WRONG! Drain the oil on the side stand then fill on the paddock stand. Gravity 101.... look where the drain plug is when the side stand is used (lowest point).... I don't know anything, I only just got 3 of these critters. edit: and perhaps put something over the downpipes to avoid oil mess?
It drain all the oil. I made several oil vhanges like this and never had a problem. The motor had 60000km+. The delars also change like this they dont have time to use side stand. The mess can be cleaned with brake cleaner 😉 you can change oil like you want with your motor
@@SanjanaRanasingha I had this problem too, doing an oil change right now, hence watching the video. Leave your engine running until its nice and hot, maybe go for a 15 minute ride. Get some paper, fold it over the oil cap to avoid scratches, then yes, gently use a set of pliars. Get them as close to the base as possible and ge tly start applying torque on it to try to lever it open. I was worried about it breaking too, if you take your time it can be done

Love that music on the background ^^
manual actually writes to drain the oil on the side stand, though don't know what would be the difference, maybe more oil will go out😏
Profi!
What kind of "lube" did you use for the filter before screwing it on?
New engine oil
@@igoris992 Thanks! :) Just bought it. First bike :)
Congats. Very good motor for learning - very forgiving. Check other video from hornet on my chanel
Do you think my hornet will hate me for forgetting to lube? 😅
How many miles do you do in-between services on the bike?
3000-4000 miles(6000km)
What was the tool you used to tighten the oil filter?
Cj C it like oil filter wrench
Basic - if Ou see on video its like leather tape type
It’s a strap wrench.

@@igoris992 motorS.... Not singular. Whilst you make an effort to show, it's not the correct way... But, it's your bike. Be safe.
Does anyone have any advice on what to do when the oil level dipstick is stuck and cannot be unscrewed by hand? Any personal experiences to share?
Unscrew it with a pliers
@@andreig8895 and risk breaking it? Fuck you!

Someone know the oil capacity for a 2004 Honda Hornet ?
About 3,8l
@@igoris992 Oh, ok. Thank you very much.
