how do i change the oil on my 1985 honda rebel? Where are the drain plug, screen and fill?

Answer 1

-The oil drain bolt is on the L "side" of the motor near the front & bottem. (you need a 17mm wrench).
-It doesn't have a conventional oil filter. It's a centrifical filter and oil screen that just have to be cleaned. No need to clean it at every oil change. Clean it when you have to do motor work like change the clutch. They're in the R crankcase.
-The oil fill cap/dip stick is on the R crankcase cover.
-Remove the drain bolt and drain the oil.
-Re-install the bolt. Change the crush washer if needed.
-Hold the bike upright (as if you were sitting on it). Add oil to the top line of the dip stick. Use motorcycle oil. Car oil can't handle the deposits left behind by the clutch friction plates. If you use car oil you'll just have to change it twice as often.
-Re-install the cap and start the bike. Let it run for a couple of minutes (to let the oil circulate through the motor).
-Turn off the bike and let it cool down for a few minutes (to let the oil from the top of the motor drain down to the crankcase).
-Hold the bike upright and add oil to the top line of the dipstick if it's low.
