Oil in Rotor housing / Decompression cable

[Dexter600]

Hi all Sorry if this is a stupid question.... I have just put an XL600R back together from a box of bits, got her to run for a few minutes, but I noticed there is oil inside the left hand casing ( Rotor) Should there be oil in there?

My other problem is.. I fitted a new decompression cable from cylinder head to handlebars, but even though its a Honda part, the cable seems too short. When you turn the handlebar on left lock, it opens the decompression valve.

Does anyone have a picture or something that can help? Maybe its the wrong lever or something simple like that. Ive tried different cable routes from workshop manuals etc... but it still opens the valve. Help

Thanks in advance John

There should be oil in there so no probs. Can't help with the de-comp cable sorry.

Which side of the left hand switchgear is the bracket for the decomp cable fitted?-I have mine on my XR400 fitted inboard of the switch block.
