Oil blowing out of exhaust

2006 Suzuki Boulevard c50t 800cc-Bought used last year-has 6000 miles on it now-Changed the oil this year, but not the filter-was blowing oil out of exhaust-was told overfill for oil-so changed oil today and added the right amount-tried to change filter but couldn't find the right tool to do it-Could this be the problem since I'm not sure how old the filter is? Also the bike came with Vance and Hines Longshots. Bike has a Cobra fuel processor that I adjusted a little. Could having too much of an adjustment create too much of a mix that will cause the oil to spurt?The oil does seem to stop spurting after bike has been running-could I be blowing overfilled oil out-also someone said it could be the valve seals but that seems a big problem for a bike that has only 6000 miles on it.

Run it out, The oil has collect in the exhaust media and baffles. Iver fill can cause this proble. As long as it has oil in it, run it out (burn it out) If the oil is low when you ck it, and that should be often, Then note it. Valve guide wear is progressive and the engine would smoke. Keep the oil level proper and take it on a mellow ride, no hard throttling. You should see an improvement after about 20 miles down the freewayat 60. Just stay alertand pay attention to the sound of the motor. Good luck and let me know when you get back.

Power seems to run out early running through the gears and there is a hollow sound in the exhaust at the end

Hello...from your comment it sounds like your bike needs a valve adjustment. The "hollow" sound in the exhaust and the powerband loss is usually a good indication of this. Have you had them adjusted lately? This first adjustment should be done at 5000 miles and then every 7500 miles there after.
The settings are:
Intake .003 - .005
Exhaust .007 - .009
Always set valves on a COLD engine.

I hope this helps...good luck with your bike.

Just bought a 2008 Suzuki C50T. It has less than 1500 miles. It has a check oil indication andd the oil level is good.

The sensor could be bad. More likely is an oil pump gone bad. Has the oil filter ever been changed? It may be restricting oil flow, thus activating the oil light.

On a c50t 2006 szuki what kind of oil do you use

Hello, (06' C50 owner here) I switched to Mobil 1 4T 10w 40 Full Synthetic Motorcycle Oil at 5K miles. My reason for doing so was the transmission used to clunk into gear pretty bad with regular MC dino oil. With synthetic oil, shifting is almost smooth as butter!
