Clean it all off and dry it and then spray TINACTIN foot powder all over the suspect area and ride the bike and look for the start of the oil leak in the foot spray.
Some models have an adapter that goes between the oil filter and the block. The oil pressure sending unit is nearby also. You may have to spray clean the area to find the leak.
You need to say how the bike is running, where the oil leak is coming from and see if you have any engine codes set. If you cannot easily find the source of the oil leak clean it all down and dry it and run it a short while until you see oil at a particular location and then it you still cannot identify precisely where the leak is coming from clean and dry it again and then spray Tinactin foot spray all over the area closest to where the oil reappeared and run it a little bit and the oil leak will be made evident to you by wetting the foot spray area.
Hello brothers...please help me .my karizma bike oil leaking from neutral switch .....showroom mechanic told me .. A clamp which hold tight the neutral switch is not there to your bike.....and spare parts also not available at ani places......help me
The oil you are seeing may very well be from the bike sitting. I have worked on many bikes that have had similar problems. The oil bypasses the rings and gets forced out the top of the cylinder. Once the bike has been used for a couple of days, sometimes a few days longer, the rings expand sealing the cylinder and thus no more oil. It would be a good idea to examine the cylinder bolts too to make sure that the oil is not leaking from the cylinder head.
When a bike, or any motorized vehicle or tool, sits for an extended period of time, parts that are supposed to be lubricated by the motor running will dry out or shrink. This can cause a decrease in engine life and costly repairs. Always try to start your bike, even if you don't ride it, and let it run through the warm up procedure everyday.
Even if the oil leak stops on your bike, you should still have the exhaust leak fixed. Grab the exhaust pipe, when cool :o), and see if you can feel any slack by pulling on it. I would spray a penetrating oil on the bolts, let it sit overnight, and then try to tighten, or replace, them yourself.
Well, what kind of oil does it seems like, a thin oil or thick oil?
Have you clen the bike and see where it might come from. By description, can not be pinpoint source location, have you check your fork, oil cooler connections, or even your LH engine to trace it's source?
Because if you are riding and oil splashes onto your pant legs can be caused by air pressure blowing a leak onto your legs. Hunt the source fisrt then wil try to fix it.
If the bike is a 2 stroke (you didn't say which model) then be sure there is oil in the gas (32 to 1). Get a fresh spark plug, clean the air filter, lube the chain and be sure the gearbox has oil. If more is needed, it means cleaning the carb again. Remove the carb then the float bowl and idle and air screws. Soak the entire carb in denatured alcohol for an hour. Now use carb cleaner in a spray can (with the plastic spray nozzle) and spray into every tiny little hole in the carb. Spray into the throttle and air screw holes very well and also the small drill holes in the throat of the carb. When you put the throttle and air screws back in place, turn them inward until they LIGHTLY seat then back each of them outward one and one half turns. This is the factory setting. If screwed in tight, you will damage the screw adjusters and the jets and the bike will not perform properly.
I am not clear about the high revs, but if you are saying the bike revs up and up to a high speed all by itself then there is an air leak between the carb and the cylinder. Old rubber fittings get dry and hard then get fine cracks in them. The extra air gets into the fuel mix due to the bad rubber seals and can cause the engine to rev upward. If the dealer doesn't have the parts (I don't know what year your bike is), go to www.babbittsonline.com/parts/viewbybrand/parts.aspx Chances are you can get the new parts there. Please rate my solution. thanks.
That is a lot of oil - is it blowing smoke? Is there any indication of where the oil is going?
The GSX engine is bulletproof - normally - and doesn't use much oil at all. I have serviced 35,000 mile bikes after 7500 miles and the oil has been spot on.
Looking on the net, it seems the 1400 is a bit vulnerable to oil-cooler damage. With an air/oil cooled bike this could be an indication of where the problem lies. The engine won't leak oil while stationary - well, maybe a drop... but when it is warm and under revs any hole in the oil cooler could be a direct exit point for oil. Look for stains on the exhaust headers - if you are driving and there is a leak, that'll be the first place the oil will go.
It would be the first place I would look - as well as oil cooler, pipes, connectors...
Run the bike for a while and try to inspect it to see if there are any leaks you can spot while the engine is running.
