I wish everybody on youtube could make as good instructional videos as you did, sir! Sharp focus and to the point!
I really appreciate this brother. I own a sweet '01 Sabre 1100 & I'm trying to learn everything I can to avoid having to pay the bike shop or dealerships. I wish more people would post simple, yet helpful info like this.
I owned an 86 Shadow 1100 for 24 years. Never needed any tools to get the filter on or off. Probably over 50 oil changes with just muscle power, but I also had a factory centre stand.
THANKS! been needing to learn how to do this on my own for a while - the dealership i usually go to can't do an appointment until a week from now - i think ill be going to the store today to buy supplies and do it myself - i wouldnt do it myself if i didnt have this very good video to guide me. thnx again
Thank you Jake for your comments/posting. Glad to hear it helped.
Best vehicle instructional video I've seen yet....Thanks!
Thank you Lindz for the kind words. Thanks for watching.
I appreciate it. I bought a VT1100C2 and its about that time for an oil change. It's the first time I've had to do one and you wouldn't believe the high prices they charge to do it at a shop. Costs more to do it on a bike than they would on a car! But again I appreciate the video
Glad to hear it helped. Thank you ODEN119 for your comments/posting.
I cant thank you enough. That was so reformative and professional! thank you so much for doing this video!
Glad to hear it helped. Thank you Sari Sbai for your comments/posting.
Thanks a lot for this video, very well explained. Watch it every time i do manteinance to my bike.
You are welcome, glad to hear. Thank you Roberto for your comments/posting.
Awesome video. I loved that this was short and very informative. Any of the other oil change videos I've found take an unneeded 15 minutes to get this all across.
i have the same exact bike and you explain everything very well
Thank you bowguy Bates, I appreciate your comment/posting.
Doing that today with my 05 Hond Shadow Sabre 1100VT as well. Flames but Black and orange
Nice. Let me know how it works out joesavoie3312.
Excellent video!!! Should have checked here before checking forums. Thank You!
Thank you! This was an excellent step by step instructional video! :)
Thank you yattabutters for your comments/posting. Glad to hear to it helped.
Hi randy parry, I haven’t had that particular issue/experience. I wouldn’t drive it hoping it goes away, don’t take that chance till you find out if it’s truly the oil pump, oil pressure sensor or just a loose sensor switch connection. Hope you make out O.K. Good luck.
Hugely appreciate this string of videos you just saved me a lot of money, thank you sir.

If you remove the oil filler cap, the oil will drain faster
Nice video. One recommendation. You state "recommended 10-40 weight" oil. You should probably state, 10W-40 "motorcycle" oil, specifically (even though, I see the picture has this). I have the same bike (2001). I bought the oil filter, a drain plug washer, and... some 10W-40 "automotive" oil from Walmart. Ugh! I found out after my oil change, that I would burn out my clutch with non-motorcycle oil (which has friction components for the clutch).
But, loved the video as it matched my bike! - Thanks.
Thank you Mark, duly noted. Yes, the crankcase, trans, and clutch system utilizes/uses the motorcycle engine oil. Thank you for your comments/posting.
I see a lot of videos saying add 3.3 to the engine. That is 3.3 liters. Make sure if you use quarts that you put in 3.5 quarts. I'm looking at the service manual now.
Good looking out MeisterTV, thank you for sharing. My manual reads 3.3 US qt (3.1l). I'm guessing some manuals vary.
Excellent, concise video. Thank you.
Thank you Tammi for your comments/posting.
Hi - I have a 2002 Shadow Sabre VT1100 C2 and this video is great. Problem I am having is getting a reading from the dipstick. I don't want to overfill, but there's not even a drop of oil showing after putting in 3.3 quarts. Is it "3.3" as a suggestion and you keep filling to get it to show on the dipstick? I ran the bike, let it sit, checked, added a touch more, did it again, still no oil showing.
Help?
