Member Contributer Philois1984 Posted May 2, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted May 2, 2020 I would think not, a photo would enable a far more reliable diagnosis from the more mechanically minded members of VFRD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted May 2, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted May 2, 2020 Replace the oil (always good thing to do on a new used bike) first. Make sure to remember the oil level. If that level rises ( and coolant drops) you gave a serious issue at hand I had a Sebspeed clear clutch cover and noticed that in colder weather, the inside of the window would show brown mayonaise. Which disapeared quickly when the engine was hot. No worries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
