OILING MOTOR

[nobbyjohn]

After every ride i have oil on the right side of motor, batt. cover well every where. Thought it was pushrod tubes but just found a drip of oil on the bottom side of air cleaner what could cause this. Would it be the piston rings.

You might be over filling your oil tank.

Is that horseshoe breather on both heads?
a. Yes, rings could not hold compression and blow past the rings.
b. Which now brings up: What is the compression reading?
c. Revving the engine up a lot can cause a lot of blow-off and send that excess to the air cleaner via the horseshoe breather tube.

Clean the whole bike with gunk/S-100 or some oil cutting agent so the bike is oil free.
a. Let the bike idle. See a leak? No.
b. Take the bike for a short ride. Any leaks? No.
c. Run the bike out with a farther loop home. Any leak now? Yes. Air cleaner area? Push rod area?
d. When looking for oil leaks, plant the eyes higher above the leak. It could trickle down higher above and you are looking eye level or lower.

Put a pantie liner inside on the bottom of the air cleaner housing. Change it after every oil change. Took care of my problem of the drip. Or go high tech and make a puke can.
Just remember these are female dogs.
