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.
rodas101 Thanks so much for the kind words!! You made my night! I makes me feel good that I can be helpful👍🏻
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
Thanks my friend. You do the same👍🏻🇺🇸 Ride safe.
I've heard good things about Rotella also. Btw what year Burgman did you get?
@@yukonjack. 2006 since then I’ve sold the burgman , got acan an Spyder, sold that and got a new Goldwing , i think 30 motorcycles are enough and this Goldwing will be my last.
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.
What size are they? A link to where I could order would be nice.
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.
This is my first Burgman and your videos are the best. Thanks
Thanks so much for your kind words I appreciate it👍🏻
Very well put together.Thanks for sharing!
Excellent instructions. Short, to the point.
Thanks for watching my friend👍🏻
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.
Maaifoedie De La Rey I agree with your friend 100%
Thank you, I just purchased a burgman and I'm working on a oil change, video is very helpful.
Glad it helped. 👍🏻
Many thanks! Just changed the oil and the transmission oil on my 2012 Burgman.
gabor7286 👍🏻 great, I’m glad I was able to help😎
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.
I’m so glad that this helped you save some money👍🏻Ride safe and good luck with the Burgman.
Been using Shell Rotella for years (30+) based on the recommendation of my motorcycle dealer and have had no issues, great choice! Awesome video!
Thanks you sir! Thanks for watching my channel👍🏻
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 !!!
I have a video for that
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.
Awesome love to hear those stories! Thanks for your comments and thanks for watching!
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.
Larry Salomon Thanks for watching and thanks for your support 👍
Larry Salomon hi . Why are you on your 3rd Bergman? Is it because they broke? I'm looking to trade in my very reliable klr650 but your comment makes me wonder . Could you explain please . Thanks .
Larry Salomon I’m not on my third Burgman I bought the Burgman 400 for $300 because it had been abused and was in pretty bad shape and I resurrected it (check out the video on the repairs). I ended up giving that scooter to my wife and bought a used 2012 Burgman so in reality I’ve only had the two Burgmans and I love them👍 thanks for the question I hope this helps and thanks for watching👍
Byron Jolly Every time I sold one,I would purchase a motorcycle....after a while, I would miss the Burgman so would buy another..
They seem quite easy to sell...they are very reliable, never had any problems with mine...right now Bryon, I own three bikes and my new Burgman
I ride the Burgman most of the time....great bike...........
Thank you for the video demonstration. Very helpful.
Thanks for watching my friend👍🏻
+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
Donald Jones That’s good to hear I’ve had good luck with it as well but I just didn’t want to offend any of the purests out there😎
Thank you for video. good job!
Hey thanks man, I just bought a 650 Burgy and will do all my oil changes, awesome scooters
I’m glad I could help my friend 👍🏻
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.
You still have to really crank on the aftermarket ones too or they will leak. More than 3/4
I wasn't going to subscribe, because I have the 400. That I feel now would be a mistake. You have an active channel. And very valuable.
What tool do you use to tighten the filter?
You should not ever have to use a tool to tighten an oil filter on a motorcycle or scooter
A video on the oil change and the spark plug change with a great help thank you
You bet👍🏻 so glad it helped.
Thank m’y friends .il have Bergman 650 and your vidéo is very interesting for m’y. François from Quebec 🇨🇦
Thank you my friend! And thanks for watching! 👍🏻
Good job on the oil change video, liked it. Over in Desert Edge, with my New to me 2018 400. So far looking 👍 good.
Great glad to hear it! Ride safe and thanks for the kind words 👍🏻
Dude... nice work! Thanks from Texas! May Jesus Christ bless you.
COMB0RICO thanks so much for your kind words. 👍 I pray that Christ blesses you too!
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,
It’s not really necessary to remove the lower faring for an oil change. I did this to open up more of the undercarriage for the video and in doing so I made it a little confusing for viewers. Thanks for the kind words and good luck with your bike👍🏻
Excellent video, information
Thanks for watching and the kind words 👍🏻
Thanks buddy...Good work!
Greg Carpenter thanks for your support and thanks for watching.
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.
Amen brother👍🏻 i’ve had nothing but luck with it🇺🇸
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.
