I went to some trouble to fix an oil leak.
next time I'll just run it till it stops leaking

WP

 

I knew a guy that did that, WP. He got T-boned, which broke the primary, but not him too bad. The bike still ran, but leaked primary oil. He got insurance money from whoever hit him to fix the bike, but he blew that on drugs, I think. He just kept riding the bike, and got real happy when it finally stopped leaking oil. Briefly. Then he needed a whole new primary everything instead of just an inner and/or outer primary case.

 

I have told more than one person your motor is locked up and heard " well it was leaking something and then it quit leaking"

Sometimes folks don't use good sense. WP

 

"The oil light was on.
Doesn't that mean it has oil in it???"


Heard that once.

 

That brought my Xwife to mind

Thanks guy

Nothing on 710 either?

 

Assuming your question is serious, 'when' is answered in your service manual, at mileages depending on which reservoir you are changing. Full synthetic? Don't bother on an old engine, use real dyno oil, like it has always had. Synth will likely make your engine noisier at best. I only use synth in my S&S engine because they recommend it.

 

Every mechanic that I trust says don't use synthetic oil in an EVO.

 

Store your bike with fresh oil and filter. Never use syntheshit !!!

 

Store? What's that?????
