Change the Oil in a Vintage Honda CB100

I've had this bike for a while and have decided it's time for an oil change as I've not done that yet on this bike. so here we go.
first, it helps to have a service manual... for capacities and torque specs

Drain the Oil

Remove Kick Stand

to remove the clutch cover to access the centrifugal oil filter you'll need to remove the clutch side crankcase cover. This requires the removal of the kick starter, the foot pegs and the exhaust system.

Loosen Screws on Clutch Cover

Make sure you use the correct screwdriver there are many types of "phillips" screws. they are NOT the same. These screws are easy to strip the phillips head. after some rummaging I was able to find the correct screwdriver and removed all the screws

Whack It!

breaking loose the cover is easy with a couple taps of a rubber mallet

Save the Gasket!

I didn't have a replacement gasket on hand so I tried to save as much of the gasket as possible and will be sealing it with gasket maker upon reassembly.

Clean It!

clean out any sludge you see as well as anything you might find in the centrifugal filter

Back Together!

I'm pretty sure that this is from my grandpas time and probably highly toxic but it works wonders!

clean the screen well and check for any metal filings.

Shine It Up!

before putting the bike back together I decided to do some polishing... it's easier with the parts off... and why not?

Test Ride!

After putting the bike back together and  filling the fluids of course!
after a short ride make sure everything is torqued correctly and there are no leaks! and you're done.
