Change the rubbish oil man, get rid of it and chuck some Castrol Activ 4T, (mineral oil) in. Use about 950ml, works well for me. locktite major bolts(i.e engine, frame), grease pivoting parts, and yeah have fun

@nick, hmm 700 sounds too little, I know that 950 is overkill but it does the job well and hasn't let me down.

 

[roost666]

looks great, also looks like a pitster/psto with motovert graphics really, Are there any differences.

whats the price differences between the 3? anyone know.

Minor component differences, longer swinger and slightly lower spec shock on the PSTO/MV bikes

700ml is on the top line of the dipstick im only going by what the dipstick tells me lol

Plus i can visually see the oil right up near the filling hole so even if i attempted to put anymore in its going to flow out everywhere !

 

[Carlts]

^^ Ahhh yep, I'm rocking the old style 155z casing, dipstick is locating on top of the casing.

I assume you are re-checking the oil level after bike is warmed to ensure its circulated into the oil cooler too?

The bike went sweet its been run in. not a problem at all. only one fault left hand grip came off. everything went smooth as. recommend the motovert 100% will def be getting the 200CC BIG BORE AN PISTON KIT.