In the comments I explained why I removed the plastics more for demonstration I probably should’ve clarified that in the video. Thanks for watching 👍🏻🇺🇸
That said,I think removing the plastic and replacing the plastic clips/fasteners if you haven't done it before is great. Literally, all of my clips were missing or broken on my brand new to me, used bergman LOL. I don't know exactly how important they are but I feel better knowing they are all in good shape.
thanks for doing this, I have just done a service on my 2015 executive 👍
Glad I could help! Thanks for the kind words. That keep me going my friend 👍🏻
@@ManCaveMayhem no problem at all, all the best from the uk 😁👍
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 .
Thanks for the info and thanks for watching👍🏻
Great video...thanks
Chad Bolling Thanks for the kind words and the support 😎
Great info
Thanks for the kind words, my friend. I appreciate your comments. I’m glad it was helpful.👍🏻
Good looking bike
Thanks my friend 👍🏻🇺🇸
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
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.
Yes for sure because it is a wet clutch!
For the record, Rotella carries the Jaso-MA certification, which means it is a motorcycle oil in addition to being a diesel oil.
That is absolutely true👍🏻
Very thanks you sir for this informations (y)
Nice video, thanks. One question....what size oil filter wrench?
Thanks
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.
Diogenes415 I love it for bikes👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks looks easy enough John in Lincolnshire England
I hope it helps my friend 👍🏻
Once you take out the oil plug to drain do the clutch drain together with the engine oil combine? Thank you
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.
Yes, that Rotella is very good oil👍🏻
The manuel calls to replace the seal washer or crush washer. What is your advice and where do i those washers?
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!
Unfortunately I’m out of town right now but I will definitely put it on the list. Thanks for watching and ride safe👍🏻🇺🇸
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.
Rotella is great stuff and affordable. Thanks for your comments and thanks for watching 👍🏻
Can you do a rear shock change on video please? Thanks...
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.
I pull the plastics so it would be easier to see the location of things. You can see that I mention that in my description.
I have a 2014 650 burgman need to learn how to do this myself
Peter Nickname it’s actually pretty easy and you don’t need to pull all those covers off to get to the oil filter I did that actually so you could see things better so it’s even easier than it looks. Thanks for watching and hope this helps.😎👍🏻
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.
skyeric875 I removed the covers for demonstration purposes so people can see where everything is located.
What is the seat you have installed? That looks super comfy
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!
Ride safe my friend and keep the rubber side down.
I mean't to ask about the seat on your bike. Looks comfy! Any info?
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
It’s a big crazy process. I need to probably do a video on that. Not sure when I can get to it though. I personally have not done it but I need to replace my seat shock.
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? 😢
Not sure why it saying that🤔
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.
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
Thanks for posting this, but why did you cut out the most difficult part, which is removing the plastics?
You can actually do that oil change without removing all the plastics. I took off the lower parts for better viewing.
Shell Rotella is great stuff, run it in everything
It is great stuff👍🏻
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
That seat was custom ordered from the previous owner. It is called a Russell day long seat/saddle and they are on the Internet. They custom make seats for all kinds of bikes.
Thanks for this useful video, just one question : it's necessary to change the oil transmission ?
akarim55 Yes it is
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?
It’s a very comfortable seat. It’s called a Russell day long and the seat was custom-made by the company. The previous owner had it made.
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
Rotella T4 is a non-synthetic oil Rotella T5 is a synthetic blend and Rotella T6 is fully synthetic. It’s oil that’s designed for diesel trucks but works in wet clutch applications. So it’s good to use for motorcycles.
Please provide your SOURCE for a printed 650 service manual !
joe doakes I got the manual with the bike from the previous owner.
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
Patrick Mailhot I never have changed the water pump on the Bergman I don’t think it’s something that needs to be serviced that frequently as long as you keep up on the coolant change. As Far as darksiding is concerned It does affect the handling a bit but as long as you’re not doing a lot of twisties and sharp corners it wears very well and handles well. Hope this helps. thanks again for watching.
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
Clean it up and locate the leak. Then work from there. I would go through everything carefully and find the source of the leak. It may be dripping on your hot exhaust. But it’s hard for me to tell not being there to inspect it myself.
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?
Don Elenburg yes I believe it’s an aluminum one.
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 👍
corey foss sometimes oil from the crankcase can get into the cylinder if the bike was on it’s side for awhile causing it to smoke but it should burn off and the smoke will dissipate after it runs for a while.
