Should have loosened the oil cap while draining oil to relieve crank case pressure. Wrench should be a 12mm not 1/2 inch. Only hand tighten oil filter.

[@moneymotorcycle5152]

Chris R good points! Thanks, the oil cap was unscrewed but failed to document in the video. And the filters gonna be a bitch to get off next time I guess but hey, posting these to share in and receive from the wealth of knowledge on here!

[@garyrivera895]

I think that the 1/2" that he's referring to is the size of the ratchet wrench not the socket.

[@motoryzen]

He said " half inch ..ratchet.." not the socket size @4:43. But it is good that you specified the correct size in mm because 1/2 = 12.7. That .7 is enough to be too loose a fit on the drain plug's head and thus a higher risk of rounding it off. I thumbs up'd your comment ftr. Cheers.

[@budlightyum]

Wheres the second oil change video at? I want to watch him get that filter off.

[@breahwright601]

Yes, 12mm, I learned the hard way

[@k1LLaak]

what am i doing right now....i dont even own this bike yet

[@mustbescud]

Same xD

[@betruly7894]

Same :)

[@buckyai]

i dont even have a full motobike license yet and im watching how many vids on this bike....who knows LOL. im thinking of joining a facebook forum on this bike haha

[@l.j.d.millar2822]

Kenny Le Neither do I. But it pays to research beforehand.

[@PrimeSuperboy]

how bout now

[@siemenscs]

hand tighten the oil filter.

[@billparker8954]

I love the sound of the birds while you are draining. You live in a nice place.

[@jacquesdeschenes6449]

Any oil filter should be hand tight only. Next oil change the filter will be very hard to remove. They have a tendency to stick even properly installed.

[@u238fist]

Jacques Deschênes I hope he did not totally pinched or ripped the rubber gasket.

[@2112Dancer]

Hi can you please do a chain tightening video?? Because i can't figure out what tool to use for the left side rear axle nut because its inward...i know i have to hold that while i tighten the right side. I already tightened the chain but can't tighten the axle nut now ...

[@lisademayo8589]

May i ask, how do you know when it's full? (the 2.9 qts)? Does it start to spill over the top of the hole?

[@samspade1418]

The oil pan screw should use a 12 mm socket, not a 1/2 in. As someone already said, hand tight on the filter is all you need. The Rebel 500 shares the same engine as the CB500 line and there are videos for maintenance on those bikes that may also help any owners of this bike.

[@tsmith235]

Sam Spade where are those videos you are referring to on maintenance are they on the Honda site or?

[@computern4me]

Where can I get these videos?

[@henrysanchez10]

Thank you for doing this!

[@midorihibiki]

I do not know this question has been asked or not but how much per year for the maintaining of this Honda CMX Rebel 500? I am considering this bike is my first motorbike. Thanks!

[@sleep9526]

Love the bike, im excited to join the cmx 500 family will be getting mine a couple of month. Really looking forward to it

[@user-fr6ry7ic5q]

Im surprised no one mentioned pre fill the oil filter it is messy being at 90° but is still good practice so the engine does run for 10 or so sec with little to no oil until the filter fills and the over tightening but im about to do an oil change on my gf's at 800 miles

[@jasonshortphd]

Thanks for the video, hard to do the recording while also doing the work! I put aluminum foil over my headers so that I don’t get any oil on them. And if you pull that little red tab on the drain pan it won’t burp while draining.

[@konstantinw.1036]

How much oil u get in? I See nothing on the oil Screen. I put 2 liter oil after Red Light oild Candel pops up

[@southernfriedcircuits]

what size socket wrench are you using on the filter?

[@dalton680]

I have the same bike look forward to the videos

[@jboy2621]

The silver model looks really nice.

[@sisterspot111]

How long do you run it for and let it cool before beginning

[@lorito555]

Hello, did you make him the whole bottle of oil?

[@davidsauceda1783]

thank you for this great video!!!

[@Darkhearts]

Dumb question but did the drain plug have a washer? I don't remember seeing one but found one in my driveway where I was doing the work. I talked to my father-in-law and he said if the oil doesn't start dripping out then it wasn't a 'sealing washer' or w/e he called it.

[@JacekDuda]

Yes there is a washer

[@sophiebazgier9596]

LOVE THAT BIKE

[@richard3lee]

Too much pressure applied fitting the new oil filter?

[@papawjuansunday4964]

Sir after first 500 change oil, when is the next change oil???

[@GaZBr]

Hey! Is it really necessary to warm up before removing the old oil? I understand that it makes the oil thinner, but you'll have to deal with hot motor parts, difficulting the access to the bolt and having the risk to seriously burn yourself.

[@ericforeman3800]

Maybe it was major cold where he is

[@ericforeman3800]

Nice 10 cents tho

[@checklistbeach]

Thanks for the help. You rock

[@marksoraiz5012]

I am in love with this bike.

[@Exemex.0]

Super helpful ty!!

[@petadang]

So you do not need to have the bike on a stand?

[@DLM2030]

Amazing bike bud

[@TheSolidSamir]

Nice, looking forward to more videos

[@moneymotorcycle5152]

Thanks! Getting everything ready to start doing some more very soon.

[@betruly7894]

Did have anyone already mentioned that the oil filter should be hand tight?

[@dalton680]

Where's the uploads?

[@rooftopshootaz8927]

Make a review on the bike

[@MsNitro187]

The oil filter is turned back by hand no need with a wrench

[@marcocastaneda3843]

Nice video

[@collinhan399]

Do I need new sealing washer or the old one should be okay?

