I have just rolled up from WFO with around 2800 miles since the cyclinder head replacement for my ticker. When nearing home the oil light comes on, "Hmm that's a new one for me". Pulled in the garage and put the bike on the centerstand.
Guess what, there was no oil in the sight glass. Let is sit for half an hour, still no oil. Topped it off with no less than a quart. There have been no oil drips under the bike and upon inspection of the motor it is dry everywhere. I guess the new seals are allowing more oil to pass, though this is way to much for my liking. So I called Cypress 'AGAIN' and got a total non response from some schmuk on the other end of the phone. He suggested returning the bike to the dealer who carried out the replacement of the cyclinder head. Yeh right, like that's gonna happen this Millenium, since I only got it back after 6 weeks the last time. I asked for the contact information of the regional rep for my area and was not given it, no suprise there. Now I must wait 'AGAIN" to speak to the last person whom I spoke with regarding the tick, since the person was not in the office.
Nice to know there is no tick for now, but it sucks that this much oil is blowing through my new engine.
Go Yamaha, you guys rock! :fuck:
