@@ManCaveMayhem yep been trying to keep the rubber side down for the past 58 years. I’m from Northern Cal. But been here 38 years. I’ll be checking some moe of your oil change stuff latter.
Hey Larry! I just wanted to say thanks for making these Burgman service videos! I just recently got a 650 from a buddy at work who moved out of state and it had been sitting for a good while. All of your videos have been super helpful as I go though and give this thing a much needed tune-up/maintenance. I thought knowing how to work on cars would be this an easy task but I came to the realization that I don’t know jack about motorcycle engines so thanks again for all the super helpful videos! There are not many how to’s out there that I could find for this scooter and of the ones I did find yours are the best! Thanks again sir! 👍😁
Thanks for the kind words. It’s very rewarding to know that I can save people the money and the hassle of dealerships. Ride safe my friend and enjoy the scoot👍🏻
Very informative video.....saves hundreds here in Switzerland. Switzerland's technicans demand hundreds for such simple jobs as Swiss wages are historically and ridiculously high.
Your videos help me alot on doing my maintenance on my 650 burg for how to do stuff keep doing your videos love watching the info you put on your site about burgmans
Patrick Mailhot i’m glad these videos help I hope to do much more on the Bergman’s and other related videos. Thanks for your kind words and thanks for watching.😎👍🏻
Excellent video, just subscribed. I have a Burgman 650 2011 and I will be doing the same thing in your video. I did hear you say your fan was not working due to a fuse blown. My fan is not work either and when I'm driving it and comes to a stop the temperature light comes on.I checked the fan fuse next to the glove box and it's not blown. What could be the problem with the fan?
Yea its pretty simple. I recently had to change out my right front directional lamp in the mirror . when I went to the shop to pick up the new lamp. ($63.00.) I asked the mechanic at the shop how difficult it would be to change the old one out and put the new one in. he politely told me. "If your name is Wess it will probably take you several hours. If your anyone else about an hour."..hahahaha!
From one burgman owner to another (I have the same model in a 2011 as your 2012. Love your videos. just one question. how many scooters did you buy before you actually decided on your burgman? I noticed in this video you have a lot of scooters.
I’ve had quite a few motorcycles and scooters over the years along with a moped in the 80’s🤣 I probably will have more in the future, I just enjoy them. The Burgman is a great long distance machine. It’s like riding a couch and that’s what attracted me to the Burgman.

