I also like the Rotella. I've been riding over 54 years had many many bikes of all breeds. Last one Honda st 1300 that I used Rotella exclusively. When I got Rid of it, it had 50k miles and still didn't use 1 but of oil. Now I have my 650 Burgman and I can't see why I should change oil type or brand. Thanks for your videos. With all the bikes I've had, I wish I had my Burgman years ago, it handles like a sport bike and it's extremely comfortable. Keep the shiny side up

Since I purchased my Burgman 650 cc a year ago, this is my favorite video to remind me how to change the oil, thanks a lot.

One thing I learned from the automotive industry, Fram filters are garbage... Bad gaskets, thin crappy paper filters, elmers glue'd cardboard inside to hold everything, and even straight out of the box, you'll find rust and metal shavings. K&N is a good filter, but Wix is the best quality oil filter out there.

Disassembly tip: You don't have to pick the center pin out in those clips. You actually push them IN to release them. You only have to push the pin in 2-3mm, you'll feel it release, then take a screwdriver and pop the clip out of the panel.

The 2 full turns on the filter is for an OEM Suzuki filter because it uses an round o-ring seal and aftermarket uses a flat rubber seal so NO, you don't go 2 full turns with an aftermarket filter. Basically just hand tighten it. You can't use the service manual instructions for non OEM Products.

Just a quick thank you for spurring me into action to do my own basic servicing on my 2010 Burgman 650. I've had my bike from new and always relied on the dealer I bought it from. They closed shop 18 months ago and the nearest dealership is a big multi make place who I find too impersonal and I wasn't happy with their service. The last time I did an oil change on a bike was about 40 years ago (I'm 71 now) but I have now changed the engine, transmission and final drive oil successfully. I'm going to tackle the coolant change next! Thanks again.

Thank you, I learned something ! Also from the comments, and your responses. A lifelong biker friend of mine, who works on his own bikes, told me you can't change oil often enough - it just pays in the long run, if you own a bike for the long haul.

I had a BSA Golden Flash 650 twin in the sixties, I always used Shell Rotella 10W30 in the engine and straight SAE 30 in the gearbox, I changed the engine oil every 4,000 miles and the gearbox every 8,000 miles with absolutely no problems at all. I did nearly 50,000 miles on that bike and only sold it when I got pissed off getting wet through and bought a car. I never put any oil in the engine between oil changes and that engine never missed a beat and started first kick every morning even in winter. It was always garaged at night ready for my early start in the morning,what a machine that was.

Been using Shell Rotella for years (30+) based on the recommendation of my motorcycle dealer and have had no issues, great choice! Awesome video!

Great video on the oil change , Thinking pretty strong about buying a 650 Burgman , They look and by all of the reviews are a very good and fun vehicle to drive !!!

Very well put together.Thanks for sharing!

This is my first Burgman and your videos are the best. Thanks

+1 on the Rotella T-6, I have used it for over 80,000 miles on my Honda GL1800 Goldwing, being synthetic I never had to worry about changing the oil if on the opposite coast, have gone up to 12,000 miles. Plan on using it on my 2004 650 I just got. Thanks for the videos

Many thanks! Just changed the oil and the transmission oil on my 2012 Burgman.

Thank you, I just purchased a burgman and I'm working on a oil change, video is very helpful.

Excellent instructions. Short, to the point.

I’m really enjoying these videos. And learning a lot along the way. I’m on my 3rd Burgman 650. Love these bikes. Thank you.

Thank you for video. good job!

Thank you for the video demonstration. Very helpful.

The superb Shell Rotella T6 you are using is outstanding because it is JASO/JASO2 Certified, which applies to motorcycle engines with wet clutches. I personally used Rotella T4 (15W40) with Fram Tough Guard (TG7317) oil filters in my 2008 Kawy ZZR600 with zero issues when I used to live in the Phoenix Metro Area.

