oil

Hello guys. After doing an oil and fliter change on my 02 Mille I was slightly conserned how the new filter went in. I have replaced with an K&N - 152 (short style filter) The push fit wasnt very reassuring and it just sort of sat there loose. Before putting the cover back on it was very easy to...

Hi guys, I've not long purchased a 2003 rsv1000r it had plenty of kms on it at 70,000 but after lots of homework and research found that the milage (servicing considered) was little reason for concern. Here's where the depression set in, I gave the bike an oil change, taking care to use clean...

Hi all, showery Sunday morning (again), but at least I had a great day on my TP yesterday. Got home from a 450km blast out through QM falls, Legume, Woodenbong and Beaudesert (for the Aussie locals).....lots of new road surface,still some horrible lumpy bits......but a great fang, and a superb...

Just got my bike back from an oil change. The oil level is well above max. i know you should take it out for a 10 mile ride to get the correct level, but its p*ssing down with rain. If they have overfilled it with oil, will i damage it taking it out for a 10 mile spin?

Hi, new to Tuono, i have bubbles in my oil level tube, and it seems a bit low, is this normal? also, what type of oil would you use to top it up?

Hi guys, I finally have an RSV4 and the Diva is playing up already! There seems to be a "breather hole" on the right hand side of the engine (see pictures), I've checked with another RSV4 rider and it looks the same for him. However my bike is coughing oil out there. It's not much, more like...

So it's been a while since I've been on here and I've just purchased another mille I've done the brown and white plug mods and bleed and bleed the clutch next thing I want to check is the fork oil hence the question how to check the level ? Is it just a case of removing the top cap or is there...

Guys you may have read some of my posts on here about the engine change I done. I genuinely think my problems started when I changed the oil to 10w40!! I had bottom end failure resulting in a very expensive new engine fix. I have spoken to a few mechanics about it and they agree. I ride bikes...

Hi, I've just bought a gen 1 tuono, and I suspect the fork oil is a bit old. I've changed forks oils in my old bikes but they were all RWU damper rod type forks, I've never looked inside USD forks before. Do you require any special tools to disassemble the forks, spring comressors etc. Plus...

Hi, My rsv is currently it's oil level at max when running hot, is this normal?

Hey, I wondered if anyone could help me please I recently purchased an RSV Millie on a 51 plate, I'm having problems where my oil level should be on the stick? Should it be on max or just below? The stick is currently reading about a quarter above min. I'm scared to use my bike incase I cause...

Hi guys, I'd been toying with the thought of changing the clutch oil jet, it didn't seem to be readily available although I'm sure someone will know where there are dozens. Anyway, I took the oil jet out, having read from various sources how to get it out of its hole, I used a cocktail stick...

09 tuono gen 2 I bought oil for the tuono from eBay without checking oil weights. They sent me castrol 10w40. Just checked the manual and it should be 15w50 Can this be used??:banghead Cheers in advance

Onto my next purchase, what rad guards are people using, on my FZ8 I have Beowulf, are these as good as any for the tuono, priced at £80 delivered on ebay, any better ones though, thanks:thumbup

another question thats been asked before I'm sure, this tme regarding the oil level, I see in the handbook that the oil level from cold may not be showing on the sight glass but as long as the oil pressure light goes out when the engine runs its ok. Now I've had several dry sump bikes in the...

Hi 04 gen 2 oil light coming on, goes into some sort of limp mode. Leave bike ten minutes, no oil light bike goes fine, then light again. Sometimes light goes on/off as bike is moved from stand to upright. Oil pressure switch changed out, not the problem. Oil pressure measured at 30-40psi, this...

Hi, wondering if any of you can recommend a good engine oil for the V4r, what oil are you lot using? My oil is low so just going to change it, also, how much oil do these things use? Haven't done a huge mileage since I got it but it seems to burn a little, not concerning me but think i'll keep a...
