hey guys,
my sons mate just got this bike and i noticed a lot of fumes carrying oil coming out of the pipe on the left hand side outer cover. looking at the schematics, it would seem this is just a pressure relief pipe but the pressure coming out seems a lot. i have 2 theory's but would like an opinion before i start pulling apart. 1st is it could be a ring leaking, allowing too much pressure into the sump? bike does not blow smoke though? 2nd is a seal is blown either on the oil pump or between this case and the next.
any help would be appreciated here. i was thinking of pulling this cover off and having a look at oil pump first as its not a big job and going from there?
cheers, matt
