The torque on the oil drain plug (according to the shop manual) is 27 ft-lbs, and 7 ft-lbs on the oil filter. You can get a semi-functional tripod from the thrift store (or even a good one) for $2 - $3 - well worth the investment and the extra 30 seconds to set it up - much better video quality. It's near impossible to see the torque wrench gauge from the back, unless you have a clicker, but still wondering how you got the torque right on the oil filter.
@@jonyr1TT Good morning. I have to remark that this video is five years old. I started making videos maybe seven - eight years ago. The first thing people complained about was the camera moving around so much. I learned very quickly to use a tripod. I'm sure you've resolved that by now. Cheap motoring is my central theme. I do all of my own (DIY) mechanic work, except for tire changes and things I can't do on my own. Over the years, I've gathered a huge collection of tools, so I have the torque wrenches. We also have the advantage of Harbor Freight Tools - amazingly cheap tools from China. I don't know if you have it there, but after my bike (bicycle) ride this morning, I'll head over there. They have a very handy oil filter removal tool, which can be used with 3/8ths drive ratchet for $10. I bought this 1991 Honda CBR1000F with all the cowls removed (with all the paint stripped off), so I still don't know quite how they all go back on. But I'm pretty sure that, even if you got the oil filter off without taking the cowls off, you'd still have to remove the cowls to get it out. On the other hand, I got this bike for $500. For another $1500, I could have bought one that's running and has all the parts. The former owner says "it ran great... 15 years ago when I parked it."
@@jonyr1TT I'm beginning to wonder if my nightmare has just begun. That cheap tool from Harbor Freight didn't work, so I'll be taking that one back. I used a large set of battery pliers to remove the old filter, and then I had to guess at what 7 ft-lbs of torque might be - with those same battery pliers. Hopefully it won't fall out.
I'm literally rotflmao lots and lots. well done for leaving the blooper in, I know i wouldn't. lol was that the sump plug you took out of the dirty oil and threw down?? I actually thought the dog tipped it over and got a boot up the arse. I'm glad it wasn't. could I ask, why all the speed braces, mainly just for decoration. anyoldhoo, great video, thoroughly enjoyed it. 😀 👍 👍 👍
Mikey mike lol I just totally forgot to put the sump plug back in, lot on my mind at the moment. Speed brace, 50P each from the car boot sales I just have the most commonly used sockets sizes on them.
Yes well done for showing us all what we could do, and i will tell you something else my wife would be roasting my nuts after spilling oil on the patio your wife must be easy going like you too, all you said was "oh dear" i would have swore my head off an left home ha ha, great vids thank you...
Seriously. You need a oil wrench tool. www.supercheapauto.com.au/Product/SCA-Oil-Filter-Wrench-Adjustable/291474. This is an Australian supplier. I use this on my CBR1000F. Put it through the front with an extension and job done.

Thanks for letting everyone know your thoughts.. Note the video is not for rich people. Just people trying to keep cheap motoring 👍

That oil has not been changed in quite some time + the oil filter seems to be baked like a potato in the oven :D from those exhaust pipes
Yes it wasn't a easy job.
did u ever have problems with the side stand,mine seems to lie over way too much and thats on level ground,it also flexes a bit
No I didn't It felt strong on the side stand. 👍
Łoo Panie! Mobil1 do motocykla?!? Pamiętaj że jest tam mokre sprzęgło! Tylko MOTUL 10W40👍
👍💙
Ile tego Motula tam się leje? Wlasnie kupiłem tego klasyka i biore się za wymianę olejów filtrów itp
👍
Nobody s perfect.
cheers buddy

SooperSkoots what's done is done lol
Hi could u do a engine flush oil treatment at all.
hi no theres know need
Ok cool..just theres no flushing of cbr1000f engines maybe our cbr dont need that treament.
i wouldn't recommend it. as it can wash away sealant on some joints causing leaks

Lindsay Millard Hi thanks for the comment but I'm in the UK so not much use to me.
Try this. www.amazon.co.uk/Oil-Filter-Wrenches/b?ie=UTF8&node=5136339031
OK thanks for the help
Hi, just a wee line to see how yer doin. Thinking about you. 🤔😇
hi mike. still hard to believe she's gone I guess. trying to move on. thanks for the kind thoughts mike. road rodent will return on 09/08/17 all being well.
Oiiyy!!! Not gonna show the oil are you mate? What gives? Ayy??
Couldn't even begin to remember that video is over 3 year old but it would of been cheap stuff. Mate
You couldn't even change oil in a lawn mower right.
I changed the plug once after I'd cut through the cable
dont try this at home ahahah
Lol I'm only human 🔧👍👍👍💓
