Oil Filter is behind a seperate cover with 3 screws - get the Honda NX250/AX1 manual before you head of for your adventure. Download is available on ADVrider

I put on some more km in the Tibetan areas of Yunnan and Sichuan. The bike holds up very well and you can push with the road tires very hard on dry dirt roads. Hurt some Prado's and Range Rover owners and added to thier maintenance bills.

I didnt added the fuel filter yet, so ran into the same problem again as the fuel tank is small for long distances in remote areas. No big problem the carb is redundant, If the main jet is blocked just drive on the choke jet. Seems the jets are similar sized.

Met some Chinese riders on Jialing 600 around KangDing, we had a blast together the last 50km into town as that was the best road in the whole area (covered 1500km). I definetly prefered the X2's easy handling for the bad but stunning roads in this part of China.