What type of seat do you have? recently got a 06 burgman 650 ik this video is about oil change but that looks amazing
The seat is a custom-made seat and the company is Russell day long saddles
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
Yeah they put those filters on super tight I’ve actually had mine come loose on me so keep an eye on it.
@@ManCaveMayhem I run that same type of filter apparatus on A 2002 CB919 Honda motorcycle and never had one come loose hope it does not happen on this bike your channel has helped me I've never owned a bike like this
@@blackwolf3302 I’m sure it will be fine. Thanks again for watching👍🏻
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.
The problem is I’m limited for time. Retirement is coming soon though and I hope to be able to do many more videos about the bike. I hope this helps. Thanks for your support port it doesn’t go unnoticed. Unfortunately my GIvi top case does not have lights.
@@ManCaveMayhem Ahh no problem. Hope retirement treats you well. Thanks for the videos anyway, love it. Is there one for the brake pads that I'm missing? I'm sure brake pads are stupid easy but it's nice to see a video and scope out the work beforehand. If nothing else at least I know what tools to bring.
@@psychoticjester no I don’t have that yet but that would be a good one for the future.👍🏻
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..
It is a custom seat made by russel day long saddles. Kind of pricey. The previous owner had it made.
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?
Ray Bush it’s factory, unless the previous owner made the mod but I doubt 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?
I’m not sure. I think there was a redesign in 2014.
Excellent diy. Makes me want a burgman bad. Hahaha
Blood Eagle I’m liking that 3 HUNDO of yours🏍
Thank you sir. I do enjoy the heck out of it.
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.
No, I have never had that issue. Have you tried cleaning the sensor itself?
@@ManCaveMayhem I will try that once I find out where and how many I have. Luv ur videos. Very educational.
Thanks my friend
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.
You have to remove a ton of plastics to do that. Maybe I can do one in the future👍🏻
what a wild seat! what is it and is it comfotrable? is there a review of it?
It’s a Russel Day long seat. It’s super comfortable and was pretty expensive according to the guy I got the bike from. I will have to make some time to do a video on the seat exclusively👍🏻
I was told diesel oil has more detergents in it and might foam in a high reving engine .
I’m not sure about that I do know that Rotella is used in a lot in motorcycles and has been ran for years. I’ve never had problems with it.
Burgman 650 are the best!! thank you,,, a question , is the same oil for clutch machine ? there si no another nut, or just one
Héctor Pérez yes the clutch takes the same oil. Thanks for watching 😎
thanks mancave, continue doing the usefull and cool videos!!
@@ManCaveMayhem Hi. This is misleading.
The clutch is lubricated by the engine oil via the pipe below the sump. The transmission is a separate chamber containing only the reduction gear. The clutch is not in this box and the oil, albeit the same type, is not lubricating the clutch. Shavings of clutch plate friction segments in the transmission box is an impossibility.(your vid on transmission oil change)
Other than that small matter, I really do like your videos!
Keep safe.
Does this apply to the 2013 models also?
nolafishr In 2013 the body style changed I’m not sure if there were changes to the motor. I’m sure they’re very similar.
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
I would check it when it’s cold and it should be between the Marks. On the site glass.
Thank you for the info. I have asked many riders and some said cold and some of them said hot. I found the manual book and it says check the oil when it's hot. Thank you again.
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!!!
The seat is a custom seat that the previous owner ordered. Very pricy but very comfortable. It’s a Russell Day Long Saddle and they custom fit them to your specs. Thanks for watching and ride safe my friend.👍🏻
What kind of seat is that
That is a Russell day long saddle, and it was custom-made for the previous owner.
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.
The Suzuki Burgman 650 tends to be a little rough riding. Maybe it’s because of the tire size or the suspension. As far as the newer bike I can’t really give an opinion because I’ve never ridden one. I have never noticed any heat coming off the bike in excess. I hope this helps thanks again for watching.
I bought a 2013 six months ago. I put 6000 miles on it so far and love it. Only two negatives I can say is the stock seat sucks and the suspension is terrible on rough roads. An air hawk seat cushion helps a ton.I love everything else about it And it can do 110 mph riding two Up
GOOD VID Thanks
What seat is that?
