You forgot one thing to mention that the Crf 1000 is very nitpicking about measuring the oil… definitely not on the center stand and also not on the side stand.. set it straight like you would ride it and than measure it… it makes a huge difference.
That seems sketchy. The difference between a center stand or paddock stand and how you would ride it is minimal, and there’s no way they designed it to be held steady not on any stands when doing this sort of work.
According to the manual, We have to be carefull not to use 'fuel save' oils. Some 10W 30 motorcycle oils have 'fuel save' feature, which is not suitable for Africa Twin, especialy DCT version.
@@1LiterADV you are right! I did some research after I wrote the comment and the response was the same. Would you recommend the genuine oil from Honda? In Australia I use Penrite which is equivalent of Motul but even before using this oil I have noticed that sometimes the gear are hold for to long on a DCT model. Is this a regular issue on a DCT model? 🫣
Yes it is different. Only use motorcycle oil because the clutch, transmission, and engine share the same oil in these motorcycles. So car engine oil will cause issues.
Great video, I watched this as I'm about to service my bike you mentioned the oil filter threads coming out of the motor a bit what happens if they do come out further than what you measured? What do I do? I've serviced lots of cars and motorcycles in my life but I've never given a thought to the thread coming out
I just mentioned that because it was in the Haynes manual. I’ve never heard anyone have an issue. You may consult your local dealer but I’m guessing if you seat treads, they would bottom out to correct depth. I think the real issue is making sure it’s not loose with the ability to unthread and leave it with the oil filter down the trail.