Hi fobagr, The 3.3 US qt. is an approximate number according to the owner’s manual. With the bike in the upright position, add a little bit, check, add a little more, (even if it’s a table spoon amount at a time) :) you should start to see the level. Thank you fobagr for commenting/posting.
Great video. Thank you.
You're welcome. Thank you johnhoward8668 for your comments/posting.
WHAT MILAGE DO I CHANGE A 2001 VT1100C2 OIL?
When using motorcycle conventional type oil between 3000-4000 miles should be fine. As posted below, I change around 3000 miles. Hope this helps. Thank you Davidgpines1 for commenting/posting.
I have 650vlx, you have great vids, thanks for sharing
Thanks ❤
You're welcome 😊
Excellent videos any chance of a brake pad and brake fluid change video.THNX

I have a 2000 Honda sabre 1100. I took it out of my shed this year. started it up (it was on a tender and started right up. oil light was on. changed the oil and filter and dipstick reads full. however, oil light remains on. this is after starting it, running it in idle and shutting it off about 4 times.. any ideas why its still on?
How often do you change the oil filter? I talked to a guy at my local Honda shop and he said to change it every oil change, that's sounds way to often to me. What's your take?
Hi Gerardo, I always change the oil and the filter together for my bikes (and vehicles). Of course it adds a little more of a cost when also replacing the filter but, I feel its worth it. Having a new/clean filter protects from the contaminants from the previous oil filter.
Thanks for the video that was useful my question is every how many KM or Mile do you recommend changing the oil and filter?
Good vid. Is it okay for the bike to be on the kick stand or does it have to be upright to check the oil??
You may need a person to help hold the bike up but you want to have the bike in the upright position when checking the oil level.
You forgot to mention, before you check oil dipstick , position upright your bike then check the level of the dipstick otherwise overfilled.
Hi Kelly, actually I mention it around 3:40, “while checking the oil level, hold the bike in the upright position…” but it’s a good idea, I can add an annotation/note as well. Good looking out Kelly, thank you for your comment/posting.
I need to replace a boot on the carb. i have a2002 shadow sabre got any tips
what if my oil cap doesnt have a dipstick on it? theres no sight glass either
You can measure it out using a measuring container of the amount the manual reads to put in but, I definitely would invest in a dipstick type for your model and year Honda you have. Otherwise, you can put in too much oil or too little oil in.
Any body know the oil filter part number for 2002 Honda shadow 1100 ??? Please let me know
I don't see a part number in the owners manual but, I would call a Honda motorcycle dealership for the part number. Its probably the same type for multiple year models.
Heck of a lot quicker / easier than the oil change was on my Vstar 650!
Yes, even though the process/method is the same for changing the oil, some bikes are easier to change than others.
INdeed. However I have just read on a forum today that a Vstar 1100 (and only the 1100 model) is a nightmare to change the oil filter on because you have to remove the floorboard (if so equipped) and the lower exhaust pipe!!!! How stupid of Star to do that!!! 0_0
Wow, having to remove the floorboard and the lower exhaust pipe, that’s wild. What were the engineers thinking? :) Thankfully that’s not the norm.
Trying to remove oil filter on the 1100 shadow sabre and the filer just spins and won't release...help
Oh wow, I haven't seen that. I'm sure you did but, did you try pulling and turning at the same time? Were you able to get it off since then?
@@DoItYourSelfers OMG! Finally got the dang thing off but in two pieces! The base of the filter just broke off leaving the base ring still screwed to the bike. After much struggle I was able to release that and replace filter. Note to self.....never have anyone else change your oil no matter how convenient it may be. They always seems to tighten everything way too much!
Great news!! Persistence paid off. I’m happy to hear you got it. I agree, the mechanics will tighten things way too tight, motorcycle (or car). Thank you Layne, for the update.
Is the oil any kind of special 10w 40 i got my bike but it didn't have an owner manual.
Good video. I have a shadow spirit 1100 is it the same set up do you know?
Thank u
You're welcome. Glad it will help.
