Thank you for the video . I have a varadero mk3 and because here in Greece they charge a leg and a arm for the oil change . It has been very helpful . Keep up the good work

[@TheAmateurBikeBuilder]

Thanks Dan, glad it helped, it is a great bike, i have only done a few vids on the Varadero, it will be coming back in for an overhaul as soon as i have finished the current project, so no not done one on the CCT, i havent changed the CCT and i have 92000 miles on mine, got it 6 years ago with 19000 on it, been sweet all the time i have had it

Handtight only on the filter, never put a tool on it (40yr everyday biker).

[@TheAmateurBikeBuilder]

Thanks for the tip, much appreciated

[@MAYFER2024]

This filter is hf303? My Varadero is 2001 and I don't now how is the filter I need.

[@TheAmateurBikeBuilder]

Yes Fernando the filter is an HF303, my Varadero is also a 2001 model, so that is the filter you need

[@Kolhozneg]

why did you use Motorex Oil?

[@TheAmateurBikeBuilder]

Hello Alex , was given a free bottle and have used it before, usually put Rock Oil in my bikes,

[@Kolhozneg]

@@TheAmateurBikeBuilder I use in all my bikes usual motor oil without picture of motorcycle, because JASO the
same specification like API.

and look at table 3 and 4 here jalos.or.jp/onfile/pdf/4T_EV1605.pdf
