Trail hunter cub (assuming Honda now finally bring it to Europe with the new recently announced cleaner emissions engine for 2023)...any advice anyone?
Great video
So I have not bought this motorcycle yet but I definitely plan to next year so I’ve never had one and I never maintain one. But I do maintain my own cars so I would’ve absolutely consulted the manual, but I was not aware that the oil needs to be changed this frequently. I will definitely keep that in mind Now does the oil oil the engine and is it also used for the transmission in the super cup if that is the case that would be convenient because I was wondering about changing out the transmission fluid in it and how often that needs to be done because I am all about maintaining my vehicles But if nothing else when I actually get one, I will definitely consult the whole manual for sure but thank you for showing me how to change the oil that looks pretty simple. I’m gonna have to find out how often the oil filter needs to be changed and how to do that I imagine it that probably would not have to be changed every 600 miles but we shall see
Nice bike
On your model you should change the oil filter too
I will. Just not yet. I’ll do it when Honda says it’s due. I’ve got a little while yet. I appreciate you checking out the video
Sorry I should of watched the video through I noticed you mentioned the oil filter a few times
What windshield are you using? Thanks
For the U.S. they really need a Super Cub 250. Of course, prices go up and really gets
Yep... some day Honda will make it😂😂😂
To check the oil level, just place the rod on it and do not screw it in
Yeah, I had misread it and it's been solved. I promise. lol
You do not screw the oil dipstick in to check the oil. Bad info.
Well thanks for that
winky is correct
well said
This is going to be my first bike, do you know how the new motor compares to the old one? Top speed or fuel economy differences?
Boosted fuel economy and a better top end speed. Just remember though, the faster you go the less fuel efficient you are. I’m hitting about 120mpg when I run around 50-55mph.
Where did you get your wind screen, and what brand did you get?
I got the Puig Traffic in smoke color. I bought it off of Revzilla
Show the oil filter change too 😅😅😅
Are you supposed to screw it in to check the oil level? not so sure about that
no he isn't.
It’s more beneficial to change the oil filter along with the oil change. In fact, you cam change the oil filter at the recommended oil change & the oil every other time. The contaminants are in the oil filter& not so much in the oil.
Thanks a lot. I’m just filling the manufacturer specs. I was just trying to keep it to their schedule and preferences. After all, I’m riding their design.
Captain Obvious here, there is no oil filter on this bike
@@mrtoymeister there is on a 2022 model.
I change my oil every 1000 miles. There is no oil filter, it's an air cooled engine, and it holds almost no oil even when it shows full.
Normalmente en los scooters el nivel de aceite se comprueba sin enroscar la varilla de control, solo introduciéndola. No vaya a ser que tenga menos aceite de lo debido.
Es verdad
Any thoughts on magnetic drain plug?
Well worth it IMO, especially for bikes with a strainer rather than a filter.
The manual on my Vario 125 suggests an oil change every 2485 miles
Did I miss something or did you forget the oils filter right by the rear brake
No, it’s not time to do my oil filter yet. I wasn’t aware that you shouldn’t screw the cap all the way in, trust me.. I’ve been told about 1000 times. The funny part is, I’m an industrial engineer and all industrial equipment specifically says to bottom out the dip/cap. 🤷♂️ my oil level came out just where I need it and it’s been running smooth. I’ve since but about 900 more miles on its and it’s been a blast.
Oil change but no oil filter never heard of that. That’s the most important part of the oil change and break in. I am a diesel mechanic. Plus I race motorcycles professionally. I guess it don’t matter by now 😂😂😂😂😂😂. I just did my first oil change today. Peppy little scooter. Have fun buddy
Doesn't that bike have an oil level sight glass located below the oil filler hole?
Nope, the 22 model does not. I made a mistake checking the oil by screwing the dip stick all the way in. So.. just place the dipstick in to check the level don't screw it in.
How much does it cost, where and how order one please?
not available in Canada
Hey, does anyone know where I can order or get that plastic dip stick? My cub did not come with that. It only has a screw on cab.
Perhaps you check your oil level by looking at the sight glass located directly below the oil filler hole...(That's probably why you don't have dipstick... See Your Owner's Manual for Changing & Refilling for info on Oil Level - Sight Glass Check...It should tell You what You need to Know...)
@@timmit3579 are correct I have since found that out and I prefer the site class to the oil dipstick as long as your bike is on level surface. It’s really easy to see but the I believe the manual does mention it, but the service manuals is even better
You shouldn’t screw the dipstick down to check oil level. Read the hand book
Yeah, I know that now. Lol. It’s okay it turned out to be the perfect level.
@@midwestmotovlog7968 glad to here 👍
Would like key!
