 |  New M50 with lots of questions.
Hello everyone! I just purchased a used 2005 M50 with 13k miles. I got a good deal (i think)at $4000 cash. 1.Checking the oil....I bought a haynes manual it states "Lean the bike onto its sidestand to check it,however it also says 3.2 quarts with no filter change. I added 3.5 quarts,and couldnt see any oil in the window...everyone tells me it has to be straight up to check it. So whats the proper way to check the oil? Bike leaning down or standing up? 2.Whats the rear gear oil? Book states 90 weight..but as you all know 90 comes in 75w90 up to 140w90. Whats the correct rear gear oil? 3.My clutch my be slipping under hard power...Are there any adjustments I can make to the clutch before I replace it that may help me from slipping? 4.The fan comes on almost at each stop...the temp light doesn't come on,but it seems hot(could be the pipes?) 5.In the event the light does come on...How can you tell if it is the oil pressure or the temp?(before breakdown lol) 6.I read somewhere someone added a 6th gear to their M50..Is this plausable? Has anyone done it ?Whats involved? If anyone can help me I would be very greatful! Thanks Attached are a couple pics CS |