Hey.. Great video. Just a couple of questions though.. This method is realistically just drain/refill radiator an not the cooling system? Obviously if the coolant were to be complely removed/refilled then the air in the system would have to be removed (or air locks would possibly occur = overheating etc) Are there specific ways to run the engine and bleed out the air after a complete refill? Cheers again for a great video.
Mr. Man in the Cave causing Mayhem 😊 Can you please give your opinion about this gentlemen's question about air in the system as I'm about to attempt this job with your tutorial video and it caused me concern. Thanks to you I already did my oil change and transmission using the diesel oil and feel good about it. Thank you for all the effort it takes to put these videos in 👍
Thanks....I rode my bike for the first time this season...The engine light came on and the guage went all the way up....I drove it for a couple miles down hilland it cooled off...I don't know if it has a cooling fan or not.
@@ManCaveMayhem Thank you sir...I am going to have to take it in as I have too much arthritis in my hands to deal with. Luckily, I have a good mechanic who will treat me fairly!
Mine is a 2012 and it’s the last year of that body style they made some improvements to the belt so that was probably the better of the years. The newer ones are really nice though too I think they made them up till 2017 in the states.
Im considering buying a 2013 to 2016 650 Burgman, they look pretty easy to maintain is there anything to look out for with these please. I have watched three videos of you changing oil/ water vey informative thanks.
Gordon Jenkins sorry it took so long to respond. Go for low miles and condition. They are great bikes and as long as you maintain them they will treat you well👍🏻 Thanks for watching.
@@ManCaveMayhem can I ask you about a problèm I have my voltage regulator that burned out 3 times in 1 year. I also changed the alternator to a new one. I can't understand where the problem comes from.
@@ManCaveMayhem I'm wondering if you've ever had this problem. in any case congratulations for your videos I managed to do some work on my Burgman 650 even though I'm not a mechanic
Hello, could you please tell me how to remove the plastic frame covering the the thermostate housing. I can see to find any vids to help. How much of the housing do i actually remove Thanks Keith
The company It’s called Russell day long. I bought the bike with the seat on it but the original owner told me he paid $800 to have it custom-made. I guess they make it to your height and everything. I will say it’s wonderful. I hope this helps thanks for watching my friend and ride safe.🇺🇸
I think the 650 still has plenty of available parts. The 400 would also be a very good choice and is easier and cheaper if you need to do the belt. Hope this helps👍🏻
thanks for the good videos, i've been watching a few now since i just acquired a 2003 with 12'000 km's (7500 miles) on it. And I see in the background you also have a Stella, is it the 2 stroke or 4 stroke version?
I see you really like scooters! I also noticed you have a Honda Ruckus also. I thought about getting one to putt around on when I travel, and have a rectangle metal grate rack which connects to my receiver to haul it on. I also weigh 245. I have seen a couple of big guys riding them from San Clemente to Las Vegas and back, and know they are slow, so my question is,is it worth the investment?
Max Roelen They are a lot of fun but they are very slow and under powered. I weigh 180 and if I had a good tailwind it would maybe do 35. I actually sold mine but it’s a great little bike. Hope this helps thanks for watching.
What u must do not add air into radiator which u did have engine running add slowly the coolant .sweeze the rubber hoses with radiator cap off .get any air out u see if u look in top radiator.silly place to put it.
@@ManCaveMayhem , they claim that it's good for the life of the vehicle. I have used it for my hot rod . You must get all of the old coolant or water out before adding the Evans waterless coolant. Research and see what you think ? Let me know , have a great day.
Thank you! I have a 2018 Burgman 650 that has almost 14k and will need the oil and coolant change, the shop charges $150 for the oil change alone! Anyways, how many bottles does the radiator take? Thank you 😊
When I first purchased my bike my fan was binding on the radiator. You may be running into the same problem. I’m not sure it’s kind of hard to diagnose something like that when you’re not hands-on. But I would first check the fuse for the fan and make sure it’s not blown. And check and make sure that the fan is functioning properly and not binding on the radiator. I hope this helps.
@@ManCaveMayhem so I found out the fan wasn't functioning because the wire was old on the back and exposed and also the fuse was blown. Now I got a new fan to install . But does it only come on when the engine is getting to hot?
Andrew Wilson Yes the fan comes on by thermostat. usually when you’re idling in traffic or when it’s really hot out most the time you won’t hear that fan kick on.
Thanks for your videos , CAN the center stand switch throw a C 51 code ? I am stuck in first gear , I changed throw tranny oil after a very very long time AND the final gear oil after 27000 miles , duh , changed it twice ,I was told AND additive would help if it was the seals , I still suspect the center stand switch, it moves in first gear only Thanks
mike prock I hate to say this but I think a C 51 Code Has to do with your CVT Bell going bad. I’m not positive about this but that’s what it sounds like it may be. I hope this helps thanks for watching.
I recommend ordering the Suzuki long life coolant you can get it through Amazon or a dealer. Otherwise the owners manual says this.Engine Coolant: Use an anti-freeze/engine coolant compatible with an aluminum radiator, mixed with distilled water only. At least 50% anti-freeze with the water, and never more than 60% anti-freeze with the water. No alcohol based anti-freezes. Only ethylene glycol based anti-freezes.
GUILLERMO DONOSO LINARES You need to determine the source of the leak. It could be as minor as a bad radiator cap or hose or it could be a pin hole in the radiator. You may also have an issue with your thermostat. Unless I was able to look at it I would not be able to know the location of the source. I hope this helps.
There is an overflow bottle which should be visible when facing the bike, it will be on the lower right hand side behind the front tire there is a slot cut in the plastics that makes it (visible a sight window). I'm not sure if it is the same on the 2013's. I hope this helps.
HI Burgman owners....I have a 2008 650 that has the cooling fan that is worn out...can barely turn it by hand and no way to lube it....Suzuki has one for 498...plus I am gonna have to pay for installation...I have an honest mechanic....does anyone know of a cheaper aftermarket fan?
harleycharley Are you sure it’s the fan and it’s not just binding against the radiator I had the very same problem on my 2012 and I ended up putting a couple washers on the frame Of the fan which was bent slightly and the blades were rubbing on the radiator Causing my fuse to blow.
@@ManCaveMayhem ....thanks...but my mechanic is a good friend and is certified by all the Japanese companies and Harley....If he says it is toast, it is....I had read several other people said the same thing...He said there is nothing binding and no provision to oil the bearings as they are sealed...It's hard to believe the cost of the fan, cut it's cheaper than a new bike and i LOVE my 650....most fun of any bike I have ever owned....
You probably got it fixed by now. Look at SPAL fan reviews. They are the absolute best in the industry for fans. I added on to a switch on my VFR which gets extremely hot
@@ManCaveMayhem Thank you. My Executive 650 is a 2008. I purchased it used at 8,000 plus miles. Since, September I've been riding it and it is now at 10,000 miles. At which point would you suggest I change the CVT belt or do I wait until the 50,000 mark or until it breaks and leave me stranded?
Very true. I should have specified that. I did in the description but should have explained it in the video. I did it more to allow a better view of the bike

If you have dogs be careful of spilled coolant. It’s sweet and it’s kills their kidneys when they lick it. Dealers are cheaper than vet bills.

Fill it to the top and keep an eye on the over flow bottle to make sure it doesn’t draw it down too low.
