@ Cracker...this behavior had me perplexed but I the only version I can thing, is that exactly that, the residual pressure held it in. The only other thing I did was take out the front cyl cam chain tensioner to see if I had a brain fart and installed it wrong, which wasnt the case.

Update time: In between dashing home to take care of my 8yr old cos wife is away on work for two days, I collected new filter and oil. Whilst Phonics and word of the day was being practiced, so was oil drained and new filter fitted. Fired her up once Layla was in bed, allowed it to warm up and...

Thanks Andrew, its how I recall doing it. But, I will man up and if I got it wrong, I will do a public shaming and fess up.

Thanks Andrew. Can u recall, is it thin side or thick side going into the cylinder first?

Thanks Oom D, I follow your postings here and hold your opinions in high regard. FWIW, I am a mech eng but anyway, I do agree with what you are saying and this aligns with my experience of mech swicthes, however in this instance, You can see the egine pulses in the light and if u pick engine...

@ Andrew....my mind is now making up all manner of theories....is it possible to put a cam chain tensioner in the wrong way round?

Took out the filter last night. The worst I could see were some pleats, about 3 or 4 that were closed against each other. I will replace it today to see if that helps. When I started it to ride home, it did the glow on idle thing. 50M down the car park, at teh gate, it went away. Same thing at...

I see the 950.info site suggests tapping into the "bolt" that plugs the cam chain tensioner port, but that is a for a permanent install. not a test plug.

looks the mutts nuts that does!

My dream install that!!...yes, some pics when u done! also , how was the buying experience from them?

Thanks Andrew. I am happy to go buy one (I have a tool fetish anyway) ...where do u connect to on the 950 and are they funny connections that you need adaptors for?

So...stopped bike at 7 in the car park. Went down now at 11 and switched it on, not started. Oil light had dim glow on the dash...fired it up and it idles about 1100 rpm. Super quiet no cam chain clatter. Rev it up slowly and around 3k, the oil light was completely out. When the revs settled to...

Apart from steering stem bearings and replacing a fuel hose, nowt else. I removed airbox and carbs to get better access to rear cylinder tensioner. For the front, I loosened the oil tank but did not disconnect it. Very perplexed. this bike has NEVER had oil pressure issues in terms of the...

One odd thing I noticed: On the rear cylinder, the cap over the cam chain tensioner had two copper washers instead of one. I removed the "additional" one. Cant see how that would impact oil pressure. And the bike had no OIL Press issues before, juts occassionaly noisy cam chains. They are now...

Morning Over the weekend I replaced my 950's cam chain tensioners. Bike has 41k on the dial, half of which has been in my hands. Rode it the short 5km to work and notice the oil light glows at low rpm and goes off after that. It must be related to the work I did....any advice on what to look...

Bill....you not left the pub since last night?

Now I am thirsty for an Erdinger....

Dammit, I was hoping for a bigger replacement from insurance!
