Title: liquid leak at exhaust on head
Post by: gsatterw on February 28, 2015, 08:51:16 PM
Just noticed this tonight. Bike has been sitting for a while, but I cranked it up today and took it for a spin. Ran pretty poorly until it warmed up a bit and got some old fuel through the lines. Never ran like I remember it running though. In 4th gear I couldn't get it near red line with WOT. Inspected head gasket, not coming from there. Any thoughts?

The fins to the right also look oily.  Might be a head gasket leak.  Degrease the lot and cover with baby powder,  take it for a ride and the leaks will jump out at ya
