wild foamy Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 possibly a hole in one of the pipes, most likely the feed pipe coming from the oil tank, remove the tube and replace it, i wouldnt advise riding the bike in its current state and it will most likely be deprived of oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wild foamy Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 the breather pipe should be in the top of the oil tank point downwards, there should be a feed nipple on the bottom of the tank with a pipe going to the oil pump in the engine (RHS engine case), its best to repalce the pipe as holes are not always visible. if there is oil coming out of the overflow this indicates you have added two much two stroke oil to the tank it may also be possible that your oil tank has a crack in it, if this is the case then you may be able to drain the tank, clean it and apply a small amount of epoxy resin or cyanoacrylite (basically superglue) to the crack to seal it. hope this helps Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wild foamy Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 did you overfill the crankcase with oil?, consult your haynes manual for the correct measurement, my manual even has a diagram and measurements for making a "dipstick" to check the oil level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
