May 12, 200818 yr After changing my oil and oil filter ,i ran the bike for 10 mins and the left hand casing seems hot, now is this normal as i have never botherd to feel the casings before can someone give me some info!
May 12, 200818 yr The casings do get hot. Check the oil level to make sure it's ok ... did u change the clutch oil at the same time ?
May 12, 200818 yr Author Ah a man from my home town maybe Consett ? No i did not change the transmission but i will tomorrow night. i was just a little worried about the heat from the casing,can hold my had on, but not for long.Just never noticed. Oil level is okay i replaced it with putoline 4t , .44lts as in the manual and checked the dip stick all okay. Cheers
May 12, 200818 yr Aye, thats right location wise or near enough ... were u from ? The reason I asked about changing both oils is that there is two very common mistakes that can be made 1) mix up of drain plugs (one is longer) and 2) putting the wrong amounts in when being a smart ass doing both at the same time and rushing the job to get to a trial......do this and say hello to a full engine rebuild when the bike stops an hour later .... with a bang .... fairly well positioned to comment on the latter as i've done it ......... what a **** and nearly 400 quid poorer !
May 12, 200818 yr Author Definately engine oil , I was born in consett but lived in tanfield lea ,untill turning into a " southern softy" Northants now!
May 12, 200818 yr yeah mine always gets hot, so either its normal or theres a problem with my bike too. we run elph oil if that has anything to do with it.
