I'm using 20W50 in mine, but still experience a strange phenomenon...

I don't see the little led come on until after a highway run and then
at idle it flickers...sometimes lights solid, but once RPM's are up it
goes away...

We just had 'er apart back in February to do the heads and I am told
(someone else did the heads for me...) the hash marks were still on
the cylinder walls...

Could my rings be worn? Bearings? I have had folks say not to worry
since it goes away once you put it under load (RPM up).

Thoughts?
