wierd oil leak maybe?

Post by deathcomesarippin »

I have noticed on the right plastic underneath the driver seat looking from the back of the bike some kind of liquid that looks like it is being sprayed on, I checked the brake fluid and oil levels and both are good, im guessing maybe its a little bit of oil being sprayed out at a time but I odnt know where from. ill get some pictures soon to make this easier

finally another one from florida!!!

anyways...Im guessing its a oil leak also...check where all the seals are that contain oil. (both right side engine covers, head gaskets)
could also be coolant coming from a hole in the hose...
one way to test your radiator hose is to turn your bike on and rev it to a high rpm and if theres a hole then coolant will be sprayed out of it...

just make sure you tighten them enough.
they have a spacer that will allow you to tighten it without overtightening it...

tampa is close to me
