Too much Oil?

billabong78 · Jun 7, 2011

Last night i went out to my T and found a small pool of oil under it.
Cant see where it has leaked from at all. i have moved it and no new patches have appeared.
I took her out on Saturday for a 3 hour blast, this is the first time since i geve her an oil change that she has been given the real sausage (ragged to ****).

Maybee i over filled it. Any ideas?

If you had overfilled it, then maybe a small amount may have been pumped out down a breather pipe, but a pool sounds like more oil then I would think would be expelled.
You can check the breathers to see if there is any residue, and check around the oil filter and pipes for any obvious leakage. Other than that, check the sight glass on the oil reservoir, and if it's between max and min then just keep an eye on it, which is a good idea anyway.

Sounds like you may have spilled some when you changed the oil, and it has dripped onto the floor. As when you moved it, you said there was no more oil.
This happened to me on a fazer yrs ago. I checked it after a run and it was fine, so fingers crossed thats all it is. Keep up updated

Iff you over fild it on the service ,the crank case presher will push oil up the engin breather to the air box cleckter (iff you still have the air box on that is) , aspesherley iff you have been ragging it arownd . best thing to do is check it after a run and only keep the oil tank leval top'd up at the half way mark on the tank leval indecater ,Iff you do this you whont yous so much oil.

iff you keep topping them up to the Maxamem leval all the time while they sip it away ,you mite as well just tip the oil away some were as it will be coming out of you air box and spat out the back of the bikes cans ,such a wast of expencive oil . theys engins are dezinde to yous a bit of oil to keep them well lubed up top and botom end :thumbup
