Geez can Honda make things more difficult?
Did my 600 mile service this morning. On the 2021 when removing the belly pan there is a clip that holds some wiring in the front. It's a pain to unhook and hook.
The drain plug is buried.
The oil filter was installed by Godzilla.
If Honda had put a little cutout for the DCT filter in the belly pan you could do the whole oil change without removing the belly pan at all I believe. And if they put an oval slot in the belly pan you could check your coolant level without removing the belly pan.
Next gripe is the chain adjustment... where there are giant gaps in the adjustment marks on the side of the swingarm, and the bracket that holds it has the indexing mark at the top where there are no marks.
Then that stupid plate on the back of the swingarm for the chain adjustment.. geez how cheap is that?
Finally got it done, and put back together. Glad that's a once every great once in awhile thing!
And for anyone that think that it's easy, you should do a CB1100. THAT'S how it should be to change a motorcyc;le's oil. Honestly.
