|  battery and oil help...
Ok so i got my bike yesterday, suzuki gs450L its nice, needs some cosmetic work but engine is solid...going to change the oil tomorrow...i have ordered a clymers book but wont get it for another day or two but didnt wana wait to change it...does anyone know around where the oil drainer cap is?? i saw the gas one i think but i havent seen the oil one...is it underneather or something? how many quarts do you add? im going to totally drain it and put fresh oil in. 10W30 right?? So i went to sears today and bought a new battery for the bike get home thinking that i can just slap the new battery in...then i open it and see that there is much more to it...you have to add liquid to the battery then you have to charge it..what a bummer, does anyone know if like interstate battery sells precharged batteries? or any other place? or do all motorcycle batteries come uncharged? should i take it to a place and have them charge it for me? or just invest in a charger? is there a special "motorcycle battery charger"? or will any kind of battery charger do? Also im assuming that motorcycles have an oil filter as well as an air filter?? is this correct? would suzuki dealerships be the only place that i could get them? Also where on the bike are they located? i really need that book haha but im so excited to get the bike running i just thought id ask you guys to try and speed the process up  Also any brand of air/oil filter better than another? should i be buying oil made for motorcycles? or would regular car 10W30 oil be fine? on the add oil cap it says to use 10W40....should i just stick with that since thats what its asking for? or does it not really matter?If you guys/gals could help me with these questions if would be greatly appreciated...especially on how many quarts to add and the battery stuff thanks a bunch! |
