As I'm considering buying a used Burgman 650, I'm relieved to discover that an oil change does not require removing bodywork. Very useful information. Two points: 1) checking the oil fill before starting the engine will not give you an accurate reading. Briefly running the engine will fill the oil filter, then you can accurately check the level. 2) I believe the capacity is 3.6L not 3.06. That's more than half liter difference.
the model 2012 says near the oil window on the crankcase 2600 ml oil with oil filter.but you must take off the side plastic to see if at your model say the same.maybe you put more oil than it needs.cheers from Greece!
I see that he flooded more oil into the engine than it is need. Overflow oil is more dangerous for the engine than the oil level is slightly smaller than the middle of the check window. In addition, the bike accelerates worse, after overflowing the oil. Because the lower part of the piston receives a oil-hammer (Liquid strike) every time, when the piston bottom of the point is reached. -- You can conduct such an experiment yourself: Fill oils less than the middle of the check window level. Make a short ride for the test. Then add oils so that the oil level check window will is 100% full. And make a second short trip for the dough. You will feel a very big difference in drive and in acceleration. After that you will never want to pour a lot of oil into your engine. -- Any not racing engine is initially ready for a more low level of oil. The engine is designed for a long work in a small oil hunger. But no engine in the world is not ready for overflow of oil.
Good vid. Thanks. I just bought a 2017 Burgman 650 (with 14 MILES on it). Previously, on my Road King, I would use an oil vacuum to suction the old oil out. Would that also work on these? Would it work for the transmission oil?
I see you are using an Airhawk seat cover. This alone tells me the seat is like most motorcycle seats, sub par in regards to comfort. Not unusual as I never found any bike I've owned has come with a comfortable seat from the factory but enough to convince me NOT to downgrade from my current Honda Goldwing which is supremely comfortable with a custom seat.
@@pujolsh8tr Yeah, even the cheapest car comes with decent seats yet virtually no motorcycles do. My 2003 Goldwing didn't have a decent seat and neither do the new ones. I had to spend $500 to get a custom seat from Wingsoft but now the seat is superb for all day driving. At 79, I'm thinking of downsizing to the Bergman since i won't be doing any long distance driving anymore (my wife is infirm and I am her primary care provider). So after 65 yrs of driving well over a million miles on two continents, I seem to be "grounded" for anything beyond a day trip. So I'm thinking the Bergman might be the way to go. I drove one once and REALLY didn't like the almost instant deceleration upon releasing the throttle, but liked everything else
UPDATE: I have purchased a used 2006 Bergman in very good shape and will pick it up in the spring. The first things I will do are to upgrade the windshield to the larger GIVI model and buy an Airhawk for the seat. I will drive this for awhile and see how it goes as either a second bike OR make a decision to sell the Wing and keep the Burgman for short haul day rides. We'll see how things shape up.....
Further update to this post. I now own a superb 2006 Bergman and have had the opportunity to drive it for some miles. I had to upgrade the backrest and I also purchased a new Clearview windshield plus added the same Airhawk seat that you have. This is a bike that is surprisingly comfortable and very powerful...no trouble handling or keeping up with the rest of the gang in our club. I now have the GoldWing up for sale.....
Hi I have a 2014 I assume it’s the same way? But is there a light that comes on telling when to change the oil? And some people say you should change tranning fluid same time what do you think?
It is a little more complicated. I did it but didn't get it recorded. You have to get the plastic off that side. which was complicated and I had to make sure not to break any tabs. Then there was the oil, Trans oil, and final gear, if I not confusing it with another scooter

Thank you! Other videos on TH-cam are having you removing the plastic your way is quick and easy 👍
excellent video please post more videos about maintenance regarding this model .

It's not 3.6l not even close I've just done mine and it took just under 2 litres
Thank you so much for this video!
This saved me 😂. Thanks for the good video.

Hey is that just the oil change or the oil and transmission

I don't know I never used an oil vacuum

Robert it is my wife's Burgman and the seat is far better than my Honda CTX but I'm sure it is not as nice as a Goldwing seat.

any video about changing the coolant , and the break fluid ?
Thanks for the informative video. What size Air Hawk cushion are you using?
It's a large and it came from Amazon.

Yes! Around every 600 miles the display says oil change.
Every 600 miles oil change - it is bankruptcy for the owner.
@@timmbcy3639 600 miles is for the initial break-in , after that recommended oil change is every 3500 miles
How to change transmission oil?
