495 miles on the clock. picked up oil and filter on the way home. fired the bike up rode it around for about 15 minutes to get it warmed up. got home took it apart dropped the oil and filter, put a little oil in the filter, filled it up to spec. fired it up and no oil pressure after about 10 seconds and was starting to make a little noise so I shut it down. waited a few minutes and did it again, still no oil pressure. called the dealer and they gave me some crap about not letting them do it and then started asking questions. told them the same thing as above. told me to crank it up wile on the phone and to look at the oil level glass wile it was running. I did and he said it should drop when it started. it didn't then he told me to rev it just a bit, I revved it to about 2000 rpm and it started to make a lot of clunking noise and still no oil pressure. anyone else had this problem?

I wouldn't start playing with it till the warranty period is over....It is good you have a descent dealer or he could just say sorry now it is your problem
filter went on great and snuged up like any.

Dayuuum man, you're in a spot,prolly should have put the original filter back on and took it to the dealer.
sounds like yer oil pump went south...
I've never heard of a filter killing a pump on start up thou...
Try re-installing the old filter...who knows?
If you end up repairing it yer self, re and re of the oil pump wouldn't be impossible. I believe it lives under the clutch.Its gear driven , so there is no chain to mess with. It wouldn't be too bad.

Take it to the dealer as is. It's under warranty. If the the new filter you put on is the problem, document everything and file a claim with Fram. Either way you are covered.
Keep us posted.

What he ^ said.
Fram? Geezus man dont be so fvcking cheap. Use an OEM filter they are not THAT much more.
Ok, I am not 100% but I have heard that Suzuki will not warranty it if you dont use an OEM filter...just to be safe
id throw a Suzuki on there.
Fram blow man, for the love of God man, please stop using their products.

Thanks for all the replys. I couldnt wait, it was just looking at me so I pulled it back apart and took the filter off. It all looked OK so I bumped it over, to see if it would spit oil out and it did.
so I spun the filter back on and fired it up. the oil light went off instantly. I ran it for a few minutes and no problems. I put everything back together and rode it around for a wile. I didn't hear any funny sounds so I twisted it up a few times and everything seems to be ok. The only thing I can figure is the oil pump vapor locked or something. Who knows. Ran it around shut it off and restarted many times through the day and its a ok. Go Figure. Again thanks for all the replys, you guys are great!
P.S. think I might take it in for the first service now.

I may just be paranoid, but I would still bring it to the dealership even if everything is going o.k. right now. Tell them you had no oil presure but now it seems fine and you want them to check it out. This way you have documentation that something went wrong during the warranty period just in case it goes south once it's out of warranty. Worth a shot.
