First Oil Change on my 2022 Honda Super Cub 125 

Honda manual Page 85 number 5 do not screw dipstick down when checking oil level. I wonder how many times people have messaged you about that? 😅🤣😂 good luck 👍

Good day to you. I am a Honda Cross Cub Grandpa from Japan. It is a nice Super Cub cool video!! Thank you so much for sharing. Have a nice day!!

I have the same bike. Please keep the videos coming. I’m trying to get the valve settings for the tappets.. Only let the dipstick sit in the hole. Don’t screw down to check the level. Drain bolt is 24NM. Cheers.

Very nice video and beautiful bike, hope to see some pov ride. Safe riding a greetings from Czech Republic.

To check the oil level, just place the rod on it and do not screw it in

You do not screw the oil dipstick in to check the oil. Bad info.

On your model you should change the oil filter too

Show the oil filter change too 😅😅😅

such a beauty. I had the 2020 in blue/red and loved it. But now my commute is not suitable anymore for that lovely 125cc

Funny calling a 125cc bike a bad boy. Drag Honda won’t bring the Super Cub to Canada 🇨🇦.

Are you supposed to screw it in to check the oil level? not so sure about that

I'm saving up for one of those bad boys myself 👍 will be traveling with it...

Great job. Had a chance to compare directly with the original C90?

9.39, your dog literally looking out for you, super cute.

I love the colours of this bike. I used to own a little 50cc Cub back in the day...in green and white lols- we used to call them "nifty fifties" 🤣. I'm thinking of buying either this 125cc cub or the Honda CT125 Trail hunter cub (assuming Honda now finally bring it to Europe with the new recently announced cleaner emissions engine for 2023)...any advice anyone?

Not a fan of that color. Seems like it is impossible to buy anything but a flat black motorcycle or scooter anymore. I have a 2021 model in red and white. I still cannot get it to shift smoothly. I which they had used real clutches on these. I doubt anyone will be delivering noodles on them.

You shouldn’t screw the dipstick down to check oil level. Read the hand book

For the U.S. they really need a Super Cub 250. Of course, prices go up and really gets

Any thoughts on magnetic drain plug?

The manual on my Vario 125 suggests an oil change every 2485 miles

Upload a new vid please

This is going to be my first bike, do you know how the new motor compares to the old one? Top speed or fuel economy differences?

Doesn't that bike have an oil level sight glass located below the oil filler hole?

Du Hast mich nicht mitgenommen, Wau

So I have not bought this motorcycle yet but I definitely plan to next year so I’ve never had one and I never maintain one. But I do maintain my own cars so I would’ve absolutely consulted the manual, but I was not aware that the oil needs to be changed this frequently. I will definitely keep that in mind Now does the oil oil the engine and is it also used for the transmission in the super cup if that is the case that would be convenient because I was wondering about changing out the transmission fluid in it and how often that needs to be done because I am all about maintaining my vehicles But if nothing else when I actually get one, I will definitely consult the whole manual for sure but thank you for showing me how to change the oil that looks pretty simple. I’m gonna have to find out how often the oil filter needs to be changed and how to do that I imagine it that probably would not have to be changed every 600 miles but we shall see

In the 2022 version in Italy there is a new air-cooled engine ... I can't wait to buy it ... without oil change problems it will be much more comfortable ... plus they made the 125 version with two seats. Strange that you still have the old engine in the 2022 version ...

Hey, does anyone know where I can order or get that plastic dip stick? My cub did not come with that. It only has a screw on cab.

Where did you get your wind screen, and what brand did you get?

How much does it cost, where and how order one please?

Did I miss something or did you forget the oils filter right by the rear brake

What windshield are you using? Thanks

That doggie was so cute and Ty for the tutorial lol I don’t even have the license lmao 🤣

Really appreciate this as i am a total noob to maintainence.

Normalmente en los scooters el nivel de aceite se comprueba sin enroscar la varilla de control, solo introduciéndola. No vaya a ser que tenga menos aceite de lo debido.

This machine does have an oil filter, however it's not what you think. Shout out to Not What You Think. Anywayyyys. It has a centrifugal oil filter located in the clutch assembly on the right side of the bike. Maintenance is required on this every 8,000 miles. Don't panic because replacing this filter is not difficult. Just lay the bike down its left side on something soft and have at it. I'm sure there's a video tutorial on RU-vid by now. As for the required oil. Any 10w30 that does not have friction modifiers in it will do. The owners manual tells you how to identify oil with friction modifiers and oil with out. So does Google by the way. Motorcycles use a wet clutch. This cub 125 does have a clutch. It is disengaged by the gear selector every time you change gears. DO NOT USE OIL WITH FRICTION MODIFIERS. IT WILL RUIN THE CLUTCH QUICKLY. On a side note of oil in general. If you go to any store that sells oil you'll see the different oil types for sure, but pay attention to 10W40. Alot of companies who produce oil for gasoline/petrol engines left 10W40 for motorcycles. You'll see that most 10W40 does not have friction modifiers. During the warmer season where most people prefer to ride 10W40 will not harm your engine at all. So hey look into it and save some money.

Nice bike

nice and peaceful video

Would like key!

Great video

It’s more beneficial to change the oil filter along with the oil change. In fact, you cam change the oil filter at the recommended oil change & the oil every other time. The contaminants are in the oil filter& not so much in the oil.

Change filter too?

Review the video, as it looks like the dog may have drank some oil.

That doggie was so cute and Ty for the tutorial lol I don’t even have the license lmao 🤣

Can i use MA2 in mi cub ?

Any new engine, from any manufacturer, has metal surfaces that wear and seat themselves. Piston rings and cylinders primarily, but bearings and valve train components too. The very first time the engine is started is when most of the wear takes place. Gradually over time the metal to metal wear slows way down and following the recommended oil change intervals should be followed. However, 500 miles for the first oil change on a small engine is damn near irresponsible, especially extending the oil filter usage. That oil filter is loaded with metal dust and shavings. You’re filtering clean oil with the most contaminated filter you’ll ever have inside your engine. I’m an old fart and have been a mechanic since I was a kid. I have a new CT125 Trail with only about 20 miles on it. When it hits 50 miles, I’m dumping the oil and filter. When it hits 500 then I’ll begin to follow Honda’s maintenance chart, but I’ll always put a fresh filter on it. The number one thing you could ever do for any motor to maximize its lifespan is to change the oil and filter.