This machine does have an oil filter, however it's not what you think. Shout out to Not What You Think. Anywayyyys. It has a centrifugal oil filter located in the clutch assembly on the right side of the bike. Maintenance is required on this every 8,000 miles. Don't panic because replacing this filter is not difficult. Just lay the bike down its left side on something soft and have at it. I'm sure there's a video tutorial on UA-cam by now. As for the required oil. Any 10w30 that does not have friction modifiers in it will do. The owners manual tells you how to identify oil with friction modifiers and oil with out. So does Google by the way. Motorcycles use a wet clutch. This cub 125 does have a clutch. It is disengaged by the gear selector every time you change gears. DO NOT USE OIL WITH FRICTION MODIFIERS. IT WILL RUIN THE CLUTCH QUICKLY. On a side note of oil in general. If you go to any store that sells oil you'll see the different oil types for sure, but pay attention to 10W40. Alot of companies who produce oil for gasoline/petrol engines left 10W40 for motorcycles. You'll see that most 10W40 does not have friction modifiers. During the warmer season where most people prefer to ride 10W40 will not harm your engine at all. So hey look into it and save some money.
This is a 2022 model with J58 engine. The little scree inside the clutch cover is just an oil screen that needs to be cleaned at 8,000 miles. The Oil filter is in the 5 o clock position on the right side clutch cover. It's a little 1 inch circle. There is an oil filter in it which should be changed with the oil
Change filter too?
It doesn't have a filter
Upload a new vid please
Not a fan of that color. Seems like it is impossible to buy anything but a flat black motorcycle or scooter anymore. I have a 2021 model in red and white. I still cannot get it to shift smoothly. I which they had used real clutches on these. I doubt anyone will be delivering noodles on them.
Can i use MA2 in mi cub ?
I would not recommend it
Thx for reply just bought som m.a just not as common to get hold off
Review the video, as it looks like the dog may have drank some oil.
I saw that when I edited the video. He was licking the condensation out of the other side. I had washed the jug before we started and just cut it before brining it outside, there was moisture still in the container top. Good looking out though. I appreciate you watching the video. Have a great day!
@@midwestmotovlog7968 The dipstick does not get screwed right down to check oil. Read your owner's manual. You also don't use a star wrench on a sump bolt. You use a hex sided bolt socket. You know nothing.
Any new engine, from any manufacturer, has metal surfaces that wear and seat themselves. Piston rings and cylinders primarily, but bearings and valve train components too. The very first time the engine is started is when most of the wear takes place. Gradually over time the metal to metal wear slows way down and following the recommended oil change intervals should be followed. However, 500 miles for the first oil change on a small engine is damn near irresponsible, especially extending the oil filter usage. That oil filter is loaded with metal dust and shavings. You’re filtering clean oil with the most contaminated filter you’ll ever have inside your engine.
I’m an old fart and have been a mechanic since I was a kid. I have a new CT125 Trail with only about 20 miles on it. When it hits 50 miles, I’m dumping the oil and filter. When it hits 500 then I’ll begin to follow Honda’s maintenance chart, but I’ll always put a fresh filter on it.
The number one thing you could ever do for any motor to maximize its lifespan is to change the oil and filter.
The very first factory time the engine is started does NOT when most of the wear takes place. Nor is it when running in first 250-500 miles. This is total nonsense. And NO the oil filter is NOT LOADED with metal "dust" or shavings. The first fill is also a run in oil like Toyota fill their new cars with and must NOT be changed until manufacturer owners manual stipulates.
@@theaustralianconundrum You don’t have a clue about the internals of an engine to say that.
That crap they put in your new Toyota is for the mass ignorant public to maintain some level of control over the break in of the brand new engine.
The first mileage ALWAYS wears the surfaces the most. Not maybe, not sometimes, ALWAYS. it’s fresh unseated metal parts rubbing against other metal parts. After about 1000 miles or so, everything is comfortably seated. The new engine will consume oil during the first 1000 miles or so while the rings fully seat themselves.
They seat themselves by metal to metal wearing down to take the same shape as the cylinders and the cylinder hone polishing down.
I’ve worked on motorcycle engines, car engines and drag race car engines. I’ve seen the inside of plenty of brand new spanking engines and the oldest filthiest crusted engines as well.
My advice is correct. It’s your engine though not mine.
No Honda race engine builder would follow the same advice that’s in the manual for a stock bike. There is minor differences between race and stock. It’s the same surfaces wearing on both.
@@herbiesnerd it’s fresh unseated metal parts rubbing against other metal parts. Luckily they include oil. Metal parts never come into physical contact with each other. They are always separated by the thinnest film of oil.
The new engine will consume oil during the first 1000 miles or so while the rings fully seat themselves.
No they do not. I have purchased new cars and bikes and not a single one used a drop in the first 5,000 miles let alone a mere 1,000 miles.
That crap they put in your new Toyota is for the mass ignorant public to maintain some level of control over the break in of the brand new engine.
Toyota supply new engines with additives and it is "designed" to be left in there for the first 16,000 KM's. Changing earlier will void your warranty in Australia.
Du Hast mich nicht mitgenommen, Wau
Funny calling a 125cc bike a bad boy. Drag Honda won’t bring the Super Cub to Canada 🇨🇦.
This "bad boy" is at 6600 miles now. I got 12 months of riding out of it this year.
That doggie was so cute and Ty for the tutorial lol I don’t even have the license lmao 🤣
I really appreciate your comment. Have a good one.
