If you have a centerstand, do not start the oil drain process on the centerstand. The pan you are draining it into may not catch the first big spurt of oil that comes out. The pan needs to be further back than the stand allows. Start draining on the side stand. Towards the end of draining, put the bike on the centerstand. Definitely drains more oil that way. Also makes it easier to check the oil level when refilling. The tin foil is is a good tip when removing the filter to protect the exhaust header from getting soaked in oil. Easy peasy oil changes on this bike. Even a non-mechanical type person can do it.
Hey thanks for the tip. Next oil change coming up soon.
Thanks, nice video. Used engine oil contains carcinogens so it's best to wear rubber gloves when changing it. Also, on the initial startup, your oil pressure will come up faster if you have already filled the oil filter prior to installation. Done quickly and carefully, you'll spill little if any oil when reinstalling the filter.
Fitting a centre stand makes maintenance much easier--thanks for sharing your 1st service.
That was the very important information about oil level after changing oil. Thanks 👍🏻
I've done a good couple hundred oil changes on 4 wheeled vehicles, so it isn't scary to do this. But this popped up on my youtube suggested so I figured 15 minutes on a video could be well spent. I'm about 200 miles off my service. Good tips on the foil and the crush washer. I'm excited to service my bike!
Thank you very much for posting this . I used this for my first oil change on my cb500x.
What a bloody great video. Very helpful and confidence inspiring. Cheers mate!
(Hopefully this is not a repeated comment, but I think youtube did not allow me to post a link..) Great video, thanks. I especially liked your tip about using foil to direct the oil flow from the removed oil filter! That worked so well. I have a tip of my own for you or anyone interested. I have a 3/8 in drive electronic torque wrench and wanted to use it for the oil filter as well as the drain bolt. I got an "EWK" oil filter wrench from Amazon (3/8 in drive, 64-65mm, 14 flutes) for about $13 that was a perfect fit and made that job a breeze. Particularly for someone like myself who's older, my hand strength isn't what it once was and I wouldn't trust myself to twist the filter on tight enough by hand. Now I know it's torqued properly, as is my drain bolt. Also, I have the Honda service manual for the '22 500X, and the specified torque value for the oil filter is 19 lb-ft, and for the oil drain bolt it's 22 lb-ft. And as you suggested, I used a new crush washer for the oil drain bolt. It would be silly not to, as it was only a $1 part. Again, thanks for a great video!
Covid19 allowing, I am awaiting delivery of my brand new CB500x, in white. This informative and easy to follow video will serve to install my own belief and confidence to undertake the required work on this first service, depending on Honda European regulations! Good stuff, thanks.
Cool deal. Congrats on your new bike.
Really good maintenance and review of overall safety checks. Thank you from Maryland!
No prob man! Thanks!
Thanks for pointing out the bolts!
Nice one i have the same bike in white (2019) the first oil change i took it to the shop but now on 3000 miles UK i will do it myself, it's an easy job as i have had bikes for 45 years.
Enjoy your bike and it's a bike that will do all you want. Ride safe mate.
Thank You!
Excellent diy video. Thank you!
Yeah, I do all my own maintenance on my 2014 CB500X. I also use the prescribed Honda oil, 10W30, and Honda filter. I installed a centerstand and it makes the job a lot easier. I buy the gallon (4l) bottle just keep some extra around in case I need to top off. That only occurred once after a long highway ride.
Nice! Can’t wait to get a center stand.
Great video, well presented and produced. Good information.
Great tutorial and the tinfoil was genius!
Great video! Bought my brand new bike yesterday. I live in Norway, Europe, so I'll have to check the warranty over here... Thanks for this video!✌🏻
Thank you. Congrats on the new ride!
First service will put your bike in system and makes it easier to get service if your on a trip and something goes wrong. Also I fill up the filter before installing it safer. It has a one way valve in filter so it wont leak.
