Hello friends I am a new member I greet all of you, I am Italian and I live in Italy, but I read with pleasure your activities and I need help for my bike Honda Cb 500 t, I removed the cover on the flywheel side and saw that all oil engine, I believe that in that place there should be no oil, is not it? if there is oil How should I use timing light what is broken. I also want to change oil with synthetic 10-40 bardalh this is good for gearbox and clutch in oil bath because it is. I apologize for writing I use the translator, thank you for your answers.

first thing you should do before touching any bike is reading the HONDA SERVICE MANUAL for the model of your bike.

Hello I bought the manual and I read it in English but I find it hard to understand, I asked for help I want to know if the flywheel has to be oil, the manual does not say anything, if you know tell me.
thanks

Yes - the flywheel on the 450t and 500t is in an oil bath.

Ok thanks, but how to check phase with the timing light goes out when running, if the engine oil, which is no secret.

 

[Sonreir]

Oil will come out when you use the timing light. You need to place a container underneath to catch the oil. Not enough oil will come out to hurt the engine.

Ok, still recommend the clutch in oil bath is I want to use synthetic oil bardalh 10-40 but the manual says sae 10-40, which one to buy to do well the gearbox and the clutch.

 

[Rich Ard]

Just make sure to use a JASO-compliant oil of similar weight.

 

[Sonreir]

I would avoid synthetic oil. It will probably cause the clutch to slip.

Hi bardalh oil contains additives for oil bath clutch, in kawasaki z750 twins and I put everything ok, I ask for honda engines because they do not know them.
