I make the tin foil oil path too! Great tip
Great minds think alike! Thank you Dean
What a trip I just did all that on my RR last week.
@@migo831 Nice bro what year is your RR?
@@sportbikepov is older. A 2005
@@migo831 Hell yeah they say if you take good care of a Honda then it’ll run forever
@@sportbikepov that's the truth. I bought mine from my buddy who lopped it doing a wheelie. Rebuilt it still going strong.
i could never some of this maintenance by myself even though its simple if there is more than like 3 bolts unscrewed and laying around i get very anxious haha
@mile5892 Haha yeah it's a bit intimidating at first ngl. It's fun though. Plus you know exactly how everything is being done on your bike. I usually keep my bolts organized in a container but this time I accidentally kicked it over and the bolts went everywhere... so that was a learning experience lol
This video is very helpful! I’m thinking about getting a 500 as my first bike ever. I never rode a dirt bike or anything as far as a sports bike but I know myself and I think the 500 will be a great starter bike!
Nice bro! Just respect the bikes power and take time to practice (away from other drivers) and you’ll be fine starting on a 500. I started on this 600 with no prior riding experience and I’ve never even dropped it once. Have you taken the MSF Basic Rider Course to get your motorcycle endorsement yet?
@@sportbikepov I haven’t yet, tbh I just been looking at other “starter” sport bikes to start on. I was going to do a R3 or a Ninja 400. A lot of ppl recommend a lil higher CC because I’ll out grow it quick. This spending more money on another bike which I understand. I do want to take the course and I’m going to! I also want to have good gear so honestly I’m just preparing myself in case I do drop the bike lol
@@jrdxnn-549 When you take the course, you’ll see if you have a knack for riding motorcycles. It was very natural to me right away. If you’re the same, then you’ll have no trouble starting on a bigger bike. I would have outgrown a 250-400 far too quickly. My CBR600RR was the perfect starter bike for me in every way. The first day you get your bike, practice all the drills you did in the course to learn your bike (clutch friction zone, throttle response, side-to-side weight shifting, etc.) and you’ll minimize the risk of dropping it early. Also look down at the kickstand when using it to make sure it’s fully deployed and on a stable surface. Feel free to ask me any questions whenever brother!
@@sportbikepov I appreciate the tips bro!! You gained another subscriber lol! I’m definitely going to take the course sometime this summer, I’ll be tuning in for the sports bike videos!!
@@jrdxnn-549 No worries bro thank you for your support!
Good looking bike mate!🔥 Just bought my 08 600rr and i LOVE IT!!!
Thank you bro! Hell yeah it’s an awesome bike. 07-12 600rr is a work of art 👍
GReat video
Thank you I’m glad it helped!
nice vid thanks for the info
Thanks for watching! Part 2 will be out Friday, that video shows how to replace the chain and sprockets
Link to part 2 please and torque specs would be good too. Tia
Link to part 2 added in the top right corner of the video. I also just created a playlist on my channel with all my maintenance videos so far! The torque specs will likely differ depending on the year/model, I didn't want to give anyone wrong information. I can add the torque specs for a 2007-2012 CBR600RR if that will help you
Great video! I just bought a 2008 CBR600RR and am trying to figure out how to lift the front end to be able to take off the front tire and eventually do some work on the front forks. I heard people use a front triple tree stand. Do you know what size pin to use for that or any other way to lift the front end? Thank you!
Thanks man! Yeah definitely get some stands. They pay for themselves in the long run and gives peace of mind knowing your bike is secure. I believe the pin size is 13mm. For Pit Bull stands, pin size #6
Do you need to replace any crusher washers for the coolant bolts/screws
Yeah it’s recommended in the service manual to replace the sealing washers with new ones. It’s a cheap price to pay for peace of mind and preventing leaks (and potentially costly repairs!)
Thaks a lot for this vídeo. Could you please share me the brand the coolant?
I use “HP Coolant” because it’s recommended in the official Honda CBR600RR service manual. I know a lot of people prefer to use “Engine Ice” coolant. Both are great options. Make sure to completely flush the cooling system with distilled water (like shown in this video) whenever changing to a different type of coolant. Never mix ethylene glycol and propylene glycol together!
Thaks a lot. What do you think about preston to 50℅ (bottle yellow color)
@@alejandrofarfan8675 The 50/50 Yellow “All Vehicles” Prestone should be fine. It’s compatible with aluminum and I don’t think it contains silicates
Hello friend, I saw your videos and I was trying to attempt the airfilter change and I might have lost a screw in one of the holes. I was wondering how you can get it out? You really know your bike and care for it. Please and thank you. 😂
If you mean the screw fell into 1 of those 4 tubes in the air intake box, that’s not good. DO NOT TWIST THE THROTTLE OR START THE ENGINE. Shine a bright light and look if you can see the screw. If you can see it, use a magnetic screwdriver to try carefully hook it out. Watch this video “How to change the air filter and clean the intake ports on a 2003 Honda CBR600RR Part 1” by Moto Solutions to see how to get easier access if you need
👍
Thanks for watching Mariusz!
How often do u flush the coolant?
In general, you should replace with fresh coolant at least once every 2 years (or 24k miles, whichever comes first). You should completely flush the system with distilled water (like shown in this video) whenever changing to a different type of coolant. Never mix ethylene glycol and propylene glycol together!
At what miles are you doing all of these services?
Oil & oil filter: replace every 3-5k miles (at least once per year)
Coolant: replace once every 2 years (or 24k miles, whichever comes first)
Air filter: clean at least once per year; replace as needed. I clean out the air box and OEM air filter every time I change the oil, since I already have the fairings off.
If using the OEM air filter, you can only clean out debris with compressed air (no chemicals or anything), so it needs replacing every 18-24k miles; depends on the environment you ride in. You’ll know it needs replacing if you shine a flashlight through the filter and you can’t see the light through the other side.
Alternatively, you can use an aftermarket air filter (such as K&N), which are designed to be cleaned with specialized cleaning agents once per year and they last much longer.
Que anticongelante usas?
Me gusta usar “Pro Honda HP Coolant”
“Engine Ice” es bueno también, pero no se puede combinar etilenglicol y propilenglicol. Necesitas limpiar el sistema como lo hice en este video si cambias el tipo de anticongelante
