#69691 confederate (User) The South shall rise again... Junior Boarder Posts: 123 Is some oil sweating normal? 4 Years, 2 Months ago   Hello Brothers, I was in the garage tinkerin' around and noticed some oil sweating on the both cylinders by the bolt in front of the spark plugs. It wasn't real wet but you could see where it was on the cooling fins. I didn't get to ride much this winter, only a few times. Is this normal when the bike sits for a few weeks at a time without riding? I plan on cleaning the engine after I do the oil change and ride her to see if it is still happening. It may have been there all winter and I just didn't notice. I have the YES warranty, so I'm not too concerned about getting it fixed if anything is wrong. Let me know what you think about this. Thanks in advance! confederate gt   Logged     [color = FF0000][/color]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #69693 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am.. Moderator Posts: 9221 Re:Is some oil sweating normal? 4 Years, 2 Months ago   That's a head bolt, and there's not much chance it's leaking oil, probably came from the spark plug or valve cover... did this happen on both cylinders..? a loose plug could cause it..   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #69704 confederate (User) The South shall rise again...

Hey there Flashback, Yes, it is on both cylinders but more so on the rear cylinder. It does look like it may be coming from the valve covers. It is not wet, but you can tell some oil has gotten on to the cooling fins. I will check the plugs. Thanks for your help! confederate gt   Logged     [color = FF0000][/color]   The administrator has disabled public write access.
