Oil leaking from pipe! - SV650.org

29-06-10, 09:24 AM

Noticed oil under the bike on the gear side today, think its coming from a black pipe that hangs down just next to the idle adjuster. Is this pipe meant to be capped off? And where is the oil coming from? ( where does the pipe connect to?)

Sorry it was too good to resist.

Sounds like its coming from one of the breather pipes to the air box.

No, it shouldn't, has the pipe perished and leaking a bit of oil, or has it just become detached from the airbox

Lift the tank & take off the air box. I think there's 3 hoses connected to the airbox, plus at least another one which is not connected to anything, which should be capped IIRC
