After my last topic about synthetic oil I'm going to switch, I have two questions, What do I use to flush out the old oil, and what kind of filter do I use?

I was always told NEVER to flush a motorcycle engine.....so I haven't..
(an Amsoil rep told me this when I tried their motorcycle syn)
I just switched straight to a synthetic (Mobile 1 motorcycle syn)
I use either a K&N oil filter (high flow) or the Suzuki OEM
what a cool smilie

(A2) Synthetics can mix with standard oils, and you do not need to use a full flush product on the engine unless you have sludge build-up or other oil-feed related issues. If you do have sludge contamination, pull the clutch basket out, use Gunk brand Engine Flush as per their instructions, then drain the oil and the cooler. Refill with a cheap motorcycle oil (such as Castrol ACT/Evo), run five minutes, then drain everything again. Reinstall the clutch basket and refill the engine with the synthetic.
(B) Use the Suzuki oil filter; it's the best filter I've seen (in terms of the inside construction and filtration). The part number for the proper oil filter wrench for the OEM filter is 09915-40610 and is under $8 via most dealerships.
