Almost thrown off
Very close call today.
Pulled out of drive way and thank god this happed as I tootled down the road, my bike suddenly came to an abrupt deceleration and threw me into the tank very hard. I pulled over and upon careful inspection the oil level was very low - I missed the oil light like an idiot!! I have no oil leeks anywhere and it was serviced 3 months ago, what could have caused this radical loss of oil happen in such a short space of time? I'm guessing this is not good news and something serious is on the way out!. background - S4 02, modified exhaust more or less open pipe, 996 ST engine in there to replace the 916 which has done 12k. Belts are due now. cheers folks |

So is this on a level surface. Is the bike kind of seized as in you cannot turn it over. Have you taken the belt covers off to check not snapped.
Hope your nadgers are OK as been there done that and ended up in surgery when on my GT200 x5

Loose oil filter, burning oil when running or valve guides if no obvious leaks elsewhere?

No obvious leaks anywhere! my casing were painted 3 months ago and I'd notice any oil.

Who did a service maybe they did not put enough? Barely on limit and those bikes burn some oil.
