oil levels K2

(1/4) > >>

El__burro:
After a 5 minutes test ride (cb750 k2) I've noticed oil spilling out of the oil tank. Probably too much in it.
I am trying to read the stick but there is no min/max sign.
8/10 of oil tank is full.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I have a friend that has a 750,he made the error of checking the oil when cold,

now he runs the bike for a few miles,then checks it,apparantly they suffer from seepage from the tank to the sump,

my advice is check at least some oil in the tank,then run the motor,and check when its hot,

MrDavo:
Easy to put too much in if you do it when the bike is stone cold and plenty of oil is hiding in the sump.

There is a valve in the oil pump, a spring loaded piston with a rubber seal at one end, which is meant to keep the oil upstairs in the tank when the bike isn't running. Mine looks OK but clearly isn't as the oil level in the tank drops considerably as the bike stands.

Apparently the seal is made of unobtanium, I have registered an interest with David Silver who will email me if it ever becomes available again.

El__burro:
Since the engine was emptied of all the oil and replaced with new one, i am thinking the extra amount against the manual recommendation.
Thanks
