Won't return to idle/slight oil seep...

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Oops it's not a 500 its a 400 they have those extra rings - my Bad - either way more than 3 by quite a few.

TBH I had forgotten just how different the two oil pumps are.

Oddjob:
Try and lean the bike to the right when removing the oil pump in order for any oil to drain back into the sump. That's if you're not dropping the oil that is.

Mikep328:
Good idea, will do!

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Just a thought if your oil pump is leaking oil - could the cause be linked to something else that has caused the leak?
I'm thinking oil pressure valve, oll filter valve?

Oddjob:
Probably just the age of the orings Ted, if they are original they are really old now.
