first 200 mile oil change

Want to find out what the top 3 oil filters are, who has the best prices on them and what oil should I use on this oil change.

How are Suzuki oil filters?

Thanks
 
I've got over 60K miles on Busa's since 9-06, never used anything but zuki filter and oil, and I run the piss out of my bikes. It was $26 a change since '06 the change a few weeks ago cost me $32. 200 is early, from memory I did 600, every 4K now.

So you leave all that debris from the initial break in (first 20-30 miles) for 600?:whistle:

+1, same here, good old 10w40 dino oil. I use a K&N filter, just because the nut makes eat easier to get off.

I put mine on by hand and take them off with the bike hot as heck by hand. I like it to drain well :laugh: I need to get a crush washer the next time I'm near the shop, keep reading these, I screwed the oil drain plug threads and it worries me. 7 oil changes and the original is still being used :banghead:
 
Anyone have or seen a good video on how to remove fairings for the oil change? I've never done it, sort of worries me. I saw a video on youtube however he had his kid behind the camera and it was just a step by step sort of without actually showing me exactly what and how he was taking things out.

No problem :thumbsup:

Once you do it a few times it gets a lot easier and faster. And you need to get past that part where it sounds like you're about to break something :laugh:

Compared to other bikes I've had, it's still one of the slower bikes to get the plastics off though. Takes me about 1/2 hour to get them on and off totally.

Thinking of this filter, have not decided on oil yet.

Anyone try this filter?

Suzuki filters and Q8 Oils Moto SBK Racing Fully Synthetic, Spec. 10w-50, API SL, JASO MA. from 1st service at 600 miles onwards.

I use the above make because its stocked at my local Oil Distributors at a reasonable price around £100 for 25 Litres, I don't think it matters the make as long as you know the Spec. you want.

Best regards Stretch.:laugh:
