Thanks buddy. Knobblies on and lowering bushes fitted. :-D

[userios]

what if there is no oil reading after changing and putting 1.8L in?

[johnny21usaf]

I check mine exactly like this, I guess idling in the garage isn't enough. I even take the weep bolt out to make sure im not too low. I change mine at 1000miles. I dont know how I could be low already. It doesn't leak. Weird. Thanks for the help...

Hey Karl, you should do a video on How to set your idle speed, cause it's damn Hard !

(the mixture screw is under the carburator and we're supposed to tighten it ... i don't know how !)

[dh0licious]

[sickone1234545]

[fragmasterkarl]

@sickone1234545 Running out of parts never.. have some parts just not fitted as of yet :) soon... Tires are basically slicks .. so not that good in the wet really.. if its damp there really good.. just if theres water on the road back end slides all over the place :) Regards karl

@fragmasterkarl This video helped me out... had sportbikes for years but this is the first Sumo.

[samsoulee]

Thx mate ! Very instructive

Hey Karl, I noticed you tipped the dipstick up when you took it out.

To get the reading as accurate as possible it's best to keep it pointed down.

I also noticed that your dipstick is different to the dipstick in my '05.

Cheers

[fragmasterkarl]

@JoshCanVideo Tip it to its side. Is perfectly fine. normally i don't walk to a camera to show it :).. pull it out have little look and back in.. which only takes few seconds normaly.. and yes i use a zeta dipstick. :) does the same
