Hi guys,
A couple of days ago I smelled burning oil and a small puff of smoke visible in the headlight as I warmed the bike to get off to a nightshift. As I was aware the clutch slave cylinder was leaking I put it down to that - ordered a new slave cylinder ($103.00) and put it on today. There was brake fluid all over the place. Imagine my surprise when i was putting the left side fairing panel back on and found oil all over the lower inside. Put Social Sip off for tonight and took both fairing sides off loking for the sourse of all that oil. There is a large external oild feed from the oil radiator to the motor at the front of the motor. Oil all over it. Turned the motor over and ran it until the thermo fan cut in, bloody oil oozing from the bottom of the gauzy looking fabric part of the line. This really seems strange. Has anybody else had a failure like this? The thing is behind both radiators so it seems impossible to have been holed by an external agent/thing.
