Oil usage - maybe change the sump gasket ? - NorMorty - 06-04-23
Hello and a happy Easter from a snowy Norway..
My 99' fzs600 ( ca 281' km on the clock) been sittin in the shed since october so drain the oil etc now
-but befor i refill I remember the oil usage problemo - add the ca 2dl oil fix every now&then ~ 2week to shutup the oil light ( except on downhill in right turn ) ..
- engine's was qute "normal" just some bluesmokin for the first 2-5.. min when cold
So my Q : Any point to just swap the sump gasket befor I refill ?
(ebay'd from your splendid island some years ago
)- its quite alot of (normal?) solidfy oil / gunk around the right lower of the bikes oil pan sump / gear change area
Is it 'hard' to change the sump gasket meself / somthin to watch out for..?
1 off with the downpipe etc..
2 ..
-found this on yt : watch?v=zrW5j7CskRU but its for a fj1300..
Or mby should a garage do that job ?
btw - Can it be done with just the sidestand down ( my left leg centerstand is curretly snapped off
- guess that also need to be rewelded )Kind regds (& sorry for me bad egnlish :lol [size=78%] )[/size]

Is it leaking from the sump gasket???
Oil needs to be slightly about the the level indicator as the oil level switch is very sensitive.
These bikes hav a nikisil bore and any oil consumption is more often from the Valve stem seals than the Ring/Bore wear
