okey dokey here's my weekend. after 2 weeks of monsoonal rain, a heap of parts for my mx6 (car) finally rocked up so after spending all saturday doing an engine install and seeing the physio on friday for a dammaged disc in my back (has stopped me riding for about 2 months) I decided sundy morning that the berg was gunna play in the mud.
2 k/m down the rd my berg gets a sound to it like the exhaust has fallen off. I think no big deal I'll pull over and fix it. NUTHIN, no bolts missing, nuthing loose, no holes. so I start her up again and she's all good. about 200m further down the rd it happens again but this time a massive loss of power. After finding a safe spot to pull over I notice my left boot and leg was covered in oil. as the bike is idling no oil is spilling out, but when I throttle it up a bit there is oil pissing out of one of the bolts on the left side of the head. There are 2 bolts that hold the rocker cover on either side of a disc. The front one is leaking. But the oil is literally coming thru the bolt. It seeps from under the bolt head not where the head and cover meet. Ps there were no major holes or cracks that I could see.
any way I decide to ride home. On the highway in 6th gear at 3/4 throttle I was cruising at 58Km/h. She usually does that in 2nd.
I haven't pulled the bike down yet cause the mx6 still needs a few minor things done before she can be driven. But I thaught I'd tell ya about my sunday ride and will keep ya informed about what is wrong with the berg.