Thanks, I needed that
Nice video 👍 going through the basic tasks. The oil drained easily on the X, but when doing the job myself I always removed the oil filler cap prior to draining the oil it might help air enter the engine as the oil drains away... All the best 😉
Thank you. Good tip!
Thanks. Really good. I must admit I let the techs do it at my local dealer, besides there is the warranty issue in the U.K. but it’s really good to see this and I like the way you present it, multi-tasking and all.
Pete Sudhana I do believe your ok to perform all your own maintenance. The dealer will try and tell you that you can’t, but the manufacturer says you can.
I agree about the warranty issue and dealership service tie in. This is a good reference for post warranty period for us UK riders
Yeah the first service has to be done by a dealer within 10% of the stated mileage for warranty periods. And it involves more than an oil change. Mostly tightnening up some bolts and checking valve clearances which is important for a newly run in motorcycle.
Nice video. My 2023 came with synthetic oil. Guess Honda changed their process.
Merci beaucoup l'Ami !
I liked watching your oil change maintenance, instructive. Not judging but it's always been a procedure for me to pre-fill the new oil filter before installation. This may take several pours as the filter media absorbs the oil, and I don't fill it to excess so it's running out as I install it. Otherwise, thanks again for a clear and concise tutorial.
You are correct.
@@ibnewton8951 Not much point in pre filling a horizontal oil filter due to spillage when fitting, I totally agree pre filling vertical oil filters though.
I never replace crush washer owning the nc700 for five years no oil leak. But is a good habit to get one just in case, good tip for aluminum foil, thanks for the video.
Sure thing. Im just trying to do it 100% right. Technically this isn't a crush washer, but the old one was a lil deformed. Its only a buck so what the hell:) Some bikes, (like my CBR) have true crush washers that really need to be replaced every oil change.
Where do I get one
@@emprrah From the dealer.
I only use synthetic oil in everything. It's BETTER in EVERY way (except cost but cheaper than a repair).
I hook a bungee cord on the funnel & across the bike so it's pretty much straight up & down - no more "oh shit!" spills :D
I’m really enjoying your videos during the lockdown! I’m ready for the 600 mile service. I noticed how tight your bolt was; I only have a 12mm socket. Do you think I would need a wrench? Also curious as to why you didn’t put bar weights on with the Barkbusters? Thanks much, and stay safe! -Jackson
You should be fine using a socket. My hand guards didn't come with weights and I really didn't notice a difference. The only buzz or vibes I get on this bike are in the footpegs at 63 mph. Other than that, its solid.
thanks man
Helps to fill the oil filter with oil before installation.
You do a great job on your tutorials, as good as any I have watched on CZcams(and I have watched quite a few). I just noticed that your bike came with the same trailmax tires that my 2018 750x came with. Bridgestone doesn't offer them on their motorcycle tire website. The new Trail Max is a much more aggressive 60/40 road/dirt tire. Most of my miles will be on the road with occasional off road forays. I will be interested to know what you will put on next. Also will you leave the front tire and put something similar on the rear, since the rear will wear faster. Or will you get a match set and take the loss on the front since it will still have good tread life left when the rear is done.
Thank You! Good questions and honestly I haven't thought that far ahead yet. I have noticed the new design and they look good. I kind of like these tires as they handle the rain really good. I most likely will get a more aggressive tire, but not 100% sure yet. I usually change both the front and rear if they do not match. However I have seen some adventure setups purposely running different tires to put more traction, off road, up front.
Suggestion. Open the oil fill cap when draining oil.
Those of you watching this video, don't put GN4 again into your Honda's. It's an old petroleum, factory fill oil for the break-in. It overheats and breaks down so easily. You'll misshift or get gear popout. It happened on both my CB500F and 600RR until I swapped the oil out. Use a minimum of HP4S or a higher brand like Belray, Maxxima, or Amsoil.
