Help! I took my 2001 FE501 out for a ride this weekend when I discovered something rather puzzling. At the start of the ride the bike ran great but later on I noticed a hesitation on the lower end of the throttle range. I had been riding at a consistent high RPM range for long periods of time due to the fact that I was on the street and when I would hit the slower technical stuff and I needed only a little throttle there would be some noticable chop or hesitation. I did notice after the long ride that there was oil in the bottom of the sock and the sight level on the engine oil window was completley to the top. I recently changed the oil and I only added 1QT to the bike. Is it possible that the engine is over full and it is blowing out the extra into the carb sock causing this hesitation? Secondly is there a way that I can vent the crankcase so the blowby oil recycles itself through the motor rather than draining back into the carb/frame? I have searched the site trying to find out how this can be done but I cant seem to remember the right thread where I thought I saw it before. Any pictures to help would be much appreciated.
Sounds to me it is overfull when cold oil at half on glass and warm three quarters of the way on glass thats why you have excess oil in airbox .Judge filling your bike with oil by looking at the site glass as you fill it.
thanks titan, it does look like I have the engine overfull. The sightglass is at 3/4 when the bike is cold so I guess I have to do another oilchange :x Oh well it good for the beast.
