Suzuki Boulevard C50 Gear Oil Replacement

I just got this 2008 Suzuki Boulevard C50 not too long ago and I've been recently doing a lot of routine maintenance on it to keep it in good running condition. This is one of the last maintenance that I had to do on it. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the video. I have a 2008 C50T and now I want to do this since it's so easy.

[@RandyPalma]

You're welcome, glad I could help. God bless.

Hint - *FIRST* remove your fill plug *THEN* your drain plug because if you can’t get the fill plug loose, you’re screwed because the oil is already emptied.

[@Krispy1011]

Not really - why can't you rotate the tire and fill it through the drain port?

[@Krispy1011]

my bad - I see you are correct - sorry- you would have to turn the bike over to do what I suggested!

Nice Bike! I had a 2006 C50T with all the original bags and windshield, sissybar, etc. I presently own a 2012 C50T classic. I shop at Temecula Motorsports too. Don’t see too many Suzuki Boulevards around town. Hope to see you on the road and share some stories.

Time to change your tires too......dry rot

[@RandyPalma]

Already did thanks Anthony. God bless.

[@juans3728]

That and brakes will keep you alive.

I posted my comment too soon, I see that you put in about seven oz of gear oil. thank you again.

[@RandyPalma]

You're welcome. I'm glad I could help. Thanks for watching.

[@bobwoz100]

Very nice video, thank you. What is the capacity of the rear gear box?

[@JAZJ]

Thanks for posting this video. It really did help me. In November 2022, I purchased a 2007 Suzuki Boulevard C50T VL800T and would like to know how you put a batwing faring on it. Do you have a video on how you put a batwing fairing on your bike? Many thanks.

[@renelapointe5623]

That rear tire should have been the first of the maintenance bro. Dry rot on the sidewalls is a time bomb. I'm guessing the front looks similar.

[@RandyPalma]

Old Video. Replaced the tire a long time ago with Michelin Commanders. Thanks for watching.

[@InFireTruk]

Thanks again for this video....it's going to help me when it comes time for me to change it on mine. BTW....you might want to consider new tires....looks like the back tire is dry rotted. I'm not being critical, just thinking about your safety! ( I happen to like your videos and would like to see more in the future! ) :) Peace!

[@petermccarthy3664]

I really like the batwing fairing. How tall are you to need a 9 inch screen on top. I’m 6 foot 2 so I’m interested personally. Mac

[@paulhain3327]

Hey, your tire sidewalls looked cracked. You might want to change those tires to make sure there is no dry rot in them..

[@RandyPalma]

Thanks for the input, I already changed it.

[@kelseyspencer6200]

New tires a must

[@patronyk1]

I like your fairy , what type is that and. Can you send me a link to it. Thank u

[@wmwillis3]

Not to be mean or rude, but next time, please speak louder/shout...can't hear you brother.

[@tobiasgilman4909]

Final drive gear oil isn't transmission fluid...its gear oil for the rear gears of the drive shaft. Your transmission is pieced w your engine up front. When u fill your final drive you should fill it until it reaches the threads inside the top bolt hole...when you replace the bolt..the excess will just be pushed out anyways and wasted. Otherwise good video. Nice bike.

[@stevencorry5790]

Which saddlebags are those...they look a good size.Looking for a set for my C50

[@RandyPalma]

It's made by Willie & Max Saddle Bags. It is not Lockable though. You have to create your own lock. Good luck.

[@ronaldreynolds9870]

Would u tell me how much of new fluid that u put in the DIf. In ounces. Thanks. Ron Please advise

[@RandyPalma]

Not too much. As soon as it start coming out from the top hole you should stop. It will spill a little, it’s ok.

[@BegoneJonah]

3:03 - "Oh, shit, just dropped my screw..."

[@stanodle7818]

to improve your video. Do not block what you wish to show with the oil bottle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@msiddi01]

How much oil did you have to put in it?

[@RandyPalma]

Seven to eight ounces is OK.

[@lifewithabe312]

Do you have to ride the bike to warm oil before draining?

[@RandyPalma]

Yes, it wouldn’t hurt. It’s actually good just to cycle the oil a little before replacing it.

[@lifewithabe312]

@@RandyPalma thanks

[@iggymoyanojr7145]

The sound was practically on existent and you kept putting the oil bottle infront of the camera ! Try again !

[@CENTENARIO77]

Brother ur tire is old and cracked

[@RandyPalma]

Tire has been replaced a long time ago. Thanks.

[@ingram4u2]

Dude, you need tires! Dry rotted!
