jandyhr Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hi Recently bought a SR 250 Classic 1999 with only 6000 km on the counter. My problem that it rattles for the first 5 minutes of driving. It says that its important to bleed the oilfiltercover after a oilchange and I did that. The day after the oilfilter reservoir is completely empty and I bleed it again. Somehow the oil seems to run back. There is a kind of oilvalve in the oilplug at the button of the engine, could this be leaking ? I run 20W50 REDLINEOIL. When warm the engine runs almost noiseless but the rattling when starting up scares me. There are no oil spill from the engine. Any ideas, anyone ? kind regards Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jandyhr Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 Hi These links did not really give any answer. Anyone else who knows about of failing oilpressure on SR 250 og XT's ? Kind regards Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Not sure if it helps but my XT550 has a one way valve in the engine case to stop oil draining back into the cases (it has an oil tank in the frame so not the same set up). It might be worth looking to see if the manual shows you have a similar valve? - it is a small rubber seat with a spring and ball bearing in it Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
