purchased my first four stroke engine for a very good friend to ride, getting ready to change oil and it says you have to purge the air out of system, I have read posts on other sites regarding this, was wondering if completely necessary, have seen people say both ways, just wondering thoughts, personal experiences.
Four stroke oil change
- Thread starter euphoric1
- Start date
Never did, never heard of it before.
this is on a Suzuki 1100cc, I thought it had to be done on other engines as well, or was at least recommended to anyways since it is a dry sump system, and as I posted I have read where people do it and people don't and was just hoping for some input. I would think it would self bleed but again first 4 stroke snowmobile so unfamiliar.
It’s an 1100 Cat Crosstour 4s so Idk either but was not an issue with Doo and Yamaha 4s engines.
I've heard of people purging the Cooling System with air...
its not an issue, its part of oil change process on the Suzuki engine, just wondering if completely necessary or not to do, again read it both ways, hoping someone would chime in that has one if they do it or not.
Wrong word I guess not part of the process with doo and Yamaha 4s oil change. Cat maybe Idk. Jim Andros might know PM him.
You mean like Big Foot and the Fake Moon Landings? It’s possible.
I don't remember purging the 1st generation 1100s (F & Jaguar chassis) but it almost rings a bell in the 2012 & later with the oil reservoir being built into the chain case. That was just when I was getting out of business. Sorry I can't help.
Have you read the owners manual?

Thank you bayfly, didn't make much sense to me as to why would have to and again was only curious if anyone else did or didn't do it, was my only question and again Thank you! as far as hard to get at, I'm pretty much used to hard to get at when working on stuff so nothing will surprise me LOLHave you read the owners manual?

Yes...I did read the owners manual, reason why I was questioning if it was necessary or not.
and as stated this was my first four stroke sled, reading back on my original post I apologize for not being more specific as I was under assumption that it was something that had to be done on all of them as this was my first. me.... Id much rather pour a little injection oil in a tank when its needed. Couldn't pass up the deal and have a good friend that will enjoy it.
