Hi all

 

I put new oil on my bike motul 15w 40 which normally here in S.A. we use 20w 50 because our climate and when starting from cold after a day or 2 theres a louder metallic sound from motor where before oil change wasnt as loud(normal sound) but after 1 min of idling it goes away and bike sounds normal The bike rides 100% like before just this noise when starting any ideas?The bike has 11900km

 

if its a 29 or 54? i think its normal cauz almost every one has this issue in cold start top end sounds bad but give it few mins and when oil comes up it quites down.

 

Hi its a 954 its just a bit funny where before the oil change it wasnt as loud when cold than now, i know that the bike had been standing for about 3 months before i got it and i demanded that they change the oil after i rode it with older oil for about 1 week

 

have u tried switching back to 20/50 cauz i use 10/40 in winter and 20/50 in summer myself.?

 

hi no i havent tried to put 20w50 i just had recently changed the oil and i only rode the bike about 5 times since oil change, i was just thinking that since the bike was standing for a while before i bought it and maybe the oil was thicker(it was dirty)thats why it didnt make as much noise on start up as now.
I dont know if i should just leave it or waste the new oil and change it.
We are in winter here at the moment

 

i would just change it to see for myself and ease on my worries.
