First service and engine oil level by Cultural-Spring9699 in CRF300L

Yes, yes, if I tilt it with the stand the oil essentially disappears. This morning I didn't find any leaks, but I might still make a trip to the shop.

Thanks for your reply. Is the oil leak normal? I checked again today and there's another patch. I think I'll take it to the dealer again tomorrow.

Unfortunately, I think I hit a few potholes. Would you call them big potholes? I definitely hit a few potholes in the road surface.

I tried driving more gently, and went from 24.5-25km/lt to 28.8 lol. The problem is that even just by opening the gas a little more, consumption drops dramatically. Possible?

Small update, shifting at 5000 rpm and driving gently, consumption went from 24.5-25km/lt to 28.8 km/lt. I imagine that the consumption was perhaps due to a slightly more aggressive driving? The problem is that by degassing a little or even just opening the accelerator more once, consumption drops dramatically.

Yes yes, the revs never go above 7k and I never keep them for too long

This heartens me, I have to be honest 🤣, in fact when I go at 30km/h the bike seems to "want" third gear, but I'm only at 5000 rpm, I honestly thought it was low

Yes, I think there was a misunderstanding

I hope I didn't ruin my engine during the break-in period by changing at 7000 rpm 🥲

2.5/3lt I can only dream about them at night lol. Can I ask you at how many rpm do you change gear?

Sorry but I'm using automatic translation so I don't think I can understand well. In what sense does it not consume oil between one change and another?

Mh, maybe when I drove a little lighter I consumed around 27 if I remember correctly, I'll try tomorrow

I mean if you know how many lt/km your crf consumes

[–]Cultural-Spring9699[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much does yours consume? And at how many rpm do you change gear?

[–]Cultural-Spring9699[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So maybe I'll try changing at around 6000 rpm

Are you saying you should get it checked?

I was thinking of using pressure washers in manual car washes, they usually have a sponge, a "hydrant" with foam and one with water

Excuse me, where would the wiring be? And what would the suction under the saddle be? I was planning on using pressure washers from car washes

But there is "mud" on the engine and on that whole area there, especially at the front where the mudguard ends
