I think you're getting confused. The GZ doesn't have an oil light.
Oops, our GZ actually belongs to my wife, so i've only driven it a few times, thought the GZ's came with a low oil light !

It does. It's called a flashlight aimed at the sight glass.

Re: Clutch and Ticking noise

I am curious why not to use synthetic in a high mileage bike, since I just changed to synthetic in my Shadow?

Re: Clutch and Ticking noise

Ok I drain about .5 quarts of oil, and the oil line in the little window or the oil light as water warrior wants to call it is just below the F line. I adjusted the clutch cable I thing it had to much play, after 2 day from when i draing the extra oil and adjusted the clutch cable I been riding it after school, and the shifting is getting better and the slipping is a lot less. like I said this is my first motorcycle maybe is me,I thing with the help from this forum and the how to's I'm going to be making the tune up my self. It look like the previous owner did not maintain the bike that good. The ticking noise is still their I'm going to try to make video of the noise this weekend. Thanks

10,000 miles, ticking in the engine, no records= I'd have the valve adjustment checked. And not just a listen, actually guage them.

I find that quite funny too. I was a water warrior for clean water and there are certainly a few waste warriors dealing with the waste end of the equation.

Not a problem in my books. A little added humor goes a long way. :2tup:
