My CBR250R (MC17) looks way better without the lowers on. Easier to work on it too. Did you find that there are several part Honda numbers for the same oil filter? and different prices
too.

I changed the spark plugs and did a valve adjustment on a Honda Hawk GT yesterday and everything has to come off in order to get to the cam covers. Even had to drain the radiator, because the thermostat and ALL the hoses had to be removed before the front cam cover can come off. And removing the thermostat and putting it back in the “penned up” area it was sitting in was a puzzle in itself.

– change 4 spark plugs – 2 minutes
– valve tappet adjustment – 10 minutes
– removing everything, then assembling it back together – 4 hours

Glad you got everything together and the bike is running good. I’m with you on the simplicity of your 70’s Honda (or my Guzzi), because I prefer the same “ease” in maintenance. It will definitely be easier and a shorter day next time though, as you know the bikes anatomy. Working on modern bikes is a great learning experience though and can be enjoyable, although frustrating at times! 😉
