Thanks for the info guys,
I'm a car guy myself so these two wheel things are a bit foreign to me
The motor was rebuilt and run but not ridden, then loaded up a ramp to a tray top ute and transported about 300km.
then sat for 3 months while I got around to rewiring the bike.
My dad is not fit enough to ride the bike but just wants to own one and occasionally start it up.
How is the bike going to like that?
I'll read up on wet sumping, thanks for the tip. I tried searching posts on here about oil being pumped out of the engine.
Sure helps to have the correct vocabulary.
If this is a common question phrased in many different terms then maybe the "Wet Sumping and other common oiling problems" post could be pinned to the top of the engine forum.
Attached is a pic of what I am more comfortable working on
Thank you once again, I'll update you with the results.
Cheers
Chris
