Default no oil cap on c-50 makes a mess.
So, i changed my oil the other day .... drained the oil out ... made one hell of a mess, and changed the filter. .... added oil (3.6qts) ... and fired her up ... i was going to run it for a minute to pump the filter full and then check the level ... the bike was up on a jack, i started it from the right side ... and noticed a feeling of water spraying in my face ... it did not take long to figure out it was not water, it was oil .. comming from the oil-fill hole. I shut the bike off and put the cap on ... all is good ... but I got oil everwhere lol ... bet I never do that again.
