ok guys heres the thing "well two things"
1. i have emptied all my oil for my very first oil change today and i am letting it drain overnight like i heard someone here does to get a good drain! ive had it 5 weeks and the oil was black allready (i was shocked) anyway when i put the oil back in the tank tommorow the crankcase will be void of oil until the engine is started correct? is this the right way? there is no way of puttin oil in the crankcase as well i believe! so im guessing that it runs then the oil pump works fast ebough to not harm anything in the case correct? i am going to use mobil one mx-4t motorcycle synthetic oil! the oil change tech section here says to put in 1 and 4/5 quart into the resevoir then run it shut it off and top it off right?
2. from the first day i got my bike (5 weeks ago) it has made a ticking sound only at low "cold" idle not noticeable at higher rpms and not after warmed up and it comes from the bottom of the crankcase somewhere i believe! i have been told by two dealerships that this is normal and the one told me it would go away after my break in and first oil change? it did it just this morning before i let the oil out so im hoping it goes away with the new oil and filter! tell me someone else has heard this too?? anybody???
SORRY THIS IS SO LOOONNNGGGGG!!!
