Muppet or what!!!
 
Meaning me:lol::lol: Went out today to do a long journey on the S4r as in the week i only do short trips to work and the oil window has gone creamy so cant even chack level:o:o

Ended up not going to far real bad sheets of fog every where then got home in front garden and dropped it, forgot to put down side stand!!! how stoopid luckily near the wall so this saved it from falling to floor only broke the bar end mirror (now 7 yrs bad luck to eeek!) and scuffed the seat cover/cowl thing (anyone know how much they are new?)

so not to much damage and still I couldnt see the oil level to when i got home:lol::lol::lol:

Mate, happens to us all. I dropped the DD bike in the garage because it just lent that little bit too far when I was trying to get it onto the paddock stand by myself! I didn't notice that the clutch lever had bent like a banana until I rode down for qualifying at Cadwell...!

Lee - bad luck mate:(

Seat cowls for the monsters are about £70 - 80 ish, without the brackets & bolts (so do keep yours!)
I have a new red one fs, if thats any good?

Usually, if you go for a good long ride, the cream/custard/milky stuff will clear from the oil window when the engine gets quite warm.

Thanks guys:D

Thanks for reply on ukmoc to ck:D

I really need one with the stripe to unless i can buy that seperate maybe??

I posted in general forum to about oil window seems real thick, the eninge gets up to near 108 in traffic but it still dont clear, i did only 20 today as fog was bad. Guess its how long engine is running for not how hot it gets.

a good 40 miler normally clears it Lee:)

Have posted on the other side, with a few links for you about the oil window on monsters:)
