oh i left home around 7.10.. its was pouring cats n dogs! i cant believe i arrived at my work place 95% dry! (the 5% is my feet lol) arai jacket n pants helped alot! $65 is not too much for a armor less rain protection i guess... haha

 

One reason I didn't ride to office was to avoid getting wet as the pant of my raincoat seems to be gone as heavy rain, my groin area gets wet.

 

Second reason is visibility, see how dark it is outside. When rain droplets accumulate on my helmet visor it really becomes tough to see especially when its dark. Quite dangerous. Yesterday when it was raining and I was taking a left turn and I almost hit a pedestrian who was crossing the road. Thanks God. I braked in time.

yes true! visibility is a problem... especially early in the morning.. cuz the sun rises at around 7.15am but if u notice street lights and block lights are switched off around 7.00 am... u get some proper lighting only after around 7.20-7.30 am

hmm.. when i did a check last night it was right on the 'low' line.. so did a top up n made it center of 'low' n 'high' marking.. no oil traces found below the engine.. i usually make sure to check beneath the bike for any signs oil drip..

 

hmm...

did you

put bike on main stand?

park on a relatively flat ground with?

front wheel touching the ground?

check after waiting for the engine to cool down?(min 20-30min after you stop your bike)

 

these are some factors that affect the EO level when you check...

Early morning while pouring, put on my arai raincoat and off to work, but i couldn't start my bike.

Electric start can't kick also can't... Is it cause of the weather or my battery dying or what?

Finally after a while I press and throttle at the same time come to life a bit..

if u have no damage n not claiming the other party, not necessary to go idac. but just check throughly, any fine scratch anywhere, even helmet, can just claim. is true tp will not involve if there's no injury, they just make record. so i think in ur case, it's up to insurance how they want to fight it. call up ur insur, tell them NOT UR FAULT N DON'T PAY THEIR CLAIM.

i got flu how to sniff, lol

there's only 2 part i know of leaking eo.

1) the engine block; the metal block under ur tank which have lots of fins n look like a heat sink. look carefully at the sealing part at the top, it's either at the round rubber thing at the side (near ur spark plug) or at the exhaust pipe exit.

 

2) near front spocket, ther's 2 o ring. if it's leaking from there cos of o ring, it'll usually drip to the bottom, u'll need to open up the metal case to see the o ring.

 

3) uncommon, but possible; ur drain nut is not tighten properly

In my case there used to be a very fine leak from the drain bolt, eo will not drip or anything because its very very slow, but if I touch the bolt I can feel the EO on my finger tips. I have changed the bolt and washer so now no problems.

 

Another reason could be oil just burning and evaporating due to the high temperature. I have read in Indian forums that pulsar is known to burn oil. Some people after draining out the EO see only 900 ml left. Even the Phantom is known to burn oil and they just top up in b/w thats perfectly normal.

Wah I don't understand all the technical jargons. Maybe i should meetup then somebody help me through a short pulsar 101 intro. Can ride mine and let me know what i can change to improve its performance and cosmetics.

[alvinyansg]

arthur.. which part is the engine block?

when was your last EO change?

did you notice any oil residue at your enging,side stand,main stand,below your engine area?

what you can do is wash your engine area clean and put your bike on side stand with a piece or newspaper/rough paper on the floor...

check it the next day to see if there is any stains on the paper...

if it is from your EO drain bolt,can use a T wrench to tighten it...
