I have what looks like emulsified oil coming from somewhere under the engine, I have looked underneath with a torch but cannot see any sign of where it is coming from. The engine oil is clean & the oil level is not going down, anybody got any ideas please.

If it only leaks when you park up after a ride, putting the bike on the centre stand - it's the air box vent tube clogged. Mine's just started again, I think it's the weather!

If it is clogged - take the airbox apart and clean inside thoroughly and also clean the hose running from the crank case to the airbox - that's where it is coing from!

Put a piece of garden hose on the main breather from the crankcase (by clutch actuator) to the airbox. Fixed. Do a search for the rest, I've typed it enough times!

Thanks to all who replied, I'll be cleaning airbox & vent tube at the weekend. That cures the symptoms and stops it for a day or a week. Replace the hose, and it's solved completely. SEARCH. |
