engine temp and oil valves cover

giorgos · Aug 6, 2012

Hello to all

i have notice to my bike after the last oil change the motor heats a lots usal the temp was around 67-68C now its usal to 77-78C should i worry?(the oil level looks good)

and i have some missfire when i close the throttle i open the air box and found a lit bit of oil inside.

and the last think i notice that the front cylinder is leaking oil under the exhaust bolts should i change it fast or i can leave it until i have time to change it?

I've kinda got the same as you on my bike.
Lots of fresh oil residue coming from the valve cover gaskets, Think it was from when I put too much oil in.
Did you do the correct procedure for refilling the engine oil? I.e. checking oil when engine is hot?

My bike normally runs 77-78C on the open road, but upto 90-95C when I am stuck in traffic. Is that not normal?

72-73C is my normal operating temp, the fans come on at 95C (One side effect of using 10/40 oil is that the engine does heat up a bit quicker)