Interesting. Do you have any literature on this? I have no issues after 6.5k miles and I ride the shit out of this bike. I used the same oil in my cbr600rr too.
Think 2 2/3 quarts(2600ml) for e 2019 model after oil filter change
I don’t even have the bike yet but sure i know how to change the oil, where to camp safe in Oregon, what type of mod I need in case the peg is too high.
Honda should introduce premium model for 2020 with hand guards/engine guards/radiator guards/skid plate/centre stand
That would be cool!
20W 50 if you’re riding in hotter climate to add a bit more protection to the engine during those heat days. Oil at that viscosity stays thicker at higher temp and protects the clutch also, Valvoline 20W50 motorcycle oil would recommend over 10W40 does a lot more protection
And yes, it's OK to mix 20W50 with 10W40 or 10W30/
or jusr service youirself i mean your bfocused dude right freaking on.thank u for a good video
Thanks
Nova Espit no prob
Hello
Thank you for your recommendation on my question asked about tires. I really appreciate that.
I have question regarding Engine oil. Can i use 10W-40 full synthetic (Mobil 1 4T or Castrol power 1 4T or Castrol Edge 10W-40 4T on 2013 CB500X.
Thank you
Vilkesh Patel I would stick with the manufacturer’s recommendation of 10-30. Using a higher weight could reduce fuel mileage. I always use Honda non synthetic in my Honda bikes. It’s cheap and used by the manufacturer. As far as Mobil or Castrol goes, you have to look out for additives, like friction reducers. Additives designed for auto use can destroy your clutch. I can’t remember the specs off the top of my head for the oil, but it’s in your owner’s manual.
And!,;). I think I’m going with the Dunlop Trail Max Mission tire. But I still need to wear out the stock set first;)
I hope you do a video of how to change the spark plugs.
Nightmare 😮
Nice tutorial. Im appreciated. Iluv dis bike but wait the time come will buy. Wanna ask u 1 question. How to dispose the old engine oil if during touring time. Do u hv any idea. I mean dispose in correct way. Hope we can share the info among us. Thanks alot ur toturial.
Maybe you could put it in a milk jug and then take it to the auto parts store.
i just checked the manual for my 2015 cb 500f here in the UK, so same engine, and it states service should be carried out by the dealer.Cant see anything so far in the book like you have. Strange the difference in other countries. Also, the the maintenance schedule says service intervals are every 8000, not 4000 like yours. Wonder why given it is more or less the same bike.
pre oiling the filter makes it much faster to get oil to the top end on a dry start up
Yes. It is a bit hard though with a horizontal mounted filter.
@@OregonMotorcycle i do it easily on my 500x just fill the filter 2-3 times, let it soak in and install it
To pre-oil a horizontal filter, I fill the filter to about 40% of its capacity and then hold it
horizontal for 5-10 seconds to let the oil seep through the filter material to stabilize
the oil level horizontally in the filter. Then I spin the filter onto the engine. No oil spills
out, and the time spent with no oil pressure during the 1st start-up is minimized.
i just picked up a 2021 500x last week! did you ever install the factory aux light switch? i just ordered one for a CRF1000L because i was told it was the same part number. i can do a lot with wiring, i was just curious what kinds of things youve done with yours in the last year and a half.
You just gotta go through some of my vids. Heated grips and lights. Crash bars.
Nice video, I'll use it as tutorial for my CB500X! Don't you trust your torque wrench? ;) I'm halfway between my 1000 and 6400km maintenance and checked my chain swag, it was still at 1-3/8"... at what milleage did you readjust yours? May depend on how I ride too...
Ha ha, not on lighter torques. I adjusted it around 500 miles and then again around 2k.
Get a center stand. I t really makes maintenance so much easier and the bike is always leveled so easier for oil changes. And you dont lose that much clearance
I actually have a center stand. It’s easier to change the oil not using the center stand on this bike.
