- See how easy it is to change the oil on a Honda CB500X with a Rally Raid engine guard installed. You can skip the tin foil scupper it ain't that messy.
Here's some additional helpful comments from Jenny Morgan...
Another great video... and Pete is just adorable! - I can't wait to see him doing his own videos when he gets his first bike - maybe a Z50R ;o)
As for the pin at the rear of the guard, as you highlight, these will be supplied in plain stainless steel in future to ensure they slip in and out of the frame easily.
"I would also add that it is a good idea to back off the two front engine bolts a turn or two to aid the pivoting down of the guard - I surprised you were able to pivot it with them at the correct torque - I'd be worried that the powder coating was getting chewed doing it that way?
Keep up the fantastic work Juan!"
Good work buddy. I've got my RR bash plate on order. This was a small worry of mine, thinking I'd have to take the whole sucker off but this proves there's no need. Thanks again.
Thanks Juan, you make everything look simple!
***** Thanks! this one actually is pretty simple!
Thanks Mate, enjoyed the video, now off to change the oil on the Wife’s CB500X that she took on our lap of Australia tour.
great videos mate , your clear and precise with no B/S like other ones and do a through job and commentary congrats cheers
I am from Brasil, loving your videos, very cool.
I have a Kawasaki Versys 650 .
Keep the Good Videos.
the filter fits into the existing air filter and pocks in through the hole and screws on , then just pull it out and air hose it and put back in initial cost is large but being able to reuse it is the bonus
excellent video many thanks from the uk
Sweet, this answered my question from the other vid. 👍
Thanks for the video. It helps a lot. I should get my skid plate today.
Thanks man. All done. Just to confirn rally raid have removed the powder coating layer. The Bash plate fastener slots right back in easily.
+aviduke yes, should be even easier!
Brian, id give the fumoto oil drain valve a try. With a hose attached, you might not have to drop the bash plate at all.
that's a huge pair of plyers you used on the filter! a filter wrench from honda is only a few dollars
Gracias Juan buen video me gusto lo de tu hijo despidiendo el video saludos julio
Hi Juan,
Great ambient music you used at the end by H.U.V.A. Network. Check out their live at Glastonbury 2010 soundtrack. Its out there. Best regards,
thanks!
Thank you very much for all these fantastic videos! Does the engine guard have the propper dimensions so that if you drop the bike to either side, no parts of the engine will touch the ground?
Yes, the handle bars/brush guards help too. We've dropped these bikes alot and have yet to hit the engine....be careful you dont 'case' it so hard that you shear the engine mount bolt where the forward bash plate mounts.
Thanks!
Hey buddy ,
Great videos getting my cb500x soon and going to order the level 3 rally raid kit as soon as I can . My question is have you done the valve clearances on the cb your self and how hard is it if you have ?
Cheers 👍
I haven't even checked 'em.
blancolirio ok cool thanks 👍
DNA Air Filters R-H5N20-02. for 19-22 models previous model filters are available. $130.00 AU the founding distributor is in Greece . SRCAdventure Moto has a real good bash plate which covers your headers about 4-500 AU
I have those same Chanel lock pliers and yes they suck ! Does the exact same thing, slips out of the lock and pinches your finger !
I'm curious. Does the new crush washer come with the oil filter? It looks like it was taped on outside of the plastic wrap of the filter but it's hard to tell.
taped on the outside.
Hey do you still have this bike and if so ever have an issue with the crash bars mounted to the engine block? I have been thinking of this bike due to lower weight but I'm concerned with cracking the block on a hard off. Thanks for any feedback.
So when you top it off using the breather glass, the bike doesn't have to be level? (Is it designed to be done while on the kickstand?)
The bike should be level to determine proper oil level in the glass.
When does Pete get his bike ?
Oset 12.5!
I bought a used (7 miles) and now ( 430) miles the skid pan/bash plate vibrates. Took a while to pinpoint the problem but welds are junk. The rear rack cut the seat in 2 places, I'm done with RR. I thought they did all the R&D but it looks like not so much. I have e mailed them several times and got no response, I guess customer service is not there strong point either. Must be marketing
sorry that sump guard was $395 AU
SRC Adventure Moto are a Australian company located in Brisbane. , check there web site out , they make all this stuff themselves , have a real good ONE piece crash bars TOP and BOTTOM
Hi Juan, I saw you used a crocodile wrench (I think that is what it is called) and thought you might like to check out Knipex's Pliers Wrench: czcams.com/video/7Z7_NpmUuKA/video.html and the Pliers Wrench Mini: czcams.com/video/9UT96PQiK-g/video.html
For that small space I reckon the Mini will do the trick awesomely.
Thanks for your awesome videos on the RR 500x.
Nick
should only do hand tight then you don't need multi grips to get it off
