Is there any store you guys purchase your oil filters from? Or should I just order it online?
Martin, the Suzuki oil filter number is 16510-37450. They run about $5-6 around here. Other generic filters from HiFloFiltro and Emgo are good substitutes.

None of them, regardless of price, work worth a HOOT installed backwards.
Pay attention to the O RingS. Thats plural.

Now Justin,
If your desire is to literally explode your oil filter cover into art niveau aluminum shrapnel forms, you could desire to put the oil filter in backwards .... which would work quickly to turn old plain aluminum casting material into modern art niveau as soon as you cranked the engine and built up some oil pressure.
Pop !!

I've been having alittle trouble starting the bike today and yesterday. It kinda makes a distinct clicking noise and doesnt really turn over at all either. Im thinking maybe the engine is flooded, or the spark plug is out.
What do you guys think? I might have maybe misused the choke the first time i rode her so this might be it.
Should i let er sit and see if itll dry out? Or what?
Edit: it started once and then soon after went out.

sounds like your batteries discharged.
the starter solenoid clicks when the drops low enough from trying to turn the starter. then it clicks back in and repeat until you stop pushing the button.
and a discharged battery may not have enough umph to keep it going either unless you getr rev'd up.

verslagen- I Charged my battery today and that seemed to fix it!
I was afraid it was something a little nit worse than that!
And of course I will stay safe! Got my helmet, i got one of those modular ones with the flip up fullface, looks really good!

Hey guy's sorry to bump the thread up, but now i am not sure if the oil leak i have is the plug leak.
It leaks from the shift lever side of the motor, leaks from the head down to the area near the lever then falls on the ground.
Is that were its supposed to leak? Well not supposed to but i think you guys know what i mean haha.
The leak is still very minimal a few drops while the bike is cooling down and thats about it.
Also where do i order the replacement part from? Im planning on fixing it pretty soon!
Thanks guys, and thanks also for all the info on the site!
I love my bike! Even just working on it and keeping it clean is really cool!

no matter where it started from, oil will drip from the lowest part of the engine.
RTV is available everywhere.

Look at this link and see if this might be the cause of your oil leak.

Instead of making a new post im gonna go ahead and update this one,
I decided I'm gonna go ahead and try to tackle the
head gasket
rubber plug leak.
(just rubber plug leak, no gasket to it)
This is gonna be my first "big" mechanical task so wish me luck!
Can i order the parts i need online?
(no parts are needed, just a good grade of color matching RTV sealant, the old plug is fine just needs sealant)
And does anyone have any tips in pointing me in the right direction whe doing the fix?
