Hi guys!
I have had the TDM850 2001 for several years now and have done several oil changes at home.
I always kept the oil in the level and I was never able to remove the amount of oil (3.5 l or 3.6 l with the filter).
I always took out a lot less + - 3l. On 10/08 I made a trip, in total 500 km round trip, to the family site.
The oil was on the level when I went. The day after I returned, I went downtown. When I returned, I checked the oil level, which was at the first mark / line. Still with the engine warm, I removed the top cover from the oil reservoir.
Remove screws 1 and 2 from oil bleed, as per manual. I "No" removed the oil filter. The bike remained with the 2 bleeding points and the top cover of the reservoirs, open at night. In the morning, the total oil removed = 1.8 liters only.
1) No abnormality was observed in travel, noise or heating.
2) There is no visible leakage, or oil dripping in the garage.
3) Level verified before and after the trip of 500km (difference of <- 200ml)
4) The old oil swirled about 6,000km.
I have to replace the new oil, because I intend to make a trip to the south of the country, for a total of 4,000km one way and return.
My question:
1) because only 1.8L of the total of 3.5L of oil left, if the level was checked minutes before?
2) Where is that oil, Lady Yamaha?
3) The manual says put 3.2l and run 5 to 6 times, check and complete.
4) contaminate the new oil ??
5) Excess oil ??
Please, has anyone had this experience?
Eternal doubt ??
Cheers!
