oil change

Hi everyone im quite the novice learning how to work on bikes so advice is greatly appreciated. I recently got my 79 gs850 running after doing an oil change and replacing the filter. The bike has a clear oil level indicator on the side. Before running I filled the bike up with 2800ml of oil, it...

A couple of days ago I tried changing the oil on my 79 gs850. It's a project bike that I recently got running and I wanted to make it in ridable condition as the oil inside was really old and worn. While taking out the bolt I learned that the oil pan had been stripped. I bought a tap which I've...

Hey there, so I've changed the oil in my 2009 Ninja 250 and also replaced the clutch cover gasket (after a mission trying to get the clutch cover off, read that here: HELP! Kawasaki Ninja 250 Stuck Clutch Cover ). After doing so I turned the bike on a let it idle, after about 5mins of idling in...

Hey guys, i have a Yamaha R3 (321cc) and i always used to put full synthetic oil Eurol 10w40. Recently they told me to try motul semi synthetic Sae 10w40 but there is nothing that shows its made for motorcycles. The seller told me that it works for motorcycles and since i have a small engine...

Hello everyone. I've got a 2005 Suzuki C50 with 5700 Miles on it. I am going to do 4 year service on it which is: Change the Oil and Filter and Change the coolant. (I know I should have done it in 2009, but that was when I bought it.) First question. Do I need to put Suzuki Oil in my...

I just changed the oil on my 1985 Yamaha Maxim. Now when I start it there is a strange noise. (Note: I drained the oil and tried to get the oil filter off but broke the cheap socket I had and decided to just fill it back up with the old filter, which shouldn't be that dirty. It sat empty for...

I bought a Suzuki C50 last weekend from a private individual. Its a 2005 with 805cc engine and I trailered it home and rode it around the block a couple of times (not more than 5 min) but I got out the book and was checking fluids and the bike didn't seem to have any oil in the crankcase, so I...
