Hi All....I know this was covered a few weeks ago (trying to get to the magic 50), have same problem. Been bleeding the oil pump till the cows come home! Have a look at the video on youtube, are the amount of air bubbles aceptable, also note at the end how much oil I have been bleeding. Thanks for any and all help.  |

are you opening the oil pump right out ? ie pulling pump cable right out so pump is on full chat ?

iam sure you should not be running the bike with the bleed screw out  It will be sucking in air at the pump I do mine when its not running . just let it drip oil till there are no air bubbles coming out of the pump  |

The bleed screw should only be out to bleed the feed pipe to the pump with the bike NOT running, once oil comes out replace the screw, with the bike on TICK OVER rotate the wheel with the throttle cable attached to it, to fully open. You will see the oil going down the pipes in little pulses left then right. very soon all air bubbles will dissappear.
All you are doing at the moment is sucking air in through the bleed screw hole.

(ie in oil line from pump tp carbs) |

As said above, you need to put the bleed screw back in otherwise you are just pulling air into the pump.
I've got black feed lines on mine, that way I don't get paranoid by keep checking the feed lines ;D
Ignore this post....must learn to type faster lol. 2 other people replied while I was typing

Yes, looks as though your trying to bleed both parts at once. Bleed the oil tank to the pump 1st without engine running, then bleed pump to engine with engine running.
