œil level window lighting
« on: May 20, 2019, 11:47:19 PM »

Hello

IN TEST PHASE

Tired of having to take a flashlight every time to control my oil level  :-\ :-\ :-\


So I installed an LED 12V strip with a switch  ;) ;) ;)

That is a nice little feature. I have to use my phone flashlight everytime I look down there.

Getting the bike level is tougher than seeing the level. 8)

When I had a C10 I only looked at it after the oil change.  It never used any oil.  Same with the C14.  But a good idea with the light, though.

I agree- change oil, add 4.75 qts. Fuggetaboutit. Go 5,000 miles, repeat. Fuggetaboutit. Never had a Kawasaki use any oil no matter how many miles.

Just for shits and giggles, put the bike on the center stand when cold and start it looking into the oil window- and be amazed how long it takes for the oil to reappear and start circulating..
