 |  Light oil leak
OK, im breaking down and asking some opinions here The scenario After the bike has been riden for a while I can see oil seeping down on the left side of the bike along the crankcase. The oil is coming from inbetween the two cyclinders, somewhere on the back of the front cyclinder, but I cant pinpoint where from. Also, on the right side of the bike, on the front of the case where the case connects to the engine there is oil seeping out there as well, but not alot and only in the front. I was running Royal Purple motorcycle oil, have since changed to ammsoil and while it has gotten better its still doing it. I can not see a loss of oil in the oil window over 3000Miles-oil change interval-so its not losing alot of oil, but its still losing some. Would a crankcase breather fix this? Or what could be causing the oil seepage? Also if this has anything to do with it I have noticed when cold it ticks, once warm-maybe 5 minutes-it stops. Mechanic said the cam chain is lose Bike is 2006 boulevard M50 with hypercharger-cobra pipes and FI2000R with 15K miles on it. Thanks |
