Alhazred Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 What do you guys think? Sticky float? I'm going to be doing some work on it soon so I'll be able to clean the carbs out. Will I be okay to keep riding it or is it doing damage by thinning out the oil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alhazred Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 I managed to get a good one. I can't detect any gas smell in the oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

checksix Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I think he means that if your oil level has risen since you changed it then you've got gas in the oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alhazred Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 I didn't think of that,it's fine anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Switchblade Posted September 12, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted September 12, 2014 If you start it up with the lid off the airbox, does the PCV tube from the back head have a lot of blow by. Other words is there a lot air coming from the blow by tube into the airbox ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alhazred Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 I'll have to test that tomorrow. What would this indicate? I'm trying no to jump to conclusions and thinking bad of rings or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying no to jump to conclusions and thinking bad of rings or something. Yeah but have you seen this before and is it getting worst ? And when you changed oil are you using the same oil as before ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alhazred Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Come to think of it I did notice some residue when I first got the bike this spring while I changed the air filter and I don't think it's any worse,just a light film. I switched brands but not type on the last change. Also,I left the filter alone because I'm going to change the oil again in a month or so when I put the bike away for the winter.

Member Contributer Switchblade Posted September 13, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted September 13, 2014 A little bit ok. Just make sure when you change the oil to check and clean the air box. The 6th gen is a little different it has a little galley where the oil from the PCV forms so when I change the oil I open the airbox and take a paper towel and wipe out the oil residue .

erbilabuc Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 this isn't a big deal. it comes from the pair system. delete the pair system and you will never see it again unless you route your crank breather into your intake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer gll429 Posted September 18, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted September 18, 2014 this isn't a big deal. it comes from the pair system. delete the pair system and you will never see it again unless you route your crank breather into your intake. this is NOT from the pair system.., the breathers ARE connected to the airbox straight from the factory .. the tube allows a mist of oil made by the spinning crank to vent back into the airbox vs out in the air. it is NOT a big deal. if it worries you in any way.. your can plug the airbox hole and route a longer tube up the back of the bike. either to a filtered vent or box or just open tube ... route it so the hose loops around the sub frame. and it will be nearly impossible to get dirt down to the crankcase.