Hey thanks man, I just bought a 650 Burgy and will do all my oil changes, awesome scooters

thanks for a great video, I am planning to buy one in the next few weeks, fingers crossed, and I like the disclaimer!!! it is a save issue, less work. But thanks for the detailed video of removing the lower fairings. Thanks,

Good job on the oil change video, liked it. Over in Desert Edge, with my New to me 2018 400. So far looking 👍 good.

The manuel calls to replace the seal washer or crush washer. What is your advice and where do i those washers?

Helpful video. You can change the engine and transmission oil without removing any plastic, except the maintenance lid. The transmission oil can be refilled through the oil level plug, which is accessible with all plastic in place. I use aluminum crush washers on the plugs, if necessary. I stick to Motul 5100 or Motul 7100, and use a good quality filter.

Nice video, thanks. One question....what size oil filter wrench? Thanks

Once you take out the oil plug to drain do the clutch drain together with the engine oil combine? Thank you

Dude... nice work! Thanks from Texas! May Jesus Christ bless you.

Thank m’y friends .il have Bergman 650 and your vidéo is very interesting for m’y. François from Quebec 🇨🇦

Personally I would follow the recommended weight oil , the passage ways the motor determines the oil pressure . When they engineer a motor oil weight is a main factor in it's design . Good DIY vid .

A video on the oil change and the spark plug change with a great help thank you

For the record, Rotella carries the Jaso-MA certification, which means it is a motorcycle oil in addition to being a diesel oil.

Use an oil extractor, makes oil changes so much easier. Don't use Fram filters, they are junk. Go for a WIX filter. I would use AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke 10W-40 Synthetic Scooter Oil

Excellent video, information

Is that a stock seat and will it fit an 08 model?

Hello can u help me with my 2005 kymco super s LC I need a good website for a piston kit

Interesting machine, the Burgman. On the oil - the key thing to avoid is any oil with an API label that says: “Energy Conserving” or anything like that. That label indicates the presence of additive that will cause the wet clutch to slip.

What is the seat you have installed? That looks super comfy

Thanks buddy...Good work!

I mean't to ask about the seat on your bike. Looks comfy! Any info?

thanks for doing this, I have just done a service on my 2015 executive 👍

I've been using Rotella for decades in my bikes and some have done well over 100K miles with plenty of life left in them. IMO it's a great oil for motorcycles with a wet clutch.

Thanks for all the videos I just picking up not that a week ago. It's my first bike. I really like that seat. How is it compared to stock?

You don't have to remove any of the plastic to change the motor oil and transmission oil. To fill the transmission oil just use a gear lube bottle and a hose, glue it on and you'll never need to take it off.

Great video...thanks

Thank you so much for this video. I changed both engine oil and transmission oil after watching your videos. I have the exact same model, same year, as yours. I have a huge favor to ask. Can you make a video on how to reset the time on the dash? I have a 2009 owner's manual in PDF and a correct service manual in PDF, but I could never find the 2012 Suzuki Burgman 650 Executive Owner's Manual online for free, and could never figure out how to change the time on the dash on my own. Thanks again!

Very thanks you sir for this informations (y)

Just wondering if you ever change the water pump on the burg and how big of job it would be and seen your video about dark winding with the car tire if it make a big difference on handling of burgman

Thank you for your expertise Looking forward to do my own now. Quick question, where did you get the seat? Any info on it Love it I want one Thanks

Great info

Thanks for this useful video, just one question : it's necessary to change the oil transmission ?

I've had numerous bikes and have always used Rotella T6. It's great stuff and is reasonably priced. Only time I didn't was when I had a Moto Guzzi that required some weird weighted oil.

Hello did the seat come on your scooter or did you order it and if so where did you order it from? Thanks for the video because I'm new to scooters and motorcycles. Great video!!!

Good looking bike

Hey Larry, I changed my oil and transmission/clutch oil and found what looks like a drain plug crush washer in the bowl after I was done. Stupid questions: Does the engine drain plug have one? Does the transmission/clutch drain plug have one? Does the transmission/clutch oil level drain have one?

