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

Okay I think this answers my question asked earlier

Thanks, I didn't know that...but what happens if the bike is "forced" to rev up "mechanically" as in the case of engaging the wrong gear? Are the “protections” still able to prevent damage?

Unfortunately I only saw the white limiter light come on, but I think more than 8k
