    Small oil leak - water pump tube

    Thanks ! ;-) I can see a pipe coming from the top of the valve cover, curving inwards, under the airbox. And as far as i can see, it doesn't look pinched. Don't know if it's the right one to look at... Anyway, in about 1.800 miles i'm taking the bike to the shop and i'll wait until then. (...

    Small oil leak - water pump tube

    I thought this below could be related to it...looks full of oil and i know it's connected to the bottom of the airbox. I'll have to try and check it, but most likely, it'll get done by the shop since i suppose it'll envolve removing the tank and other stuff to get there.

    Small oil leak - water pump tube

    I have the same feeling....it shouldn't leak, not after replacing the entire pump. I need to have this checked by the shop, if someone can point / show where this crankcase breather hose is located...it could help. Anyway, do you suggest if this other hose is somehow blocked, it could cause...

    Small oil leak - water pump tube

    Well...it still has a bit of oil coming out after a ride and it's not old oil...nothing dramatic, but still not sealing properly and it's a new pump. I'll have to wait and see if it is a question of the seals being new....but not what i was expecting after replacing the pump.

    Recently started stuttering at low RPMs, loss of power in high gears over 4k RPM

    Do....Valve clearance / adjustment....TBS....check the coils for corrosion ( if there is rust, most likely won't help neither...repair or replace )....replacing the fuel filter ( aftermarket items do exist ) can help too. Pretty sure it'll run fine after a bit of mechanical TLC.

    Small oil leak - water pump tube

    Thanks for the tip, yet again ! ;-) I'll have a look 1st to see how it's on. If it was me doing it, i'd have cleaned it, but i doubt most shops go to that length..... I also had the feeling it could be old oil, but how much oil can there be in a hose...? Maybe enough to do this, who...

    Small oil leak - water pump tube

    It was done at the shop, not by me. I also had the same thought ( some old residue....), but i seriously doubt that they did that.... Anyway, it seems to seep in after a ride, and i've done a few since i got it installed. Not much, but it's there. I can still just take the skid-plate to access...

    Small oil leak - water pump tube

    Brand new pump in, a couple of weeks old...but i still do have a slight coat of oil showing up after a ride, like a drop that stays at the tip of the tube. The guys at the shop said it's ok and should stop after a while, after everything bedds in. My expectation, was for nothing to show up and...

    Small oil leak - water pump tube

    Thanks for the feedback ! :-) I'll keep an eye on it, if it starts happening more often or becomes more abundant, i'll get it sorted, even if it means a new pump. My bike has roughly 52.200 miles.
