Hi guys,
I bought a 1986 fz 600 for 500 bucks, everything seams good I've put about 100 k on it so far, it has 29 000 on it.
I have a few questions, I changed the oil and put in Bel-Ray exl 10w-40. Were is the oil level supposed to be, with the bike not running and up right the mark is half way in the glass, now when the bike is laying on the kick stand or running its not in the sight at all, is that how much is supposed to be in the bike ? its only about 2 quarts.
Also I got a oil light when going up hill or accelerating hard, is this normal ?
The clutch seams to slip also, I dont know the past of the bike, so the clutch might be worn out since it engages at the end, doesn't feel too tight either.
Ive read if you have a wrong oil, not enough or too much it ill cause it to slip also
I bought a oil filter and was going to change it, but the bike has a pro sport after market exhaust and i don't think I can change the filter without taking them off. does that make sense ? and if i try to change it should i buy a gasket, so i know the cover wont leak when i put it back on ?
Thanks for any suggestions and input
