Title: Sump
Post by: Thomas on October 14, 2019, 06:35:40 AM
Hi all,

to avoid wet sumping clouds out of my exhaust I drained the sump after two months of rest. About half a litre came out of it. Isn't that too much?

Cheers, Thomas

I get that in about a week..I have to disconnect the oil pipe and blank it off..
We never noticed these problems with older bikes when they were new as we rode them every day, sumping was therefore not a problem.