@@OregonMotorcycle thats good To know mate. Really like your channel
Jake's Adventure Canada thanks! Ya the way the drain is angled. It will shoot oil on to the center stand.
Good call using the tin foil. I'll be doing that too from now on!
C1TRU5 thank you. That worked pretty good.
Ditto. Never saw that done before and it would have saved many a mess. That's going into my folder for sure. That's why I watch these videos
hey guys, i'm waiting on the 2022 cb500x. Has anybody heard anything about the 2022 models in the US?
How about the radiator coolant fluid level? I find it quite difficult to see the current level! I don't know about you but I believe that Honda is quite mental to put the indicator there! That and the fog lights button as well!
I’ve checked it once.
Does this video apply to a 2021 cb500x ? Also I couldn’t find in the manual what is the oil filter for 2021 cb500x
Yes. I buy my filters at the dealership.
jenoowine?
Lucky you. Here in the UK 🇬🇧 it will void the warranty if we do our own servicing.
No it won’t. Read your owner’s manual. That’s what the dealership wants you to believe.
You definitely need to add oil after starting the bike because your empty oil filter needs to fill up
depends. if the Manuel says its 1500ml then that's what you should put in.
@@mrpantur7280 indeed, also, you can pre-fill the filter before screwing it in
How many ml you use?Im using Liqui Moly fully synthetic 10W40 for my 2019 CB400X 2600ml...Heard the spark plugs replacement is quite tedious
2,750 ml I believe.
Always wash bike before service.
Hi, where did you buy the oil change kit? Thanks
I got everything at the dealership.
Do they need a valve clearence check at first service too.?
Nope.
what is the filter number. thanks.
15410-MFJ-D01 is what’s on my receipt.
are those the honda heated grips? or aftermarket ones ?
Aftermarket. They cost 17 bucks on amazon. I had the same ones on my last bike and they work great.
Oregon Motorcycle wow those are cheap, I was looking for the Oxford ones, but the ones you have are way cheaper, can you share the link of the product please ?
Have a good day !

Should it not require valve clearance checking also
Nope
@@OregonMotorcycle Gee, I'm glad, cause my local Honda dealer gave me a quote for service including valve adjustment for £450, Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. This will need done at 16000 Miles
@@a1pestservice I’m over 20k and the bike still doesn’t need it
Hi from Croatia..Today just did a first service interval at 1000km on my 2019 model..After I got home I realized that they put motul 5100 ester 4T 15w50 oil instead OEM honda 10w30, should I be concerned ? Im freaking out a little, Please help thank you
Yes I would be concerned. There is absolutely no reason to run 50w in this bike. The manufacturer recommends 10-30w and that’s what you should have in it.
@@OregonMotorcycle Thank you for response it means world to me..I will speak to honda guy in dealership and ask them to change oil again hopefully to oem one ..They also put non oem oil filter which is made in France. I hate this scenario especially from official honda dealership
Just received a call from a main mechanic in Honda service...Reason for Motul 15w50 oil instead of oem 10w30 oil is because of the climate where we live, especially in hot conditions during the summer and city driving across Europe this oil excels over the OEM one. They can change oil back to 10w30 if I want oem one badly , but according to him and many others Honda mechanics across the Europe coz they have annual specialized meetings in Frankfurt Germany for further development, 15w50 is better choice across many Honda motorcycles. He said it's not his personal choice to put motul 15w50 instead of the oem ( hey let's put different oil for fun) but again also a Honda recommendation based on bike chassis numbers and location's, example guys in Norway or Russia run on thinner oil because of climate.
Sounds like their pulling your chain. Just remember dealers are there to make money, not help you. If you were in a “hot” climate you might go up a lil, but not that high. I mean how hot is hot? ;). It’ll be up to 100 degrees here in a few short months... I’ll be down south where it could go over 100 and my oil will still be adequate. I think they had the oil or have a surplus of it and that’s the reason it’s in your bike. These bike were designed in Japan, not Germany. You would think Germany would be a colder climate... Anyway I always stick with OEM recommendations, not the shop monkeys ideas. If you do run this oil I’d be curious if it affects your fuel mileage.
