I just got my 2025 Honda Rebel 1100 DCT back after two full weeks in the shop, and this video is the story of how a “simple” at-home oil change turned into a huge financial setback. I walk you through exactly what happened on my first oil change around 670 miles—draining the oil, swapping both filters (because the DCT has two), and reinstalling that DCT filter cover the way I thought was “doing it right.” The problem started when I borrowed a torque wrench, followed Honda’s torque specs, and watched one of those DCT cover bolts just keep turning… until it snapped off inside the engine. From there, I explain the whole domino effect: trying extraction kits with my neighbor, calling my dad for the “big guns,” breaking bits, and realizing we were risking the threads in the engine case. The dealer tried too, and in the end the only real fix was replacing the entire engine side cover—about $1,250 out of my pocket, not covered under warranty. The big takeaway? Trust your gut. In my opinion, on this DCT oil cover (Rebel 1100 and even Africa Twin with the same setup), I’m going back to “good and handtight,” because those bolts feel like they’re made out of butter and people are snapping them even when following Honda’s specs.
