Things happen , that's why I recommended removing the oil pressure switch . This would allow the air to be purged from the oil circuit . This happened to a buddy's BMW 320i . It had sat for about a year and would not pick up oil until this switch was removed and the engine started .

Yep , make sure it slides in & out easily before installing it permanently .

Removing the oil pressure switch will allow the air to be purged from the oil circuit in the engine . This will ( if it works ) keep you from the work of removing the pan .

Remove the oil pressure switch and start the engine . Oil should PUMP out of the hole within 6 seconds . If it does it will spray out so watch where it is pointing . If it doesn't then it is time to go back into the engine , you may not have the gaskets indexed correctly with the parts .

The answer would be , NO .

That was the US Gov. pricing schedule you were looking at !

They are isolated from the vibration in the tank by rubber insulators mounting the tank to the frame. Level switches are mounted in engine oil pans , radiators and fuel tanks too. Vibration does not affect them either . The same ( different style ) level sensors work in dry solids such as ash , dust or other materials...

I thought someone had posted part #s for the turn signal lens on V11 bikes. I thought they fit Ducati , Buell or something. The only way they are available from MG is the entire assy. can anyone help ?

I don't know why it would not work . The one onmy bike has 85 mm openings on the tach / speedometer holes .

Do most / all level switches work like this ? We had one fail on a coolant level switch and shut down the powerplant . We had to run the engine on override until we figured out the problem . . On the sensor you describe , is the reed switch N.O. ( normally open ) or N.C. ( normally closed ) ? You can blab on this all you want because I am interested in the theory of operation of these level switches.

Is it a H-D or Russian copy of a BMW military bike ?

The fairing changes everything !

The LEDs will last forever and emit a better light .

Could you explain your last sentence a little more ?

Hey.....that looks good !

Exactly......you have no idea how many people do not clean the fitting off before greasing !

I assume everyone that is doing this greasing procedure cleans the grease fitting off before they grease the u-joint ?

And you don't want any part of "you" and that driveshaft making any contact at all !

Wow ! You have this bike dialed in !

Maybe they have changed the friction materials in the friction plates . I'm old w / dated information ?

An absolute law concerning synthetic lubricants : Do not use synthetic lubricants in engines w/wet clutches . Unless something has changed I am not aware of this stuff can ruin them .

As long as Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie make the movie !

I have been taught to use fully synthetic or not . A semi blend just isn't as good . Use one or the other. There are all kinds of additives specific to diesel v gasoline engines . Stick with engine oils for gas engines .Someone posted earlier about a GM Engine oil supplement being good. Search for it or they might repost .

I would be much happier with the blessings from the man in jail . You might become better friends with him after he is released .

I'm with Zooter , this man in jail might not be too happy to get out & discover his belongings have been plundered .
