Problems. Suspension Settings, Oil Vapour On Sump, Oil Light.

Hi All,

3 problems i'm afraid.

Question One.

Its a 09 speedy 1050 with 10,000 miles on it.

Th Suspension settings are difficult to get right. If you go buy th book its 2 turns out on th front its soft. But mine soon go from soft to hard in a smallest of turns. Also comp is on th right and Tens on th left when they should be th other way around. Does that make a difference?? They do appear to comp and tens th same were they are. Iv taken oil out as it was over filled and hydrolocking.!!! Now i can use all th suspension that i payed for... If it allows me.

So Im very close to having them stripped and cleaned, re sprung with progressive springs?? and put back together th right way around with correct oilings.. As im getting a bit fed up of carrying a screw driver around every time th weather changes temperature. I kid you not on a cold day they do stiffen up to race standards, that dosnt suit my B road blat..

Question 2.

Oil light comes on when it feels like when th engine is off. New sender unit or clocks problem??

Question 3.

Oil vapor for all th world seams to be coming from a hole bung in th sump. As anyone had a similar problem?? Also th near by breathers are dry, so it carn't be them? Oils filter, sump plug all oil tight. See fotoes.



Note dry all around filter seal.



Breathers oil free..



Cheers Phil

 

Hi Bolosun.

1, Yes its looking like a full pro rebuild. As anyone used progressive springs on there's??

2, When if it does come on it flickers too some times, that sort of thing. Iv taken th connector off th sender and messed with it but that makes no difference. I will look into steering head wires but at 10,000 miles they should be ok and when i move th steering it makes no difference to th flickering on or off.....

3, Iv cleaned it when filter is off, replaced with new and then ridden it 10 miles and there is no sign from were it comes from. A right mistery foreshore this one.. Its like some one as given it a misting of oil from underneath. Nothing is coming from above.

3, Iv cleaned it every where when th filter was off, replaced with new and then ridden it 10 miles and there is no sign from were it comes from. A right mistery foreshore this one.. Its just like some one as given it a misting of oil from underneath. Nothing is coming from above. Oil level never drops. Like i say its not a leak more of a misting.

 

Yes its looking like a trip to th professionals. Iv now screwed th comp all th way out 2 1/2 turns in this case and it only feels slightly less stabby.
