I use a oil filter cap wrench, with a 3/8 swivel connected to a extension and then the ratchet.

Be very careful that you remove the old gasket before installing the new filter..It likes to stick on the block and cause problems for the new filter!!!

I have a 06 C50 T and I am about 5'6" and 225 pounds. It's my first bike (actually second but the first one was a paperwork mess). The bike is definitely good for a strong first year rider. It's heavy, has vibration issues at highway speeds, and is usually mistaken for a HD. I love it!!! The fu...

Here is something to think about. Regardless of pulling the clutch in, put the bike in neutral if it has been sitting for a while before starting. I pulled the clutch on my little ninja 250 (been riding my 06 C50T), hit the start button, and jumped about 2 feet forward. So now I will always put my b...
