Oil circulation question!

[EvilMike79]

How can I tell if oil is properly circulating through my bike. Sounds like my bike is running dry but oil level is good. I have a 2001 blast. I changed my rocker gaskets and 2 weeks later started making a noise similar to lifter noise on car.

i dont know much about Blasts, but if they have the oil in the swing arm like the xb's you can just feel the swing arm when the bike is running. If its warm than you know the oil is circulating.

the oil in a blast is in the down tube.

Replace chain tensioner, if adjusting primary doesn't quiet it down. Most Primaries adjusted too tight if done to spec/book - 12 to 14 flats out is the recommended, by ear would be just when the noise stops - lol
