nsr oil levels

[baldy]

Hi,

Just been looking at the oil levels on my NSR and noticed that when the bike is started it shows that there is no oil in it, but when it is stopped it reads full. Which one should i take notice of as it really needs a oil change. Any help would be good

Cheers.

When it's running the oil is going all round the engine. When you stop the engine, it sits in the sump.

Measure the oil level when the engine off.

Oh yeah also i have a problem with the powervalve cable thingys (i think). When the engine revs to about 4k the cable sticks and then slaps shut. Also when you turn the bike on it makes a sound like a baby crying and then the cable snaps shut. The time it takes to do this varies all the time but it is really anoying me. It makes the bike sound like a tank I have put it down to the servo cable with the sprig on it sticking. Any help would be useful

From the description, it could only be gearbox oil he's talking about. Either that, or something is really fucked .

[baldy]

Thanks for the help. I was talking about the gearbox oil, and do i have to take apart the cylinder to get the powervalve out? It is all covered in a black sludgy substance. Maybe this is the problem?

Cheers

Oh yeah, and the little nut that holds on the assembly is left-hand thread so remember to undo it the opposite way that you normally do . That's if you can get the allen key bolts out, little bastards

[baldy]

Yeah, it says that on the gold metal thingy

Thanks for the help

Hmm, found the problem. powervalve was stuck to the block with carbon. Took a lot of tugging to get them out. Also fixed the servo cable, it was frayed on the end and had jammed up. Only problem now is that I have to set it all up again....

Any hints or tips would be VERY helpful.
Cheers

Can I just say...

On most bikes the oil light comes on when you start the bike to demonstrate that the bulb is not blown.

Also, the NSR doesn't have a sump afaik and the oil light relates to the 2-s oil not the gearbox oil.

The oil should be reasonably well circulated in the 'box pretty much all of the time.