Great video. But i got a question: when checking the oil level, do i sit the bike upright or check in the position as it sits with the kickstand deployed?
You may need someone to assist but, have the motorcycle in an upright position when checking the oil level. Thank you Nathaniel for your comments/post.
@@DoItYourSelfers
Thanks man! Been watching your maintenance videos. Really helps!
Glad to hear it helped. 👍
I have a 2003 honda shadow sabre and I would like to know where you got the backrest and the part number if possible and also what windshield you would recommend
Actually, it’s still in great shape but I bought the backrest from the Honda dealer when I purchased the bike in 2002, (which I’m still riding) so I’m not sure of the part number or if that particular backrest is still being made.
I really don’t have any recommendations on a windshield. I never had one on any of my bikes but I do see the benefits from them though. Thanks Antonio for posting. Have fun, be safe
Best video bro!!
Thank you Orlando Aspericueta for your comments/posting.
Literally any piece of vital information you might need is left out of this video What size Box wrenched did he use what oil filter did he use how much oil he says nothing
At .16 seconds in to the video shows the 4 quarts of oil, .28 seconds in to the video it’s said, 17mm wrench, the filter you can ask your dealership and the oil level is explained at 3:39. It shows at what level to have the oil. (it doesn’t take all 4 quarts)
whats the torque spec of the drain bolt?
According to the Shadow 1100 manual the drain bolt specified torque is: 22 lbf-ft. (30 N-m , 3.1 kgf-m) I personally don't use a torque on the drain plug so I had to look it up. Good to know though. Thank you Adam for your question.
Did you have to left your bike to change it?
No, I didn't have to lift the bike.
what's your take on using synthetic motorcycle oil? Thanks for letting me know.
Hi John, I’m obviously no expert to say the least, and honestly I can only speak from experience about conventional oil. I haven’t used synthetic so I can only share what I’ve read/heard, and give you something’s to consider.
Overall more performance oriented vehicles require synthetic because of the high heat that builds in these engines, where conventional engines don't require anything special. Synthetic resists extremes temperature better and as you know, lasts longer before oil changes. (2-3 times longer) Also, there’s a synthetic “blend”, (a mix of conventional and synthetic) to consider as well. I have an older bike and I’m good about changing my (conventional) oil every 3000-4000 miles. Synthetic is a thin oil and I’ve read some owners who change to synthetic oils in older motorcycles often find they can possibly leak more. (Just something to consider)
I would always recommend be on the safe side and check your owner’s manual or check with a dealership.
Thank you John for your comments. Have fun riding, be safe.
How do you hold the bike upright while checking the oil?
If no one is around I can manage sitting on the bike keeping it in upright position and checking the dip stick but then I have to get off and on the bike to add oil. For the most part I typically have someone assisting me. I would suggest someone helping you. They're heavy bikes, between 600-700 pounds. Always play it safe.
is it best to fill oil filter up before install like a car?
Rog Gibson I put the owner’s manual recommended amount, 3.3 quarts or just
shy of that, install the oil filler cap, start the engine and let idle a minute or 2 allowing the oil to fill the filter (for a more accurate reading). Recheck the level, adding a little at a time, until the oil level is at or near the upper level mark. Be careful not to overfill. Hope this helps. Thanks Rog for your comments/posting.
잘보고 갑니다.
Thank you for watching.
What other oil do yoy recommend?
I stick with the Honda SAE 10W-40, Pro Honda GN4, or HP4 4-Stroke oil or equivalent.
what size is the box wrench that removes the oil plug?
The box wrench size to remove the oil drain plug is 17mm.
hey thank you so much - i couldnt have done it without your video - mission accomplished.
Glad to hear it helped! Thank you Nomadic Behavior for your comments/posting. Have fun, be safe.
you got it on a lift?
No lift was needed.
WHAT MILAGE DO U CHANGE OIL AT
My manual says 4000 miles but I'm old school (as well as some of my vehicles) so I change the oil and filter around 3000 miles.
