Good video. I'm going to change the first time the oil on my '07 Hornet and I'm a little confused about how much oil I need. Would you please tell me how many liters of oil did you put? I read in some places that I need 2.8 liters (with oil filter change). Is this correct?
Well it depends on how much you can get out of it. But yes that sound about right from memory. Just get the bike on level ground, hold it up right and fill until the oil is in the middle of the viewing window. Restart bike, then switch off and wait a couple on minutes. Check the level again and add if you need to.
***** Interesting, just got my first big bike 09 Hornet and there is a burning smell when warming up and it's been bugging me I was literally sniffing around the bike but couldn't pinpoint it so it might be that. Next time I'll be sure to clean it. Cheers.
Wait how did I get here?
It does remind me I need to change the oil in my Honda CB600f. Good guy RUclips, sending me to a good video.
What torque for the drain screw ?
best video! Question, was it difficult to put the filter back in once filled with oil? Never seen that done, but definitely a good idea. Thanks
No not really. Its more like presoaking but it helps minimise the time the engine is starved when first starting up.
Why is this spray for ? Good video !
+SVILEN RUSEV It's just some brake clean spray. It helps remove and oil so it doesn't smoke afterwards.
Good video! How Much momentum newton/meter does the oilplug needs?
I think its 12Nm.
what size is the oil plug? M12? M14? thanks

Great vid but why spray brake cleaner in the block?
Just around the block to clean the oil off. Not necessary, but I just hate oil burning off once you first warm her up. And thanks!

Great, thanks for making the vid :)
+Harlin67 No problem!
hi, did you change that brass gasket, or did you used the old one ?
I re used it this time, it didn't leak.
Good video thanks
Question
Oil icon appeared on the dash, what does it mean?
maybe I'm too late but normally it indicates low oil pressure (bad)
@@kawasjt It's only bad if it comes on during riding or idling, not during start up because it's a startup lamp check only I think.
@@like-icecream correct.
Почему не 7100 мотюль??
Didn't you forget to take off the oil filler cap before draining the engine?
PS nice vid
+Ruud de Beijer If the flow is restricted yes, but it wasn't. The breather on the engine allowed air in.
ok great, thanks for your explanation
