    Please can somebody tell me which is the oil pipe in the clutch area that drips and drains down the oil tank while the engine is off, or is it the spay bar in the timing chain side?

    Hello. Does anyone use this temperature dipstick below (from Newbonneville.com)?? Normally I change my oil at home and use my OEM dipstick to check oil levels. I meant to scratch some marks on the temperature dipstick but never did - the marks on it are not correct for an R3. I changed my...
  4. Oil tank draining

    I know this is an old thread but I need reassurance. My oil tank completely drains down into the sump within 3 days of parking up after a run.

  6. Clutch shaft oil leak

    Castrol Power 1 5w-40 Mobil 1 M1-110 oil filter. When I shift at 3000-4500 rpm it will stay dry but if I run the motor up to 6000-6500 rpm I get this, oil coming out of the shifter shaft. Bad seal? To much pressure building up? 4000 miles on the oil change and it didn't do this before.

  11. Chrome Oil Tank Woes

    I purchased a NOS chrome oil tank from my deal in Fort Worth, the part number was listed as A9730136 on the open box. This is the correct part number for my 2008 R3T. I tried, unsuccessfully, to install the oil tank yesterday. My observation is this. The nipple at the back of the chrome oil...
