    Amsoil Used Oil Analysis

    Mike, you got a great buy on the bike! How much does the Amsoil cost a quart. Are you going to change the next 2 changes at 3000 miles. What do you think the higher copper content is from?

    The thought of leaving any oil in for 9000 miles, is new to me. I don't know that much of the Amsoil Oil products. What little I have heard is good.

    What did it cost to have the oil analized(SP) ?

    Mike is the oil pick up line for oil in the pan in the front or rear of the oil pan? That could cause less oil for the engine with long wheelies. I think GSXers can have that problem. I don't know about our birds?

    Mike , I was thinking that the Birds had a tipover shutdown on the motor, after a certain angle on the bike with a rider going down. I was thinking they were set up like the ST 1100.

    I could have this wrong.

    Thanks,

    CCT making noise on start up?

    in The Garage

    Posted

    I keep hearing that bikes shift better after switching to syn. oil. The bike has Honda oil and has about 1250 miles on this change. This started making noise and shifting harder about 200 miles ago. Should I stay with dyno oil or go to syn. oil? Thanks,

    J Red it gets quiet when you pull the clutch in. Is it air in the clutch hydraulic line? You and Obby are smart cookies. Please help with ideas on how to make this problem go away.

    After starting and holding the clutch in it is getting hard to go into first. Release the clutch and then pull it in again it shifts to first. WTF !! Thanks, Texhoss

    J Red, I don't know, the clutch seems out of adjustment. It engages the the last less than 1 inch of the lever release. Please tell me more. You might have something there. The noise is from the top of the heads, it sounds like. Would that be the clutch? Question question?? Thanks Texhoss

    On the first start up for the day, the top end of the motor, makes lots of noise. A slight twist of the throttle seem to quiet it down. Is this grinding anything to worry about? My bike is a 2003 with 4850 miles on it. I think it is the CCT. The oil changes are up to date. Thanks, for any info you might come up with. Texhoss
