nhchris Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 And we know from the sight glass that the crankcase is not overfilled? Is there evidence of oil in the air box or upper regions of the motor? Have you tasted stain to help with ID? Burned taste not good. 1968 Triumph Bonneville 650 1971 Norton Commando Roadster 2002 Harley 1200 Sportster 2003 Honda ST 1300 2016 FJ 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oregonian Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 Oil level is in the middle of the sight glass when on the centerstand. No clue about oil in upper part of motor or airbox. I'll take for a longer ride and see take more pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oregonian Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 More pics - from a 45 minute ride. Oil is now showing up on both sides of where the gasket is located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buggy Nate Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 You haven’t just lubed or had the clutch cable lubed have you? That stuff can leech out for a while… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oregonian Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 That could be it - I upgraded the old one with a new one within the last 200 or so miles of use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oregonian Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 I bet Buggy nailed it. I will ride the bike a bunch and keep wiping the crap away. Thanks to everyone here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