Had to replace the rectifier. Took almost the whole thing apart to get to it. Now that it's back together and working, it says oil change 🤦🏽‍♀️. Is it possible it says that since the battery was dead or do I really need to take it back apart again? 😢

What type of seat do you have? recently got a 06 burgman 650 ik this video is about oil change but that looks amazing

Can you do a rear shock change on video please? Thanks...

I noticed that the small cover on your primary drive adapter or coupling or what ever it’s called has been flipped over as though it’s had the dieseling mod done to it. Is this factory? Or did you do the mod?

Thank you for the video. At the moment I own 2 bikes, a cruiser and a street bike and have been thinking of replacing them with a Burgman 650 executive. If you can answer a couple of questions for me please. Years back I test drove a 2007 and on the bad roads I drove the suspension was not that good, any solution for that ? Also, do you get any bothersome heat coming off the bike on hot days ? Finally, what is your opinion on 2012 vs 2013 and newer model. Thanks again.

a note or 2 , you dont have to pull the plastic. #2 to change the clutch oil, you can use a fluid transfer tool.(i have used a brake bleeding suction tool. you maty not get it all , but as often as your changing it it should be good.

Hey I have a 2003 Suzuki Burgman 650 I was wondering if you knew how to take off the left side plastic where the gas door is because I need to take mine off to get to the regulator

I use the same Rotella oil in my 650 Burgman, a 2011. Just make sure whatever oil you use has the oi spec JASO M/M2.

I an form taiwan , I learn so much form ur videos , by the way , could u please tell me the difference between rotella ck-4 e9 5/6 and cj4/sm 5 ? I ride an650 2010

Hello from Toronto Ontario. Canada.. I see on your video the seat. It's a lot different than what the bike comes with.. I have a 2010 burger..man . Lol.. Is that yours? Where can I find one.. Cheers! Love your videos..

Personally, I keep it simple. I use only the "Brand Name" Filter and Oil. Yes, it is a little more costly, but not bad. In my Honda, I use Honda Oil and Filter. Same for my Kawasaki Mule Side-by-Side, I use on my property. I've never had an issue by using the Manufacture's Products. And yes, I know they do not make their own oil. I just know it is what they recommend to use. Just easy for me! Peace all. Have fun out there!

I just bought my 650 and they wasn’t honest and after I got the bike I noticed it’s been laid down it still rode good just dinged up lil bit then my son knocked it over now it’s smoking out the exhaust kind of a blueish colored smoke 💨 does this sound like something that would happen due to being knocked over or should I be concerned about something much worse being wrong thanks for your videos they are great 👍

Thanks looks easy enough John in Lincolnshire England

I just purchased 2007 from a guy and discovered it is leaking from somewhere not sure where but i took it on the road yesterday and when i got it up to about 40 it started smoking really bad thick smoke too any ideas? After reaching out to the seller he said it never did it before

Roughly, how much would a dealer charge for an oil and filter change? I’m thinking about buying a Bergman… Just doing some research.

Your videos have been great. I just purchased a 2008 berg exec and I got through my oil, trans, and final drive oil change. My Berg came with a Givi top box with lights that aren't hooked up. Do you have videos or could you make one for hooking that up? I saw ledudes stuff but, I just can't follow his videos as well as I can your videos.

I noticed your comments about oil migration and not using synthetics. Are you still recommending this synthetic oil?

what a wild seat! what is it and is it comfotrable? is there a review of it?

In the service manual it said that the 2013 and up are 200 lbs heavier than the 2012 and older. What makes them heavier?

Had to watch again. I have a question about the seat. Is it a stock seat for the executive and will it fit the AN650?

What other scooter would you recommend instead of the burgman ? Cool video

Does this apply to the 2013 models also?

Thanks for posting this, but why did you cut out the most difficult part, which is removing the plastics?

Burgman 650 are the best!! thank you,,, a question , is the same oil for clutch machine ? there si no another nut, or just one

What is the advantage of using full synthetic oil. Would you recommend it or not.

