Hey Bob from Nairne South Australia

Seems like you've got some Stirling advice. Mine blows a little oil by sometimes and for no reason. These motors like the Harley's also have a long stroke and I'm sure that's got something to do with it. Look forward to some pix of your ride.

Re:Hi to ALL (help) 11 Months ago  
if you changed the oil and used more than 4 quarts you could be getting some blow bye. these motors dont like the factory spec for oil amount. mort

Re:Hi to ALL (help) 11 Months ago  
from Murphy NC .... I would be looking at the crankcase breather hoses real close... sounds to me like that could most likely be the issue... +1 on the oil level... no more than 4 quarts with filter change...