[@BaoBao-yu5bu]

Hi Colin Han. Yes you must use a new sealing washer. The old one has been crushed at the previous oil service and is no more able to prevent any leakage. There are 2 types of washer: aluminum and copper. In my opinion the best is copper. Copper is more malleable than aluminum and this allows to obtain a perfect joint without being obliged to tighten very hard. The housing of the engine is aluminum and the thread prefers gentle tightening. Please, excuse my English, it's not my native language...

[@frederickmorgan9867]

exhausto deleto cuz!

[@joshualeboeuf2926]

What exactly is the color of that bike? Is it the metallic gray or metallic silver? Looks great either way, just wonder what the color is

[@ericforeman3800]

Depends if your foreign .

[@ericforeman3800]

It’s grey if your Romanian

[@u238fist]

Oil filters are hand tight only. If the filter is over torqued by your technique the rubber gasket will get pinched, rip or deformed and you have metal to metal contact between the oil filter and the oil filter surface of the engine.

[@motoryzen]

Adding to your point, no only could those things happen, overtightening the oil filter could cause a hole in the gasket,..thus an oil leak from there.

[@hoppy857h5]

I don't even know why I'm watching this 😂 But some tips from a mechanics point if view. Oil cap off and then sump plug out, drains better. Also before you put the oil sump plug back in just pour some clean oil in so the crap gets flushed out ☺ Well you've over tightened the filter. They are only supposed to go on hand tight 😂

[@TheMrchico35]

Does your bike have a clutch indicator

[@moneymotorcycle5152]

Chico Rosario No, it does not. I've seen some aftermarket indicators that could be installed though.

[@anemoia2661]

Hey man, so far how are you liking the 500?

[@moneymotorcycle5152]

reece callow so far I'm loving it! I ride a lot on a two lane freeway with lots of commuter traffic and with lane splitting legal in CA it's made my drive so much more enjoyable! Such a fun and easy bike to ride.

[@rohinhans7819]

Just say, you don't need to tighten the oil filter so much. A bit over hand tight is good

[@sirsyco1570]

how does the bike handle at freeway speeds

[@MadMexism]

my 500 rebel aint no slouch on the highway. She gets up, and goes.

[@DLM2030]

How do u feel about the 300

[@Dlust88]

1/2” on a metric bike, ouch, oil filter on with ratchet. Lol dang.

[@russmode]

Great little bikes, styling...my.2 bikes are...2005 HD Road king...and 2018 Rebel 300...hah, no kidding!

[@jameswoods6900]

I don't know if you waited but you should not replace the oil and filter for at least 1 hour!

[@Lipan_Motovlog]

Hey.. no more new video update? From malaysian rebel friend subsriber... 😎

[@SalvaGian47]

Where did u get the manual??

[@moneymotorcycle5152]

Gian mine came with the bike. It was located under the seat - if it's not there you may need to contact the dealership to have them order one.

[@SalvaGian47]

Money Motorcycle under the seat? i looked there...

[@moneymotorcycle5152]

Hmm yeah mine was in a plastic bag when I took off the seat and flipped it over. I know the technicians use the manual when prepping the bike so they may have forgotten to put it back? I'd contact the dealership, they should have provided you with the owner's manual upon purchase.

[@camilorendon867]

How many quarter the oil needed?

[@MadMexism]

How many quarts in total sir?

[@BaoBao-yu5bu]

Hi Rene Pena. The user manual recommends 2,7 L for oil service WITH filter replacement. But these 2,7 L don't allow to reach the maxi level, just the lower one on the dipstick (small round window). In order to get the right oil quantity and to reach the upper level you must fill with 2,9 L, that's to say about 3 quarts. Please, excuse my English, it's not my native language...

[@smurffart]

2.9 quarts with oil filter change cdn.powersports.honda.com/documentum/MWOM/ml.remawmom.2017_31mkga00_cmx500.pdf

[@andrewleach9159]

What about service history.

[@nikitamorey2304]

it only has a 1 year warranty lol

[@Sammydx1]

You forgot to tighten that oil filter

[@sandro123429]

Only 500 miles and oil change showed ? That's pretty quick

[@dylandavis6694]

Sandro when you purchase a new motorcycle, there's a break in period. During that period, metal flakes from the engine, etc, accumulate in your oil. It's recommended to do a oil change usually around 600miles, so that you can flush all that bad stuff out. Afterwards, you change the oil again in another 2,400 miles, and then every 3-4K miles afterwards.

[@papapudding]

Sure Honda says you have to do a first oil change at 600 miles but I wonder if it is really necessary, that oil was as clear as new.

[@merlineric]

The break in oil change is the most important oil change you do on your bike. Your cleaning out metal particles from the break in.

[@craigtull2361]

IALOL guy does not even know which way to turn a filter "righty tighty lefty loosy" 1/2" socket?? WTF??

[@user-xw9jx6wm8i]

Idiot Öl Ablass Schraube gibt es auch

[@doctorglock40cal.goldensab52]

IM BITTING MY TEETH MAN YOU SUPPOSE TO MEASURE OLD OIL AND THEN APPLY CORRECTLY NOT FROM A 5GAL JUGG LOL

[@paulselimovic3840]

You should leave it to people that know what they are doing. You sir haven't a clue.

[@samfadlallah5206]

Do you have to replace the Sealing Washer (around the drain bolt) with a new one like the manual recommends?

[@nigeljoiner]

You should yes, for 1$ it's good practice.