I have a 2014 650 burgman need to learn how to do this myself

I have a 2018 Suzuki Burgman 650 Executive model. I was wondering if you had to chance your ABS Sencers? My light is staying lit.

Mancave, Mine shows completely no oil when it's cold but when i turn on the engine, i can see the oil level is rising. Should i check the level after i turned of the engine or should I wait for a couple of minutes to coll down before checking the oil? Thanks

What seat is that?

Please provide your SOURCE for a printed 650 service manual !

Where did you get that seat on your 650.?

What kind of seat is that

Hi,im new here.Thinking of getting a 2017 burgman 650 but i dont know a single thing. Is the maintanance expensive?I heard theres a inner belting and it is expensive to service it. Hows the petrol consumption? Help pls

Diesel oil has different peak temperature and cold start lubrication points, they are designed for different applications than a petrol engine and vary in the viscosity to meet 'diesel engine characteristics' requirements ONLY. Have you ever met a reputed mechanic that does this ? No, Never. There is a reason for it and you learn that in mechanical and automotive engineering.

Hey I have a 2003 Suzuki Burgman 650 is the wix oil filter a good one to use for my bike and also is mobile 1 4t full synthetic motorcycle oil 10w40 good for my bike??? Thanks and ride safe brother

Do you know how to reset the mileage ( turn oil change light off) Thank you!!!

Hello, would you happen to know where the battery is located? I need to charge my 650, but can't remember where it is. I used to have the 400, and upgraded to my husband's 650 when he moved to a BMW motorcycle. We are no longer together, and I do not know how to charge the scooter :( I thought if I could figure out where the battery is located, I could try to charge it. Under the seat possibly? Thank you...

I just had my local dealer install 2 tires and do an oil change on my 05 burgman 650. $475 total. Great video but if the manual calls for 10/40 why would you put 5/40 diesel oil in it? That's silly. Spend a few more bucks and get a good 10/40 from your local walmart when you get your filter. ALSO WHAT IS THAT SEAT!? it looks so comfy! I have been using a RoHo Large inflatable seat cushion (w/the stock seat) but they're expensive and only last about 18 months. I was going to sell my burgman this year but it's been such an awesome scooter that I've decided to keep it for another season at least. The efi (no carburetor) guarantees a quick, smooth start every time. Ethanol does not negatively effect this fuel system even during long winter storage like carbureted engines. I've owned my burgman for about 8 years and can't say enough good about it. I do hate the overly hard stock seat though.

Have a question hopefully you can answer. I am about to purchase a 2003 Burgman 650 that has been sitting roughly five years. Other than the obvious changing all the fluid and plugs and tires what should I be looking for as far as possible things needing to be fixed? The person I'm getting it from says his father couldn't ride is Harley any more so he decided to get the Burgman and still had issues riding it so it's been sitting underneath his balcony covered up..

I can't find any video on how to replace the seat strut on the 650cc Burgman. It's not as easy as it should be.

Where did the nice seat come from?

Removing Tupperware for an oil change? That seems like a likely cause for damaging the Tupperware after just a few changes. How easy it is on my Suzuki V-Strom compared to this. I hadn't considered that a big scooter might require this, but now I am thinking of swapping my V-Strom for a big scooter, info like this is handy. I would leave it to the dealer for the duration of the warranty as it's a condition, but after that I'd do it myself. Wet clutch and wet CVT, too? That's what it looks like from that line diagram on the bike body. I must have misunderstood that. Thanks for the video. EDIT O.K., I have just watched the other two videos of yours about oil changes. I can see that the above mentioned diagram did not show oil for the CVT (which would be ridiculous) but rather it was final drive oil, which makes perfect sense. Thanks.

Shell Rotella is great stuff, run it in everything

Thanks for the Oil change Video it helped I just purchased my 2007 Burgman 650 this video showed the oil change along with the transmission fluid change I am using Amsoil Synthetic 10 /40 * NOTE * my oil filter was on so tight I had to put 6 screw driver holes in it just so I could get it off I could not get it off easily

Off topic question. What seat is that??? I want one! I love your channel!!!
