Re: A coupple of problems on maiden run
The oil blowing out the breather sounds like a rings problem,have you got a compression tester?
As the battery,did you run a meter across the terminals when running? Oh no i really didn't want to have to take the engine out again If it is the rings is it the sort of job that could wait for the winter, I can put up with the expense of buying oil but really don't want to have the bike off the road so soon again Ran a meter across the battery, its not a digital, but the needle showed around 14v with engine speed about 1200 rpm. When running with lights on they get brighter as the revs increase. |

Re: A coupple of problems on maiden run
not to be a worrier but if it's blowing out half a sump full every few hundred miles it's not good,could be dodgy,especially if it gets on the rear tyre,your choice.....
compression should be between 157-185 psi(11-13 bar),if it is rings try some ring seal and cross fingers,it could be the valve guides and seals but you normally get white smoke with that,lots of it. |

Been doing some reading (yep its a quite afternoon at work) on tinternet about ring seal and also engine restore, all sounds good and that it may help with problem if it is rings, until you read a small paragraph on the engine restore site that its not really suitable for wet clutches, if the ring seal does a similar job I asume that that wouldn't be good for clutch either? any thoughts
