no dipstick on them.never has been.interestingly that some oil filler screw in caps were painted alloy and some were chromed steel.i think the air cooled motors were 16hp and liquid cooled around 24 to 27hp.my latest motor is flying even though the ports are smaller part way down throat and is meant for greater velocity.
Just a update I have now checked the oil (yahoo) by taking the fairing off the bottom right side. oil is fine just a side note it says to check your oil daily that ain't gonna happen its in a bit of a silly place but at least I know where it is now cheers to all who assisted me with this dilemma. This is a great site to be on guys might even go for a ride
I wouldnt be worried about checking the oil every time u ride ..... maybe every couple of weeks would seem more reasonable. Have u done anything with the rear suspension yet? I would check that the air is correct then if u dont have anyone to help set the preload correctly then set it to the mid setting (is it numbered? ) ... go for a short ride ...... then put it on full hard and ride the same route as before.....then full soft and repeat.
Another update I spoke to Sinh today he was very helpfull I'm now getting a new rear shock front and back sprockets and a bigger jet. I can't thank you guys enough for the help you have giving me. So thanks again
sinh knows his stuff and is happy to help any riders.hope he gave you a good price. with the sprockets be sure to loctite the rear and check the drive rubbers.
Yeah grey I tried to get it regassed but after speaking to Sinh it was cheaper to go for a new shock. And yes risky prices was very cheap so hopefully it will be all I need to get for the bike.
do i get mycommission? lol SINH is very helpful so keep his phone number. if there is no local dealer he will go the extra distance.i did tell him to expect the call.
Cool stuff ... just checking plus its good for if someone else has the same problem and reads this New sprockets should also mean new chain ....
Yeah mate gonna get new chain as well and sorry risky no commission.but if you ever in qld I'd buy you a beer lol
if one sprocket is up 1 tooth and one down 1 tooth chain should still fit. sinh would know off the top of his head.
