Oil and filter change - Suzuki Boulevard C109RT

This is a simple step by step process to change engine oil and filter on a Suzuki Boulevard C109RT also known as Suzuki VLR1800 or Intruder. The same should be applicable to an M109R as well. Engine oil grade: 10W40 with JASO MA or MA2.

Hey mate, thank you for the video, you're a legend. Do you think you could also put up or at least inform me as to where to find the coolant reservoir? I can't seem to find it nor can I find any pictures of it installed on the bike.

Im loving your content about the c109 and would appreciate it if you'd post more basic maintenance videos like ( supension adjustments/service, air filter replacement etc ).
Just bought mine, an 08 with 4k miles and it seems to have a surge/ hesitation in the first 3 gears at low/ steady rpms. It seems like a common issue on both the c109 and m109 according to some forums. Do you have that issue with yours?
Thanks in advance.

So oil level is to the bottom mark of dipstick, correct?

[@MrJaxco]

I believe that is just for checking his initial fill to know not to overfill the oil. If ya think about it, twisting it down from there will probably put the oil right in the middle of those cross hatches. So properly filled when touching the bottom of dipstick before tightening it down.