It is called a Russell Day Long and it was custom made for the guy I originally bought the scoot from.
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?
The seat is a custom see it’s called a Russell day long seat. They make motorcycle seats. The previous owner had it custom done.
@@ManCaveMayhem thanks I'm 6'4" 260 lbs biga butt need more space numb after 50 miles. I'm looking. Thanks for the reply
I noticed your comments about oil migration and not using synthetics. Are you still recommending this synthetic oil?
Not for the 650. Not sure if it makes a difference or not but I heard that the synthetic tends to migrate more.
Where did you get that seat on your 650.?
That is a Russell Day long saddle.
Do you know how to reset the mileage ( turn oil change light off)
Thank you!!!
Sasa Andric Yes I have a video up for that.

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.
staninjapan07 the Tupperware does not need to be removed for the oil change. I should have explained that in the video but didn’t. I wanted to show the inner workings of the bike.
Included in the term 'Tupperware', I was referring to the grey plastic upper - the central console - which if I remember correctly must come off for you to access the oil-filler cap.
Anyway, no big deal. Thanks for doing vids.
Rotella T6 it is a synthetic Diesel oil 5w/40
Rotella T6 has had a JASO MA/MA2 rating since 2015. Essentially, it IS "motorcycle oil."
Yes it has been a great oil👍
I use the same oil in my VStrom 650. Very inexpensive when purchased in the 1 gallon jug from WalMart.
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.
bigbusa1 Alot of your motorcycle synthetics are 5w/40 weight The diesel oil is has wet clutch applications and is synthetic. I’ve been running it for many miles and had no issues. But that being said I may be going back to regular Dino oil soon due to the possibility of oil migration in the crankcase. Thanks for your input and thanks for watching😎👍🏻
@@ManCaveMayhem seat maker?
bigbusa1 It’s a Russell Day Long seat and I hear they are pricy, but very comfortable.
What other scooter would you recommend instead of the burgman ? Cool video
Any name brand is a good choice. Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki etc.
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..
Those burgman’s have a lifetime belt that sometimes will break. If they do it’s expensive to fix. I would make sure all things are working properly before you make a commitment. Also there is a CVT belt filter that needs to be kept clean so that belt doesn’t overheat and break. Hope this helps. Ride safe👍🏻🇺🇸
@@ManCaveMayhem okay thank you very much. I only thought the CVT filter was on the 400. When I purchased my wife's 400. The first thing I did was replace that belt and make sure the filter was clear based on watching your videos. But yeah I will definitely tear into it and check the belt replace those gears in there just because. And hopefully that would be the only time I have to go into it.
MAURICE JOHNS The belt is a major ordeal and I wouldn’t tear into the belt but I would check on the filter and make sure that it’s good.
@@ManCaveMayhem Oh yeah, I'm aware of the extent. Personally never rebuilt or tore into a Burgman before other than my wife 400. But it's more of a project bike I'm in no big hurry it's mainly to gives me something to do this winter now that I have moved from California to Virginia. So the plan is to change, all the fluids and replacing all filters and see if I can get it started. Probably enjoy it for the rest of this year if it starts😁, and then tear into it when it starts to get cold this way I can at least enjoy it a little bit. ( I hope )
MAURICE JOHNS good luck and ride safe👍🏻
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
Sorry for the late reply I get about 60 to 65 miles per gallon on the bike conservatively. I haven’t had to spend much money on service other than tires and oil changes and fluids. I do all my maintenance. I hope this helps ride safe my friend keep the rubber side down.
@@ManCaveMayhem No worries bro.Thanks for the reply.🙏🏽
Off topic question. What seat is that??? I want one! I love your channel!!!
The company is called Russell day long saddles. I was fortunate enough to buy the bike with it already custom-made. It was made to fit the previous owner, but it suits me just fine. Beware though they are pricey.
The the seat is made by Russ all day long saddles. The previous owner put that on prior to my purchase, but it suits me just fine. Be aware, though they are very pricey! Thanks for watching. I hope this helps. I hope you enjoy the videos.👍🏻
@@ManCaveMayhem I found it on another one of your videos. Thanks!! Yea man. Your videos are great. If you’re ever down south In Louisiana let me know. Would love to ride with you and show you around. Thanks for all the great info!
