Pre War / Re: how much oil do you lose?
« on: 09 August, 2018, 13:59:18 »
Thanks Bevan, always get a good reply from you.
I have been topping up the oil to the top of the dipstick as per the mark on the side of the filler hole.
i am still running the primary chaincase with the breather / chain oiler blocked off as there is no way to restrict it.
so as you say i may be forcing oil out other places, mainly seems to be where the pushrods come out of the casing.
Is oil meant to come out here for pushrod lubrication
my oil pressure runs aout 6psi when warm, think i remember seeing in the manual that was ok.
i dont mined the oil lose as i know i have a constant supply of fresh going in
what a joy to ride the old bike, done aprox 1500 miles now , only one cable issue which was fixed on the side of the road.
so many people stop and talk when i park up, never had that with the rice burner!
cheers for now
tony
