The First Service and Oil Change | Honda CRF300LS

Brakkleen is great on skid plates w oil

Very nice work. Enjoy your bike. I have a Rally with 1800:miles. Very versatile and mobile bike.

Use a small squirt bottle with water and a healthy dose of Dawn dishwashing liquid to blast the skid plate area after the oil change then rinse with a hose. Works like a charm...no heavy chemicals needed.

Thanks for your efforts..! Yes basic stuff but so good to have it so clearly presented. The layout on the floor of tools and materials AND resources... is amazing. Great for beginning cycle owners and even the old guys (me) who need a crib sheet. I like the LS version and will probably buy one eventually (at least 10 Hondas to date). Lower seat & less standout colors appeal to me. Thanks! (Ps. Side note, replace your 'atmospheric' low efficiency gas tank style water heater with a higher efficiency unit, possibly instantaneous/tankless... or better yet, a heat pump water heater that's 'indirect solar' since it get's most of it's heat from the solar heated atmosphere and earth.. and some waste heat from the house... Let's save our world a bit longer with renewables and efficiency so we can keep riding those trails..!!!)

Greetings, As always another brilliant detailed video 🇺🇸🎉🍾🇺🇸 Keep producing more videos

Wow, thank you very much for this video, it’s exactly what I was looking for as I just put a down payment on a brand new Crf300L. And especially for listing all the extra items that you put on your bike, I never realized Amazon had so many great items for this bike. I watched a bunch of oil change videos and imo your’s is the best by far. Thanks again.👍👍

This was a great tutorial. Very well explained and shot. Good tips. Thank you.

Great video

Aluminum foil is a great idea! Thanks for the video!

thank you

Good choice sticking with the Honda oil. I have a 2005 Honda Rancher 350 4x4 ATV. It’s completely original with the exception of the starter and one CV Axel that just went last week. I use Honda oil and Gear fluids for the shafts and knock on wood it runs and sounds excellent.

Thank you. I only have 30 miles on my LS, I will probably change at around 4 to 500 miles.❤

Hi, when you did your oil change and you are checking the level, does the fact that the rear wheel is lifted off the ground make a difference? I know it's straight, but not sure if that makes a difference. As far as oil, i like honda gn4. I yse 10w40 as it has a wider range of temperature uses. I heard 10w30 was put in the owners manual for epa or fuel economy reasons.

Your leaves are changing John. I miss 4 seasons. Love those fall colors. Oil.....Why besides owners recommendations do we put 15w-50 in one bike, and 10w-30 in an almost duplicate bike. Some motorcycle manufacturers call for full synthetic but I've read in the comments that some individuals use regular ole motor oil. What gives!

Thanks for the maintenance vid! correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it recommended to adjust the clutch cable slack at the threaded collar/wheel adjuster under the rubber boot for minor adjustments and the one you turned is for large adjustments. Sorry for the question but I'm OCD ;)

Hey brother, thanks for the videos, they are very extensive. I was wondering, do you ever take your bike down to Phoenix/Scottsdale area? I really wanted to sit on one and compare it to the KLX 300ls and the sm. But no one has your bike down here. I would buy the klx, but none of their models have slipper clutches, which is concerning. What do you think? Does the clutch help you at all?

hi it would have been nice if u checked the oil for metal flakes.

Is this oil fully synthetic?

Great video! How do you like your paddock stand? Is it sturdy?

Where did you find the front crash bars pretty slick.
