Tuned and Synch'ed
Bought my Griso1100 a week or so ago and all been hunky dory until today. Out for a trundle and stopped for a coffee and a smoke. Went back to bike a turned on to finf "SERVICE" on the LCD and the oil can warning light... I assumed it was warning of needing a service after all, only just bought from reputable dealer who specifically said they'd check levels etc.
Anyway, plodded home and checked manual. Looks like it was oil warning after all :? Checked dipstick (bike upright and dipstick not screwed in) and no oil. Yikes. Screwed it in and there was 1/4" on the dipstick.
Rand dealer, who were quite suprised and said it could have been missed. Fairy muff. I drove in and they gave me 2l of fully synch 10/60.
Went and topped bike up - 1/2 way between min and max and turned bike on - no warning! Fantastic! Went for a trundle, stopped at pub for quick Coke and a smoke. Turned igntn on only to find oilcan and "SERVICE" again!
Dipstick showed oil just above 'min'. Warning disappeared after switching off and on.
So - any ideas whats going on?
No sign of oil leak. Bit oily round outside of wot I assume is airbox, but not like 2l stuck around it.
Should I just top up a tad more and keep an eye on it? Does the warning light come on at around min level?
