Won't return to idle/slight oil seep...
Mikep328:
According to receipts the engine cases were separated to do various work, including a DSS cam chain tensioner "upgrade" so I ASSUME the oil pump was reinstalled with new O rings. Maybe an Oring wasn't seated properly or moved out-of place during assembly? In any case, I hope the cause will be obvious and easily resolved with new Orings.
Oddjob:
Doesn't mean they've removed the oil pump though Mike, if it's not needing to do the work they'd have left it in place
taysidedragon:
I took one engine apart and the oil pump o-rings were in a hell of a state, had not been replaced, just smeared with orange silicon gasket. Not everybody puts it back together properly. 😣
Mikep328:
That's interesting - Never having done it (or looked up the procedure), I had assumed that the pump had to be removed to split the cases.
Actually, I hope the pump was NOT removed previously. If it was and is leaking due to some faulty assembly, it will make me wonder about the quality of the considerable engine work that was done...£2,216.85 worth per the receipt!;)
This added a few minutes later: After leaning the bike to the right for a bit then placing it on the center stand, when the pump is loosened/removed will any oil - other than residual oil in the pump itself - be draining out? Will I need a catch pan or will a few rags handle it?
Nurse Julie:
Always best to have a tray and some rags handy Mike. Ideally you need to keep the bike leaning to the right through the process.
