Title: Looks like I have a leak.
Post by: pomme123 on April 08, 2014, 08:14:32 PM
Looks like when I dumped it the other day I did a little more damage than I thought. I was wondering if you guys could help me know what the issue is here. There's black slightly viscous fluid coming out of the bottom left hand side of the bike. So in thinking its oil. But from where. Any guesses(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/09/2ara9e5a.jpg)(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/09/3apevame.jpg)(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/09/4ery5ahy.jpg)

take off the sprocket cover and clean everything up nicely; that will make it easier to see where it'c coming from.

Also scrub things clean. Baby powder the areas. Oil leak source will show up as a stain in the baby powder and your motor will smell fresh as a baby's behind.
