WYBDR To Overland Expo / Day 8 / Plus - How To Change Your CRF450L's Oil In A Parking Lot!

[@davidcharlton3710]

Dude your videos on this bike are the reason I own one and I'm completely over the top about it. My extended thank you to you for user knowledge that goes way past the BS everybody's spews on the forums!

[@JohnTYoung]

Thanks David!

...Well, I cycled across America, bivied and camped very successfully in a style like yourself, took a hostel when in a major centre (Salt Lake, Moab), and stopped with a friend in Great Falls MT for a week to recuperate. I took no motel or hotel, and I kept (for the most part) clean and healthy. It's all about technique with the kit and organisation to keep those 'avoidable' costs down.

[@JohnTYoung]

I'm still working on the organized part... Thanks for watching!

[@busasteve3871]

Wish I lived out that way I would do the same trip. I have done some of the mods you have done and really like that the Honda is reliable regardless of service intervals. I only have about 1k miles on mine at this point but I have 4 other bikes to ride as well. I am getting back in the dirt again that is long overdue and its been since I was in my teenage years and 20's I just hit 51. You have inspired me to get back into this type of riding, ty.

[@JohnTYoung]

Ok. But don’t blame me when you break your clavicle. 😎 Thanks for watching’

Great idea of the flex tube to drain the oil and the Flexi funnel! Good on the road oil changes.

[@JohnTYoung]

Quick and easy

[@markflaugh2293]

Love the gopro footage. Enjoy the trip and thanks for taking us along.

[@JohnTYoung]

Thanks for coming with w!

[@billyarsenault1970]

This vid should have been dedicated to all those who bought a different bike because of the “Insane” service intervals. It really is incredible how many trouble-free miles that dirt-bike gets.

[@JohnTYoung]

Great idea! Maybe for the 20,000 mile review.

[@SteveInskip]

Great series John. Looking forward to the next vid!

[@JohnTYoung]

Thanks Steve!

[@mikeisland7382]

The inconvenience of that 15 minute service saved the weight of carrying a passenger through the ugly stuff. Fair trade depending on where you ride IMO.

[@JohnTYoung]

Plus my bike weighs 200lbs less…. Thanks for watching!

[@DirtRiderLife]

Nice cameo appearance of Yogi LOL, Ali express delivered my silicone funnel just last week, thanks again John!

[@JohnTYoung]

They come in handy!

[@ebhkkc1]

Glad you washed 911. Quick question....what mirror do you have. I took mine off and need a recommendation for a lower profile one to keep street legal. Loyal Fan..God Speed and keep them coming

[@JohnTYoung]

@Doubletakemirrors are the best.

[@ebhkkc1]

@@JohnTYoung Thank you. will order now

[@andrewgerke9004]

I probably would have washed the bike too. Awesome series John. I really enjoyed it. Keep it up.

[@JohnTYoung]

I had to.

[@MrEtnorb]

All the uninformed CRF/EXC “daily” oil change critics should watch how little effort and time it took with your change. I change my 500 at 2500 km or thereabouts. Note how easily John laid his bike down for the service. All you twin owners take note.

[@JohnTYoung]

I wouldn’t wanna do that with my BMW. 😬

[@bmwlane8834]

I just did a 1800 mile 49 hour trip on my 450exc and no oil chnage...oil didn't look bad. I normally do it every 25 hours....but 50 hours is fine IMO. Love the channel.

[@tompava3923]

Hey John, thanks for the travel vids! How many miles have you been getting out of your chains/sprockets?

[@JohnTYoung]

10K or so as I recall.

[@tompava3923]

@@JohnTYoung Thanks! I just replaced the original on my '22 RL @ 5000 miles. It was getting a lot of side play in it and was approaching the rear of the adjustment. I've got the feeling I may have set it a little too tight once . . . We'll see how this next one stands up. ✌️😎

[@JohnTYoung]

Mine was shot at 3000 miles. You must be good at taking care of them.

[@paulkenyon8950]

A bigger foot for your kick stand?

[@JohnTYoung]

It seems to work fine as stock. If I need more I usually kick a rock under it.

[@mikepatrick4829]

That a authorized fuel container? 😂

[@JohnTYoung]

I authorized me to use it so… yes?

Aw. We can be internet buddies!
