Moderator Airhead Posted February 10, 2014 Moderator Share Posted February 10, 2014 so if your put 2 litres in, see that you get around 2 litres out, then re-fill correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhat250 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Yeh hitchy " is the sight glass clean, are you seeing the level, And hope your keeping the 2 stroke tank topped up,,, different issue , but just remembering you,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitchen187 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 The sight glass is clean yeah i can see the oil when i put it in but wen i kick bike the level drops and eventually all seems to dissapear and not returning back into inspection hole and yeah iv got 2stroke oil in bottle but thanks for reminder on that 1 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhat250 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Well thats a strange one. As in a stroker its only gearbox thrashing it around , should settle quickly. not like a fourstroke and pumped round engine, [ top end etc] thats why 4strokes take a while to settle level, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitchen187 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 I thought it was strange aswell thats y i put more oil in i havent run it though jus kicked it over with ignition off and watched the oil level i havent a clue were its gone im goin to check for visual leaks tomorrow but it was empty after i kicked it over around 20 times so god nos were its gone lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why you check with a hot engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitchen187 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Sounds logical to me air head ill drain it tomorrow see what comes out "watch this space"......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt502001 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I've had bikes that for some reason you had to lean to the left and then stand straight to get the oil to show up in the window,but as air head said just put in the right amount and don't wory to much about it.If your output shaft is leaking then fix it so you dont have wory about the level droping.
