oil spill

[taylor]

while in a wheelie does anyone else have oil spill from the motor? its not a large amount. this only happens during longer wheelie not the quick up and downs

where is the oil coming out of??

 

[taylor]

looks like its spilling from the top of the head or from the rear of the motor. its not enough to drip but it does build up.

crankcase breather maybe?

Are you positive it's leaking while in a wheelie? Could it be a rocker box gasket leak that you just noticed after the wheelies?

^^^ I think Buell Cru has it. Crankcase breathers could definately throw out some oil, but if you're actually seeing a "spill" I'd wager it's a rockerbox gasket.

i wheelie a lot and my oil is burning a lot now [confused] i smell burning oil after running few wheelies. anyone knows what the deal is?

im going to keep it on two wheelies for a day or two and then ill check the oil spots. maybe it is a breather.
thx
