[QUOTE="serious C, post: 5198, member: 1062"] Hi Johannes, before I check the oil level on my Comet I let it run for a few minutes When I bought the bike I had the same problem because the previous owner simply overfilled the engine (I drained about 1.5 litres out of the crankcase)When it sits for a while the oil might pass the oil pump. Another possible reason might be an incorrect timing of the breather pinion. I built myself a little alu cup in which a small plastik bottle is a snug fit ,added a bracket and mounted it on the gearbox adjuster. But since I have the correct amount of Oil in the tank I didn't had to empty it. Regards Karsten [/QUOTE]
