[QUOTE = BrandonSmith; 18139153] O frio é perfeito. Quente é um pouco baixo, mas năo o suficiente para se preocupar. Minha suposiçăo é que a sua verificaçăo a quente năo era realmente a temperatura operacional completa, e digo isso porque a verificaçăo a quente deve mostrar o nível quase o dobro do nível da verificaçăo a frio. Geralmente, săo necessários 20 a 30 minutos de conduçăo para atingir a temperatura operacional total (além disso, năo pare de funcionar uma bicicleta refrigerada a ar por mais de 5 a 10 minutos).

Năo sei por que seu óleo é vermelho. Qual óleo vocę está usando? [/ QUOTE]Motul 7100 20W50 I've always used this oil on my bikes, the manufacturer says that this oil is very stable and does not have much hot or cold volume variation, was it placed 3.8L correct?

Of course, there is that pesky chain lube thing which could be good for a couple of pages.

Measure the oil the same way every time through the same process every time. I have two methods hot while riding when I make my first stop or after a ride idling it upright for around two minutes before I stop it and checking when it's been cold for a few hours.These things measure all over the place , I genuinely believe that's why some people have issues.

Peace.

What you don’t want, is to see the hot level halfway up the “check upright” blocks when it’s on the jiffy stand. This happened to me after my last dealer service. I sucked out a pint of oil and now it’s good. SMH
