The CRF250 Man Funnel™
Honda has raised the bar with their latest addition to their line up. The CRF250 is following in the footsteps of its big brother. Fast, reliable, high performance and a pain in the neck to change the oil.

The transmission drain bolt is tucked up under the motor and recessed a few inches. During a routine oil change draining the oil can quickly become a messy task as the oil flows directly onto the frame rail and all over the stand, floor or worse yet, it pools in your skid plate.

The CRF250 Man Funnel eliminates the mess associated with draining the transmission. The funnel slips under the tranny drain bolt oil by clipping onto the frame rail and extending under the drain bolt creating a bridge between the gap of the drain hole and frame rail. Once the drain plug is pulled, it routes used oil out and away from the bike with out the mess.

As with all of the Man Funnels it acts as a filling funnel to put oil back in the bike as well. It works on both transmission and motor fill holes.

Is it going to add horsepower? NO. Is it going to make you faster? NO. Will it save you time, frustration and clean-up? Oh God YES!

Step 1: Proper Fit
After cleaning all dirt from the bike that may prevent proper fitting. Heat the bike per specification in owners manual. Then install the funnel as shown. (see image 1, 2, 3 & 4)

A proper fit is key to success. Insert the funnel at a 90 degree angle to allow the frame rail guides to clear the frame.

Continue rotation until the funnel locks into place. The first few times you install the funnel it will be a tight fit. Take your time to avoid damaging the funnel.

Once the funnel is in place ensure that the left wall of the funnel is flush with the case and the rear of the funnel is seated properly around the transmission drain bolt.
 

Step 2: Drain the Transmission Oil
With your drain pan under the funnel and remove the transmission drain bolt. Allow oil to drain completely.

Step 5: Install the Motor Oil Drain Bolt
Reinstall drain bolt to MFG specified torque.

Step 6: Fill With Oil
Use the Man Funnel to fill the transmission and motor oil. Insert the Man Funnel into the fill hole. Pour in your new oil as per specified by your manual for both type and amount. By using the funnel for filling you reduce the risk of knocking dirt and or debris into the fill hole with your oil and it is much easier and cleaner than pouring from a bottle or ratio cup.
