Nice video and bike but the best thing about this video is your boy in the background making motorcycle sounds while you work. Reminds me of my own grandson. Man that made my day. Stay safe.

Only problem c90 in older models has been electrical failures, like stator , charging problems that’s I checked on social media from genuine buyers and from mechanic reviews, I like it as I have c50, best trouble free bike just changing engine oil in time, only I get scared of buying c90 is electrical failure issues.

[@zx11ninja]

Greetings. I have the exact same 2005 Suzuki C90 that you do. As I need to perform my first oil change, I commend you for making this video. If you don't mind my asking, where does the height of your windshield meet your person? Is it below your chin? The reason I ask is because I'm preparing for a 500+ mile round-trip day ride. While doing a 120 mile ride home at night a few weeks ago, I discovered that my vision at night is not clear enough due to the fact that the height of my stock windshield is at/slightly above my eyes. Also, with the stock windshield, there is a lot of air buffeting at 65+ mph. You said you have a Memphis Shades "Batwing." Does it help to reduce the air buffeting and make your ride quieter at highway speeds? What is the exact model number that you acquired? Also, you said you have a Mustang seat. What's the longest single-day ride that you've taken? Did the Mustang seat keep you comfortable? I need a seat that can not cause me cramps after a 1000+ mile ride. Any information you can provide is greatly appreciated. Take care. -Z

I have question . My brother is watching your video to change oil on his Suzuki blvd . He took a plug out that’s under his oil filter. He said some oil came out about 1/2 quart. He now knows that wasn’t the oil drain plug. But doesn’t know what he drained out when he removed the wrong plug .

[@amidwestfamily112]

Sounds like he removed the banjo bolt to the oil cooler line. I would clean it really good and reinstall it, he might have to get a new crush washers for it but he could give the old ones a try.

[@JackieMuaythai]

Fantastic video ,How often should I change the oil normally?Thank u.

[@amidwestfamily112]

I would say that depends on how many miles you put on in a season, but the best practice is at the intervals the operating manual says.

[@legionrider239]

I live in Ohio. Where in the midwest you at? I have an 08 boulevard C50 and I love it. Thanks for showing us how to change the oil. I will do my own now.

just bought a 08 i like that batwing fairing was it a pain in the ass to put on is there certain part number

It wasn't bad installing it. It is a Memphis shades batwing with the quick latches for quick removal or installation. I also have the curved windscreen and the lower air deflectors. I ordered everything from the Memphis shades website.

[@mackenzieharmon826]

@@amidwestfamily112 OK thanks dude for the input

[@buffalodebill1976]

If you just change the oil, then it's 3,9 US qt. If you change the filter as well, it should be indeed those 4,5 US qt (btw I only wet the filter gasket - the extra oil in is not necessary, but doesn't hurt either, though). For overhauls, it's recommended to put it 5,3 US qt. For Brits these translate to 3,3 imp qt, 3,8 imp qt and 4,4 imp qt, respectively. For us, EU guys 😙 these values are 3,7l, 4,3l and 5,0l, respectively. Thumbs up to - in order of appearance - the fun rascal of a kid, a shy wife to be adored and a cool black dog. Also.. Have you considered getting a cat or two? Just to spice things up? 😀 Ride hard & ride safe.

[@richherrera3844]

What saddle bags you got on there?

[@amidwestfamily112]

They are boulevard brand that was on the bike when I bought it. A soft leather none lockable internal metal frame. They aren't terrible but I would like some larger lockable more weather proof bags, but with the exhaust I got without thinking about it come up to much. So I would have to buy another set of pipes before I could put larger bags on.

[@richherrera3844]

@@amidwestfamily112 right on, thanks for the reply. Been searching for a larger set too. There’s just no where local where I’m at to compare size and fitment on mine either. Nice bike!!

I would rather be safe than sorry. 👍

Because is not 4,5 it is 4!!!😢 I just checked on mine unfortunately all owners do this mistake to put 4,5 quarts but in reality 4,5is too much I have one sz bv 2005 1500 CMC and I am an engineer mechanic.Always check the level!!

Wrong engine oil,not for for big V twins!

[@amidwestfamily112]

Why would you say that? Per the owners manual on page 2-3 it says to use 10w-40 in a API of SF or SG, or a 10w-40 in a API of SH or SJ or JASON MA. On the mobile 1 racing 4T bottle is a 10w-40 in a JASON MA/MA2 with an API SN. If it was a Harley I would agree that it would be the wrong oil, but since it is a metric bike they use different oil. 🤔

[@skysky-go3kl]

4,5 quarts is too much,chech the oil level and you will see what I am talking about,it must be 4!!

[@amidwestfamily112]

Per the owners manual it takes 4.5 quarts, now it also says that if you only change the oil and not the filter it only takes approximately 3.9 quarts. Cheers 🍻
