Oiling issues from 2007 to my new 2013
Hey Guys. I've just had the top off my 2007 motor at 25,000 km's doing the shims and noticed quite a bit of scuffing on all the cam caps. The bike has been street ridden mostly real easy over the last 3-4 years (riding slow with a few learners). Oil has been changed (Motul 5100) every 5000 km's. I'm wondering for the sake of my new 2013 that I pick up next week, if it could be caused by being too soft during run-in, riding too much at low rpm's, or oiling issues? Like the problem I've read about with the oil pump cover leaking or the new higher volume oil pump gear etc.
Should I be factoring in some changes to the new 2013, like the Brocks billet oil pump cover, or breaking it in a bit harder, or more ? Any thoughts?
