The SV manual's advice of "tightening by hand until the rubber seal touches, then two full turns" always seems WAY too tight to me ...

I tighten by hand till seal touches and then half a turn with wrench, still tight getting it unscrewed sometimes.

I hand tighten and that's that. Bit of workshop roll to give me decent grip and tighten it up. No issues in 20k miles with it getting stuck or working it's way loose.

About to set about an oil change on my bike and this thread is giving me the fear! Never had a problem in 7 years servicing my own cars; now absolutely expecting to tip the bike over trying to unscrew the bugger haha.

Just whilst I'm here: Champion oil filter OK? Valvolene 10w30 fully synth? Bike is a London commuter but sees redline now and then

Think 10W-40 is recommended, don't use car oil as it has friction modifiers which could make clutch slip, also car oil does not have the gearbox additives that you need in bike oil because the engine oil is shared with gearbox.

I've just changed the oil and filter on my SV650.I used a pair of expandable pliers to get the old filter off as I wasn't going to re-use it.

I went for Motul 10w40 Motorcycle oil as I have used their oils before,with a Hi-Flow filter with a 17mm get-off from M&P Direct.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SV-650-S-X...IAAOSw8cNUS3LL


£28.19.
A little pricey but shes worth it
Ordered on Monday night.Said it should be here Friday 24th,Came this morning(Weds 22nd) 11 am ish.Text alerts for when the delivery would be here as well

On my old CX500s I used cheap 10w40 made for diesel car engines semi-synthetic oil.Similar specs as Rotella T.As this engine is younger thought I would stick with the proper stuff for now.

Yes, oil is not a place where newer is better. Read your manual and get a 10W-40 that meets the API rating that Suzuki recommend. NOT fully synth, but semi-synth.
