So ive been having a few issues with the bike over the past couple

of weeks with it running pretty badly when I start of in first gear

and the gears have been a bit clunky. So I decided that even though

I know bugger all about bike mechanics I would have a go at servicing

the bike myself with a little help from Mr Haynes. Just the general things

like filters, plugs, oil, brake pads coolant and maybe a new battery as ive

had to charge the one i have a few times.

So anyway I was going to go to Halfords to get the plugs oil filter and oil

which they didnt have any of anyway but decided to have a quick look at the

bike before I went and was completely shock to see no oil visible in the

inspection window and no oil visible through the filler hole.

Can this be right ??? :evil: :evil: :evil:

I only got the bike 6 months ago and they told me they would do an oil

and filter change and ive checked under the bike and there isnt any

obvious oil leaks, could a dealer be that stupid that they would forget

to put oil in and if they are could the bike run that long without letting

itself go ???

support the bike and hold the front brake on, then pull the bike upright and look in the window, the oil should be seen when the bike comes level and should be within the marks. if the bike is on the sidestand all the oil is on the left hand side and not visible..

can also be checked on a centrestand, put bike on stand and check oil window.


could be it's low, so try topping up, but only a bit at a time, its easier to add than subtract..
