I didn't take Suzuki 15 pages to tell you how to check your oil.

As I read it, the 15 pages is not telling anyone how to check their oil.
It is determining if there is any possible reason why the oil should not be checked the easier, safer, more sensible way. And from the results I think its quite clear that there is no problem.
But being that you keep insisting that the vertical method is no problem, safe, and so easy,....even tho you have to get help to do it, just keep doing it that way,.....we don't mind,....really we don't !  

I need no help on my s40 2 2x6 make it plumb,Yes on my 1500 the same way works,But being if it started to get away I couldn't hold it its near 800#

A short piece of Landscape timber under the stand, and steering all the way to the left makes it plumb for me.

Very few people read the first part of a 15 page thread, they only read what they see on the last page, and maybe turn back one page or two if something catches their eye.

Polls are that way too, the instructions for a poll are on the very first page, but the silly thing shows on all subsequent pages and many people "vote" completely blind based on what they see on the last couple of pages.


Smiley   but that's how she works, boys and girls .....   reality is.





Firstly, I want to say that I have read this entire thread, from page 1 through page 18, in the last hour or so. Having read it, I have a few comments/observations.

I must comment on this guy over here, Oldfeller, you are a 10! YOU'RE A F*CKIN 10! You mad my night!

Ahem. Secondly, I would like to point out the painfully obvious fact that this entire thread is based on plus/minus 0.25quarts of oil.

And to answer the question on the table, I would like to take a unique point of view, in saying that BOTH the amount of oil AND the inspection method are correct! HAHAHA..cough cough.ahhah......ahem. The logic is as follows: Fill 2.5 quarts of oil and check it periodically to make sure it isn't below the lower level. Periodically doesn't mean 5 minutes after you've poured in the oil, or 5 days after you let the bike sit after an oil change, of course...

Primary purpose of the thread -- alleviate boredom

Secondary purpose -- educate list members


Success?

I'm less bored (aren't you) and we got 29 people saying they use the list method and that's up 4 from when we started.

But you guys can quit this crazy thing any time you want ....  jest quit typing.

It's Bill's fault anyway, cause his Klotz is red

Red ? I thought red goes in transmissions.

I've often wondered why the red trans oil that is so good for wet clutches, (an auto tranny is full of them) and is so good at lubricating all those delicate little needle bearings in the planetary gears, etc etc, and is so heat resistent, (400 deg) wouldn't be the best motor oil ever.

You don't suppose Bill really does know what works better ??

sorry, off topic again,...darn !

Just thought I'd check in on you guys. Still at it? I hope no one missed Thanksgiving over this. Could you get this figured out by Christmas? Ya'll are beginning to look like Congress. When you come up with a 3 1/2 lb "study" on the subject let me know. I'd like a copy. I suggest a Savage Summitt (SS'10) around a big table with everyone armed to the teeth. Of course it would be videotaped so the families of the victims could have a CD of the action to remember their loved ones. "Grandpa, were you really at the SS in 2010?" "Yes son, that's how I got this stiff knee." "Did you get shot like the others?" "Well, er not really. I got this bum knee trying to kick start my Savage to get away. It happened so fast I forgot I had electric start."

Folks, I've apparently got way too much time on my hands. I need some dressing and cranberry sauce. And a Nexxium.  Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

I was so stuffed yesterday, I needed to do something, but that something had to be very "EASY" to do,......so I went out and checked the oil in my bike,.....never touching the bike,...got down on one knee looked at the glass, and there is was,....the level right between the lines,.....and right where it was the last time I rode it 2 weeks ago !
Really,?? I knew the level hadn't change because I hadn't even started it in 2 weeks, but I checked it just because it was so dammed easy ! Grin

Yes, they are still at it.

Bill is the last surviving person on the Nonsensical side and since he can grow back all his shot off and hacked off body parts he's still in there, sluggin' away ....  


..... got nothing in his guns but he's still a clicking at us.

I enjoy checking my oil, I can do it as often as I want with absolutely no effort other than jest casting my eye down at it.   It is either there or it ain't.

The only reason I bought a motorcycle is because I like checking the oil.i do it any time my young neighbor girl has her mini skirt on and holds up the bike for me.
