Well.. Went to take the RG out.. Turned it on.. Well its definately starting okay.. Oil light was on.. Strange.. Knew I should have heaps of oil in there..

Pulled the bike out from under mums deck.. Backed it, pushed it up onto mums driveway to park it up.. So I could check.. Light was still on..

Whilst fiddling with the pain of an arse key thingo to get the back seat off to check oil (always been hard to get into) I noticed a drip... Got down and started looking...

Hose for the oils split and come off, oils dripping everywhere... Its even all over my rear tyre..

:angry2:

That sucks, atleast its not a more serious problem I guess.

Right so pushing a bike and turning it round on a slope so I can put it back where I got it proved to be a little difficult... Ended up dropping it on the grass... And now I've got fuel all over my bike boots.. Any one know how it would be best to clean them..? :dodge:

Hot soapy water is usually best for cleaning boots

Sheesh, it's an improvement over discovering this as you tip in for a left hander. I'd be pretty happy about, kinda.

That little ol warning light saved you about $500 in repairs. Now go outside and apologise to the poor thing.:nono:

[kiwifruit]

a gravel road will get the oil off
if you're lucky enough to live on one ride up and down it a few times, in the deeper gravel, give it abit of shit etc :)

You always seem to be having a bad day... :scooter:

Not as bad as it could have been - always look at it that way:yes:

[Laava]

Its true, you were lucky!:sunny: Shame tho cos it was a nice day and tomorrow when you have it fixed it will be pissing down! Was up there today checking out the storm damage to our place, did our usual F&C at Mangonui and rode the rain edge back to fongaz. Can't believe how many chickens there are now at the picnic area just south of the Matauri Bay turnoff!

U have your priorities right...

[Oakie]

Well done for taking note of the light and actually checking it out. 'Small bad' saved a whole lot of 'big bad' if you'd ridden off into the distance without checking.

[Drew]

I'm real sorry, but I've seen a few of your posts, and it seems to me, that nearly every day is a bad day for you. I put it to you, that perhaps a wee bit of HTFU is needed.

I dont want to be a cunt, even if I am good at it, but this whole site is full of bitching and whinging, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT PEOPLE!!!

Mind you, those of us that are happy a lot, and high on life, get accused of being crack hoes, so perhaps crying in our wheetbix would be better.

yup... what I said but in a few more words. :scooter:

You took your time to read, post, and have a whinge also.. How about we both go cry into a big bowl of wheetbix???

Don't have it fixed.. I'm back at work so can't do much til I finish my shift..
Missed the nice weather.. Its all turning to shit again..

Good on ya for checking it out and finding the problem and not just starting the bike up anyways and totalling the engine. Sign of a real biker eh. :rockon:

Had started it.. Til I realized something definately wasn't right and turned it off.. I'm lucky I didn't kill it.. Time to check and replace a few hoses me thinks..

It will be fine, ya wouldnt know unless you take the pistons out, maybe crank... it would still have been getting some oil, not like ya went nuts on it.

You seem to be getting a bit soft lately. Are you looking at moving to Auckland for promotion and becoming more PC ?

Not certain, but alot of the older oil pumps on bikes needed to have any air bled out of them to prevent an air lock that would prevent oil flowing.
Can any one confirm if this is needed to be done on this bike?
Nobody likes a seized top end.:brick:

[CM2005]

Or seized bottom end!! Wash your tyre with hot soapy water too, i heard that gets some of the oil out. Were you riding just north of waipapa about 6pm today? i saw some bike out.

Didn't think about anything like that.. I thought it would be just as simple as putting a new hose on..??
