If someone posts a really useful and informative thread on how to fix/make/do something then we can move it to the Wisdom section.

Steptoe has posted a thread here on changing oil sight glasses on 1100/1150's.

run bike and see if the glass clears or get some one to lean the bike apposted to oil glass and see if the oil is in there or drain all oil out and refill ,then you no
ps you have to have a really useful and informative brain

is it all black

 

[rudiemoto]

if the window is black it means its full if clear its at least 0.5 ltr short the diff from ,min to max

The glass remains blck whether the engine has run or not. Normaly the glass would clear as oil circulates around the engine, but not at moment. I dont remember overheating the bike which is a common cause of the glass blacking up. a bit paronoid about checking oil level that i cant see !!!!!!!!!

 

[millard]

play safe then, dump the oil and replenish wi new stuff. About 25 quid for peace of mind.

Or drain say 1/2 litre out and see if the sight line become visible. If so then jsut put a fresh 1/2 litre back in .
