    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hi all,
How soon after a ride should it take for the oil to appear in the site glass, Takes around 20-30 minutes for it to appear....is this normal or do I have a blockage in the return, (no oil pressure light is comming on)

Should take a few seconds. I can turn my bike off and by the time I get it close to level, the level is there.
 
Is your oil level at the upper mark?
So if you tun off the motor, put it on the centre stand it takes 20 to 30 mins for a level to show, is that what your saying?
 
Yeh paul thats right, oil is usually on the full mark, I had a 45-50 Klm ride and checked the level, no oil so i had a gossip and checked again still no show, had a coffee, then checked again and it was there
 
Something not right then, there's plenty of places for the oil to drain down from the head, but it has to come up again from the sump through the sump filter.
My bet is it's nearly blocked, hardly anybody cleans them.
So you will have to drop the oil pan , not hard just lots of bolt's.
I bet you will find some crap on the gauze filter!
If this is the case ,you are now running the risk of blowing your motor.
I could be wrong ,but it seem's to be the only thing that could do this.
All oil has to come back up through there.
See how you go!
Nice to hear from another guy from OZ .
 
bit of luck I might ha ve caught it in time, maybe..lol
Thanks for the info
 
Oooh!! I didn't know there was another filter in there!!
YAY More stuff to clean!!
Will I need a new gasket if I drop the Oil Pan to clean the sump filter?
 
doesn't hurt to renew all gaskets when you pull something down, things tend to last longer
