HI

My 2002 FE501S has started using some oil... aprox. 3dl in 5 hours use!
I just changed the oil, and have now driven it around 5+ hours, and now the oil level is just under half in the inspection glass... it was full when i first changed it...

any ideas?

why does it use so much oil!?
 
Maybe because you are over filling it.

Here is the page from your 02 Owners Manual that discusses how to measure the oil level and how far to fill it. If you are venting the engine into the air box you will probably find the boot full of oil. If you are using a catch can the oil is probably in it.

My 00 501 doesn't use enough oil in 3 hours, 100 miles, to measure when I dump it.

If your rings and valve guides are worn than it may just be getting burned.

Just MHO :D


Regards,

Joe

MrJim,

Leave it at the bottom of the sightglass, and see if you keep dropping.

It's been said on the forums many times before, that the top of the sightglass is overfilling, and when you fill it that much, you're going to lose some.

Let us know if you keep losing it while at the bottom of the sightglass.

thanks,

oh.. ok :?

this bike is shrinking my brain....

i belived 1 liter oil was to go into the nice round hole, but I see that I might have misunderstood the correct oil-filling directions... how wierd...

i can`t open that strange .doc .. microsoft word is also messing with my head....

the level is now on the middle of the glass.. I will use my eyesight to monitor the oil level the upcoming days...

The eninge is by the way brand new, everything inside ti has been changed, including gaskets and sealings..... woopppidooo....

tnx for the quick answers, as always ;-)
 
ok here's some all over the place stuff - sorry right now for this! :oops: :oops:

bobzilla has had an oil consumption problem?

didn't simon used to talk about the reed valve staying open due to muck and again the bike uses oil?

how many hours are on the engine? they need to bed in ands then all of a sudden they can stop using the oil.
