Hi all,
Anybody had this one before.
Had the bike, 1999 curvy , on an abba stand to get the wheels off for new tyres so had to weigh the back down to get the front wheel out which meant the front of the bike was a bit higher than the back. After a week a small oil leak appeared which looked like it was from the right side of the engine as you sit on the bike. Put the wheels back on, bike back on the ground and propped the back on a paddock stand and the leak seems to have gone. I’ve never noticed any oil drips under the bike since I’ve had it and when I check the oil level it doesn’t need topping up.
Any ideas?
