Help,

I've had the 1987 fz600 for a couple of months now, its always run a little hot

but i have noticed a big change in heat.

There is steam coming from under the tank and the engine is red hot. Even the fairing is very hot to the touch

after a run down the motorway.

Any ideas?

I have just started biking again after 8 years and i dont remember any bikes running this hot before.

I believe the engine is air cooled, looks pretty dirty around the top of the engine, not leak onto the floor

but oil present around the top.

Also thr oil light keeps coming on, I filled it up with oil again last week and its coming back on already.

Found one possible solution:

The oil has been leaking from the chamshaft seal and dripping over the exhaust. The bike has been

overheating due to very little oil left.

Looks like oil is leaking from the bottom of the oil cooler as well.

Does anyone know where I can find the oil seal? It looks an easy fix but I looked at memoto

and cant find this particular part.

Also looking for a lower fairing section as well

Thanks
