    Didn't see this before, I'd be interested to know if the level drops on start up
    A very nice window it is too!

    Don't say can't, as anything is possible with time and effort, but, if you don't have time things get tougher and require more effort.

      the oil does drop on start up, start your bike up on the centre stand and watch the oil level in the sight glass drop down.
      once running the clutch must rely on splash feed. with my engine running you can see loads of oil splashing over the whole clutch

      Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

        1400 miles is a lot of laps around a few cones...
        Maybe they replaced the clutch plates and never soaked them in oil before assembly?
        Bozo's learning to ride smoked the clutches. Bigger Bozo forgot to soak them when installing new.
