Hi I changed the oil and filter using Silkolene super 4, 10_40 and K&N filter on my 05 FZS 1000 for the first time on Sunday.The owner be for me I was told changed the oil and filter shortly before I bought the bike in March. When the bike was cold the oil in the window was completely covered, and when hot and left on the centre stand for a few minutes was above the high mark.
After leaving the oil to drain for 4 hours, I but 3 litre in as it says in the book.Been out to day ,when I got back but bike on main stand waited a few minutes the level was half way between low and high mark. Waited 2 hours ,still in the same place.
Have I done some thing wrong? I was very careful to measure the 3 litres.
Not sure if it is me but the bike seems to be going a lot better, picks up much better and the gear box seems slicker.
Should I but more oil in? What is the best level? High mark, or in the middle? The oil warning level light did not come on during my ride.
