Oil window info

[WVHotWheeler]

In the oil window where you check you oil level at there is a small metal triangle looking part should it spin at all times or not at all or when ? Help with this please, Droped my C 14 on some gravels and am in the process of putting all the plastics back at I put the twin exhaust on fired it up and could not remember if that part spins  or not.I hope the oil pump not gone :'(, no oil warnings just spent 3K on new parts,Thanks for any info.

No, nothing in the oil sight glass spins. If you do not have any red warning lights on the dash everything is almost certainly fine regarding oil pressure. Dropping the bike is also not likely to affect anything in the engine but especially not something like the oil pump.

The part in the middle of the sight glass? Yep, it is a machined piece of aluminum that works as a reflector so you can see if there is oil in the window. If the sight glass didn't have anything behind it, it would just be dark and you could not readily see the level of the oil.
