Hi been a while since on last time was when my cbr was submerged in the Iligan city typhoon. Finally sorted Bike out and has been running great. However I am concerned about the oil!!! it is too clean!!!. The oil pressure light goes out as soon as you crank the engine and no banging or crashing however under full power I can hear what sounds like a rattle, but maybe I imagine as i'm straining to hear all. So how without a pressure guage can i check the oil pressure? is it going round all the engine? any thoughts on why the oil should be still very clean after approximately 10 weeks in bike

 

Engines won't last but a few miles without proper lubrication. If it wasn't getting any oil I'm sure you'd know about it. It's not how long the oil has been in there, but how many miles you've ridden in that time. If you'e using good oil, I wouldn't expect it to get dirty that quickly.

Others on here may have some other ideas as well. I could also move this to the 1000F section to get more specific thoughts.

 

yeah i know what you mean and no not a huge amount of miles but i have never seen oil that clean after 10 weeks. prehaps just paranoid !!! you know every sound every movement you think not heard that before but i gave a good thrashing today, joys of living in Philippines, up the mountain rd. then rev to limit and all seem ok so it me paranoid thnks for your reply