@@OregonMotorcycle I agree with you on everything you said, after all there's a bunch of testing done inside factory to make decisions for what kind of oil to put inside vast variety of vehicles, and then one backyard mechanics proves them all wrong with different oil and his opinion..Im not saying this chief mechanic is this kind of guy coz he a chief of Honda for over 15 years with good reputation over here, but man cmon atleast tell me in advance why this and why that so I can sleep well..Anyway I will run this oil until mine next interval which is 6k, and because summer is slowly coming so let it be with this summer oil thickness for know, but on mine next interval I want 10w30..I will let you know how bike behave and all that good stuf either here on instagram, btw im the same guy who suggested prices comparison for fun on 1.service recently, so if you see username Geo_Okami that's me🙂Thank you buddy for all the help, you are blessing for noobs like me who just started moto life🙏
Can you use a flat washer?
I would just get the the OEM washer from the dealer to be on the safe side.
I just got one from the dealership and it was only 60 cent
in uk as long as you go to a VAT authorized mechanic it's fine and much cheaper than the bozos at honda charge
That oil looked brand new. You could easily do 1-1500 miles before first break in oil change
Measure your old oil and put that much of the new oil in
My bike instructor was quite adament that you change the oil cold, so it's not splattered all over the interior of the engine
No one change’s their engine oil cold.
what if you whana sell you'r bike one day, the buyer will ask for the maintenance record and you ave anny you just ave you'r word. even if you look nice i whon't buy a bike whitt no maintenance record you should at least keep all the recipes from the filters and oil and anything else as prove of good maintenance. also to cheq for leaks put a big cardboard under the bike you will notice the slightest leak easily, good vid man drive safe.
I keep a log of maintenance and keep the receipts. If there’s any doubt they can watch my videos 😂. Honestly I don’t care and neither will the buyer. I’ll have this bike for a while and when I sell it for couple of grand, maintenance records won’t matter.
Think manual says 2.9qts w/filter
Something like that;)
@@OregonMotorcycle love how you love your 500X. I think my '17 is pretty sweet too
2.9qts for 2018 below model..2019 is 2.8qts
There has to be more on that 600 mile checklist than an oil change.....
Nope.
Used to be a valve adjustment check..... I wonder what changed?
@@OregonMotorcycle valve clearance inspection
"Somebody in Europe" is compleeeeeeetely wrong. Home maintenance on a motorcycle retains the warranty here, just like in the US. I just keep receipts for oil, filters etc stapled into the service book...
Good info. Ya it’s hard to convince people of this sometimes. Even after telling them what page it states it on the manual.
2600ml?
Hmm. Maybe closer to 2750. You’ll be able to see the level in the window.
Those bolts get loose nd fall only on Harleys 🤣
Ha ha 😂🤣
not allowed in europe btw just checked
Never poke your finger into the oil filter hole to remove plastic. Hundreds of Honda engines have been ruined when piece breaks off. Winds up on filtered side blocking passage somewhere.
Thanks for the tip!;)
and the even smaller pieces can end up in one of the check balls in the oil pump holding it open resulting in no oil pressure
If I do this in DK, I loose my 5 years guarantee ;(
No you don’t. That’s what the dealer tells you. Look in your manual.
So many dishonest dealers. I just want to say, never put a deposit on a bike you want. Also, never go to Roseville honda dealer. They are very expensive, dishonest, uncooperative and unprofessional.
Ok..but you WILL effect the warranty of you red line the engine while standing...
sorry but you talk RUBBISH ! mineral oil ?? NEVER . according to Honda manual , its 10W30 100% SYNTHETIC of course ! With your cheap oil , you will shorten your motors' life AND eat more fuel.
🤦♂️
