She'll pump that other quart right out in no time. I know this because I have done it. H I did think of that, I guess it is no different than starting up the bike after an oil change to get the reservoir oil into the bike. The manual even says to flip the throttle a aeveral times and then turn off. Yes there is a difference. When you just drain the plugs, there is still oil in the engine that circulates. This is not so, if the engine is completely drained. Mixing synthetic with a little dino is of no concern. For those talking about running the oil out.....Don't start jacking around trying to drain all the oil out of your engine by running it out. There is no gain in doing so and the loss could be devastating.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #235184 Hotelfox (User) Riding The BIG RED THUNDERCHICKEN!!

I wouldn't recommend doing it just for fun and you need to do it when its cold, not running temp. or you could seize the engine. Hell you could seize it anyway but I'm just saying its an emergency option and not something to fear.

Risk = BIG, reward = ZERO so don't bother doing it. We used to do it years ago when I crewed on a formula race team and the cars had a dry sump system as well. My thoughts haven't changed since then... bad idea then, bad idea now.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #235273 coolalexrex (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 77 Re:How do you get all the oil out of the Roadie. 2 Years, 3 Months ago   Not as good as gasoline...but better than a ketchup milkshake!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #235317 Big Bear (Moderator) Who loves you , Baby?

BB That is too funny. I just pulled the two drains, changed the filter and put the new synthetic in, on my conversion from dino to synthetic. No different than putting a blend. The Star won't know the difference.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #235488 bullfrogsierra (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 45 Re:How do you get all the oil out of the Roadie. 2 Years, 3 Months ago   i used to do that also till i read on the clinic to remove the hex head plug behind the rear cylinder after draining oil,put two qts in there and two qts in oil tank and youre done.took 10 mi as opposed to seems like forever of blipping the throttle and trying to burp the oil into the oil tank. ive learned a lot on this site and learn more everyday you folks are #1:rolleyes   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
