oil change/check
 
i haven't even checked my oil or thoguht about changing it...does anyone know how to change it? anything special i ned to know or just drain and re fill...i imagine there is no filter, how much oil does it hold?

it supposed to hold half a quart but i usually put a little more beings that am on the back wheel most of the time and the bike is not getting that much oil i change my oil about every 2 weeks i mean it only half a quart. Run the bike for a bit get the oil warm i think the bolt underneth is a 19 mm pop it off let it drain standin it up straight gets it all out. put it back on put at least a half quart in:hello

uhh
what exactly would happed if you havent changed the oil in like a month?

2xtreme50 02-23-2003 09:51 PM

i dont think it matters if you change it all the time but i try to. I no one of my friend has had a fiddy for like 4 months and has never changed the oil are adjusted the chain once not ever now hes stupid so i wouldnt suggest that.

am not sure when its full i think its when you get it in the cross hair thing on the dip stick am not sure tho i just guess it says in the manual but ive never opened that:apimp

Oil
 
If you just got a new 50 change the oil after the first few hours. you will be able to see tiny metal flakes all thru the oil the first time. If you see them on the second oil change you probably waited too long to change it the first time. Fill it to the full mark on the dipstick (make sure you bottom out the threads) and make sure you're taking out the drain plug and not the cam chain tensioner. Read the manual if you have no idea what's going on. If you find that to be too difficult I'm sure you can find someone to read it for you.:twofinger Dammit man is it that hard?

what kind of oil can I use. Does it have to be Honda, or motorcycle oil. Can I use Castrol GTX, cause I have an extra quart or two chillin in the garage.

I always use Honda four-cycle synthetic. I've heard that automotive synthetics will screw up your clutches but I've used in the past with no problems.
