Which o-ring... I'm interested to know! J

I've gotten more out by disconnecting a hose at the front of the engine. To your other point, you will not be running less coolant, if you followed the top up procedure correctly... You will just have swapped out less old coolant. The 650 manual is very good at getting rid of air locks etc...

As above. It's the right colour to be coolant, it's definitely not fuel similar colour to petrol. It could be many things on a 2015...leaking heat exhanbger, some damage to the radiator, a split or cracked hose or loose clamp. It could be as simple as the coolant overflow pipe is not poking...

I'm at 45k miles on a 2014... I've got no reason to mess with those. As above, unless you have a reason / signs that they need to be touched, leave well alone. Just stick to the service schedule. J

It does need a damn good pull to remove it though... Those stator magnets are grippy! Follow the service manual procedure closely and you'll be fine. J

Hi and welcome. This has been covered many many times on the forum... Please do have a search for common issues before posting. It's also covered in the manual (you have read this right?). Unless it's dripping actively it's by design. Closing thread as a duplicate. J

I had a friend hold the bike for me while I followed the user manual. Once I knew it was at the "max" mark, I let the bike cool and then checked the oil while on the side stand. I now use that "side stand" level as max, and keep it about there. Now I can check the oil cold and on the stand...

If the oil level is between min and max, you're fine. I personally aim for about 75% of the way up - but anywhere is fine. Especially as the newer engines use much less oil (and longer dipsticks), but have no other real changes. A pic would help, but I'm sure you are fine. J

I've been using a scotoiler since 2014 on mine, that oil is designed to fling and take the dirt off with it. Have to say it works well. J

Can you take it to Honda under warranty? J

They are coming from an area where a dab of sealant should be placed. Maybe a few examples are missing this at the factory. Can easily be fixed at the first valve check service. J

Replace when it needs it. Mine could probably have been cleaned and oiled back to working order, but replacement was cheaper in terms of £/hr. J

That's just plasticiser coming out of the rubber. It'll stop eventually. Nothing to worry about. Keep it clean and enjoy the ride. J

In that case I'd go with miweber's suggestion... That way you'll know if it's an ongoing issue. J

I've never seen anything like that in mine. Are there any other points of note... Such as vibrations, leaks or sounds coming from the engine? J

Good tip! I always do this, but forgot to think of it! J

Forgot to add that I finally needed to replace a "part" after 12 years ... the clutch cable started to stick. Not bad Honda, not bad at all!

Spring clean time today. Snowfoam after wheel & chain cleaning. Headers were polished afterwards. Fairings will be getting lots of stone chips touched up before reassembly.

Funny, I'll be doing mine again soon. Dr downpipe followed by autosol. J

Pretty naff for a oil change and look over. So long as oem filter and rated grade of oil used any vat registered shop can do it, stamp the book and warranty stays valid. Shop around non-dealers. J
