Moderator Cynic Posted August 10, 2012 Moderator Share Posted August 10, 2012 Ok, aircooled bike driping liquid gives us 4 options. Fuel Oil engine Oil gearbox and water from washing rain etc. Take it we can rule out number 4 You have removed fuel from the easy fixes so oil it must be. You say fuel/oil mix. Any concrete reasons for this or just guessing. What colour is the offending mix as gearbox oil is normally oil? coloured and the 2 stroke stuff is invariably a bright colour, normally red although blue and green are out there. You should really have a root around to find the point of the drip, where its coming from may well help. I have a feeling you may say front left but i'm not going further with that yet.

Moderator Cynic Posted August 10, 2012 Moderator Share Posted August 10, 2012 Have you taken it off for a lookie see? There is nothing behind there that CAN leak fuel and oil in any quantity without affecting the way the bike runs. Are you sure its not just the carb leaking a little and when yo have put it on the stand its run off to the left of the bike picking up some shit as it goes? Or is the bike not running well either?

Moderator Cynic Posted August 10, 2012 Moderator Share Posted August 10, 2012 Not wanting to be unkind but your replies are way too vague your not telling me anything worthwhile. You need to answer the questions with at least some clarity and as much depth as you can, and in a dicernable pattern if not order. Its doing my head in trying to match your answer to the nearest question you may be answering. Your not even bothering with any punctuation. Don't forget all i have to go on are your answers and working knowledge of a bike that i cannot see, hear, smell or otherwise. I'm not psychic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Cynic Posted August 10, 2012 Moderator Share Posted August 10, 2012 Don't go for that one, my daughter is dyslexic, as is my sister. Just clear answers to whats been asked, copy and paste is prob easiest then just add in your answer with a different text colour. We will get it sorted but i was getting more and more confused as we were so felt a fixit was needed. Getting you back on the road asap is the aim after all.
