Hmm...you need oil? hehe...j/k...check the wire that's used for sensor, I found mine to be all bent up and only one of the prongs was making contact=I think this might have been why mine didn't work and I had no idea my oil was so damn low!

Hence the reason for that little round window towards the bottom of the motor on the right side while the bike is upright. When observing one can see the level of oil in the case, or lack there of.

eww, i did a memorial ride this past saturday - a little under 500mi.
when i started the zrx in the morning, i noticed a knocking sound from the engine i've never heard before - ever. dopey me, did not take it seriously and started out on my 500mi ride.
beautiful weather the first 1/2 of the ride then rain the entire ride home. maybe i was lucky (or not, we will see); i had motul synth, the weather was in the 70°, it was raining - so i'm thinking it kept the engine fairly cool.
after the ride, i checked the sight glass - no oil showing! i poured in at least another 1.5 liters (it takes 3.5 l empty) to get it to where it's supposed to be. did an oil change last night and used a k&n filter (no valvoline m/c oil, they only had quaker suv/truck oil at walmart - sorry ninjagirl).
i heard the engine knock again this morning, i hope i didn't ruin anything...
(sorry for whoring your thread gottaducati)

ginoe:
Is it burning or leaking the oil? I would not ride a bike with a knock.
Bad things can happen, engine lockup.. back tire locks.. bad..
i would hmm check the drain plug
check teh oil filter
check everything! if its all ok, set it on fire.

i've been bad.
ever since i traded in the gs500f for the sv650s, the zrx1200r just sits in the garage - all i do is ride the sv650s.
when i finally took the zrx out, i figure it should be okay since it was in decent shape with i last rode it. i should really get in the habit of ALWAYS doing a 'pre-flight' check before i ride off.
i've got to check with the zrx group & read up on the oil consumption.

it shouldnt eat up that much oil. ideally a bike shouldnt eat any inbetween oil changes, unless there is a seal problem or its a older motor.
i always do a pre-flight check. signals, lights, tires, me, etc. it's a good habit and only takes a few minutes... you can even do it while your bike is warming up!
