Oil filter change

[david16]

I recently bought my first bike (Honda CBR125 2016) and I'm planning to change the engine oil in it.

Do I need to change the filter as well?

If yes how can I do that and where can I purchase the right filter?

There's no harm in changing it

Try your local Honda dealer for supplies

Halfords have a limited range of motorcycle oil filters, you might be lucky

Yeah, I'd change it whilst doing the oil change........do a search on eBay to find a suitable filter......but try to stick to OEM or a reputable make.....

Hi, There's no oil filter fitted to the CBR125R, just a oil screen which is stupidly fitted under the r/h clutch cover, so if you need to clean/or replace you have to get a clutch cover gasket as well!!

Normally the screen stays quite clean if oil has been changed regular. And as a 2016 model has it done loads of miles? Honda say's clean every 8,000 miles. And yes Castrol Coolant would be fine, if draining complete system.

What he said ^^^^

Just a little strainer you can clean, it’s a really easy job and it doesn’t need doing with every oil change. You don’t tend to replace them just give them a good clean.

If you do it, make sure you scrape all the old gasket off fully or you could get leaks.

Or if you're lucky the clutch cover might come away leaving the gasket intact . Be careful not to lose any locating dowels .

If you do fit a new gasket, a smear of grease will ensure that it comes away cleanly the next time you remove the cover, enabling its re-use.
