Hi, great info! Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day.👌✌

Hello fellow gsx1400 rider, just subscribed 😀

[@tomstc]

Thanks

According to the workshop manual to do a dry refill it's 5.2 litres.

[@tomstc]

Yes that's fully drained with everything from oil cooler in my experience 5 is enough

[@scottashcroft6514]

Might seem daft but could you do a video on how to remove and refit the rear wheel? I'm new to the world of motorbikes

[@tomstc]

If I get time mate that's a good shout

[@nigelrachinger339]

The oil filter has the nut on, so why not torque it to the recommended setting??

[@tomstc]

Hi thanks for the comment, I had to go back and watch the video as it was so long ago that I made this! In the video I do say its what I do and not a recommendation, in the past I have used the torque settings and stripped threads on the filters so its my own personal choice. I never had any issues and probably did about 10 oil changes on the bike myself. I totally get what your saying though but this is just from my own personal experience. Thanks

I always drain oil from oil cooler - disable one of pipes near oil filter - about 150 ml of oil. 👌

[@tomstc]

I know that's a thing, but I have never done that. Good tip maybe will do that next time

[@akosszimandli7720]

Can i get pic from this part(draining)? Ta

[@SupraTompan]

Good video. I do not understand how that drain valve works however?

[@tomstc]

Hi thanks for the comment , it's basically replaces the drain plug altogether. It's a tap the lever just allows you to to open and close it easily

[@SupraTompan]

@@tomstc I'll figure it out, bought a mint 2002 a few days ago, love it 🤟

[@tomstc]

@@SupraTompan ah awesome great bikes do everything so well

[@maxinerahuldougall6118]

Why semi synthetic and why not a fully synthetic oil mate?

[@tomstc]

Because that is the type that is recommended, works well in these oil cooled motors

[@stephenthompson838]

How many km do you think the Suzuki gsx can do before the head may need redoing thanks

[@tomstc]

All depends on the rider and how well maintained the bike is, but I have seen some with 150k on the clock

[@thomaspownall8001]

How do I change my oil cooled radiator

[@tomstc]

On the GSX1400? To fully drain you need to disconnect the hoses connected to the radiator
