The two oil strainers are reusable, stainless steel (ss) mesh. The bikes delivered by CSC have a paper oil filter, but one can also obtain a reusable, ss oil filter from China.

Excellent plan. There are some spares that you should just have.

Can you further explain which curve is torque and which is hp? I think I know the answer, but I want to be sure.

Switched on, pump up to pressure - no leakage cranked on starter - injector sprayed stopped cranking engine - no leakage so that's me stumped for now Anyhoo , here's a few injector pics |

Sump getting gas in it.
It may be a long shot, but there aren't many other ways I can imagine the engine filling with gasoline; either the injector is intermittently sticking/leaking after shut down, or sticking and seeping after shutdown once it's warmed up, (same thing really). I've had carbs with sticking floats overfill and fill the crankcase but I've never seen an injected model do it. The injector is the only gas link to the engine so.....I'd change that first as you planned. Having gas in the oil isn't just bad for the bearings, it doesn't help the clutch either.

Every USB outlet, convertor, or charger I've had the misfortune of dealing with draws power when connected to the battery, doesn't matter if anything is plugged into the port or not. Be sure to wire the USB to through a switch unless you can verify this one is somehow different. The 12 volt power outlet will not draw power unless something is plugged in, unless someone who doesn't like you drops a coin in it.

DO NOT assume anything used in aviation is adequate for motorcycles. I've seen several people dump oil for aviation piston engines in their motorcycles and wipe out the cams and followers in under 100 miles. 110LL still has enough lead to gag a catalytic convertor right quick. Same goes for diesel truck oils in motorcycles. Some will be fine, some won't. Even about half the Rotellas that have served riders for years no longer adequately protect cams in motorcycles. Same goes for Mobil commercial oils. Do you know how to tell the difference? If not, It makes sense to use products intended for the technologies your motorcycle encompasses. There is way too much specialization in lubricants today, with formulations changing constantly to keep up with emission and economy regulations, to just dump in whatever lubricant is handy. Even products that picture motorcycles on the labels may not be compatible with every motorcycle. An air cooled, slow turning 1300cc V-twin with dual sumps has very different requirements of its engine oil than a water cooled, 10,000rpm 250cc single with a single sump. I expect the shop manual lists lubricant specifications and those should be adhered to--at least check and make sure what you are thinking of using meets the requirements. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. Never know until you check.

Like you say, it could be an intermittent fault. I Will be keeping a close eye on the oil level and change it out often. As you have pointed out, I don't want to shag the bearings or the clutch. I guess it could also begin to degrade the seals too. |

I would certainly change the injector, but I always prefer to have solid evidence to back up my theories. That said, I also agree with Veteran that the injector is the only fuel link.

I agree that the fuel can't be good for the clutch. A certain amount of fuel always ends up in the bottom end during normal combustion, but not a level that you would ever notice. Perhaps you should check your venting system, just to be sure that it is free of any obstructions. I'm not saying the venting system is the cause, but I'd feel better knowing it is capable of dealing with the pressure.

Excellent! I surmised that the bell curve was torque, and it is almost the inverse of the fuel consumption rate curve, which makes perfect sense.
I am a little confused by the RPM data; do you think the chart is posting both crankshaft RPM and gear reduction RPM at the clutch?

Though it might be worth me disconnecting the tube for a while and monitor for any difference. |
