    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

How much oil should be in the stator housing?

I don't think I've explained this well enough. I bought the bike only firing on two cylinders and someone had attempted to 'chop' the bike and clearly gave up after a very short while..........

I simply wanted to buy a bike I could save from the scrappy and learn in the process as I tore it down and rebuilt it. In the process of doing this I noticed oil dripping from the stator housing. I thought the stator housing was supposed to be dry so I figured it must be the crankshaft oil seal. I opened it up (not worrying about an oil spill) and discovered the seal was fine....some research later and its obvious that the stator on this bike is supposed to be wet!! I then read comments about how there is only a supposed to be a little oil in there ( but that could have been written by someone with less knowledge than me, scary thought!) so I joined the forum and asked the question..............

I've removed the engine because it needs a good clean post 50000 miles, new gaskets, rings, sludge carbon and whatever else I find. As for the oil level the glass is still visible and although won't be perfecty accurate it shouldn't be far off?
 
Nuts!!! Just realised what you mean Chuck. I won't be sticking it on the side stand to check the oil!! It'll be stored with a paddock stand. I'm content that I can monitor the oil level without a centre stand.
