The Complete Guide to a Suzuki DR350 Oil Change! | Project Quarantine Ep. 5 

THANK YOU. Was just changing mine outside & said uh oh, my spring's on the outside lol makes more logical sense to have it on the outside, pushing the filter onto the oil tube

Noticed this too and had to double check some other vids! Kind of irresponsible to leave this video up as-is! Not sure pinning this comment is enough for people to notice, and with the spring in like this video suggests your oil isn't being filtered...

Good catch, I just reassembled it as it was already done without thinking about it. Thanks!

I noticed that too thank you for clarifying! Luckily the person before me had it right

Oops. I just got this bike and changed the oil and filter as it was done in the video. Therefore, I have spring, filter then cover. Will I loose all my oil if I remove the filter and move the spring to proper position?

@@peterharris9005 You won't lose much maybe a forth of a cup, but you need to fix it. It will run and have oil pressure but your oil is not being filtered assembled that way.

@@nrf72 Excellent. I figured as much. I'll be fixing it right first thing in the morning. Appreciate your quick response.

Glad to hear it! Sounds like a great deal

@@CashedOutCars haha.. we’ll yes the bike has plenty of performance upgrades nothing cheap by any means. But what I found was a small crack along the entire casing all the way over into the transmission side. I tore it apart and whoever built it didn’t install the kick starter correctly and it binded with the flywheel or something and cracked the entire case is what I’m thinking. Literally brand new parts all over and inside this thing but a cracked block… wish I could find a stock bottom end to rebuild this with but sadly there isn’t a single one for parts in my area. Soooo it’s back to the drawing board cause for an old bike these parts are a little pricy

Thank you!

Let us know how it goes! Good luck!

Only a few shavings and otherwise a very clean screen! I was lucky!

Stay tuned for Tuesday’s video, I think you’ll enjoy it!

Thank you! I’m happy to help!

Appreciate it!

filter, spring, cover, in that order, NOT THE WAY HE SHOWS HOW TO DO IT. .

Thanks man!

You’re welcome!

I believe 98 model year or near 98 was starter only but all other models with electric start also had a kick starter

Check it when it’s level and warm!

Run for a few mins, stop engine and leave for 5 mins. Check oil level. If you do the check on a cold engine there's a good chance oil has drained rom the frame reservoir to the sump giving you a false low reading.

Buy two, fill until it’s full on the dipstick, run it for a bit and check it. You could put all in but then you risk overfilling

Sure do! This bike is a blast!

​@@CashedOutCars I really appreciate the knowledge, you are a great help and I thank you. Now I have a question if I may? I just noticed my dipstick was a little low and put an ounce or so of Castrol (with friction modifiers) into my frame tank before I knew better. Should j cancel the ride I was planning or will it be sufficiently diluted?

@@Hugh-GlassI’d think that’s such a small amount it’d be fine, but you can do some more research to be sure

@@CashedOutCars ia had the same opinion as you. And you seem like a competent mechanic so I've done the research and let n her roll. My DR is kick only but lots of fun, I just got it s month ago and finally have tags upon it, no more trailer to go riding for me!! It starts great but makes the loud tic tic noise so many of them do
