I did an oil res mod on my 570 to increase the capacity. the first time i ran it, no problem just didn't work. I just rebuilt it with larger hoses. in the process, i overfilled the sump by 800cc, which then pushes oil to the res.
while running the motor, started to notice a healthy weep hole...
Last year I set out to replace my water pump seal on my 650; as a newbie, it took a few tries to get it right (more like 6 seals before she was water tight). I used the clutch cover gasket a couple times too many, and she had a small weep from day one. This never really bothered me until now...
Hey guys,
Had some trouble finding gears last night on the way home..when i got home i discovered that the clutch master is leaking from the plunger/piston area on the master. It looks like its been leaking for a little while but i hadn't noticed it.
Anyway, i checked the fluid level and it...
Hi guys, just noticed tonite i have a coolant leak coming from somewhere up under the fuel tank. I can see coolant running down one of the fuel lines and dripping onto the cylinder head, what could it be?
Hi can someone tell me if there will be some kind of oil seal behind my front sprocket. At first i thought my chain was over lubed but it seems to have oil coming from around that area.... Any help appreciated.
Hi Everyone.
Just recently bought a 2009 450. It was running smooth as the first few days but in the morning i noticed some oil drips. looks like it was coming from the crank cover? is this an easy fix or a big problem?
I had the problem with the weeping hole recently and a spring on gear selector so bike had been apart. Fixed both the problems, got a gasket cut for clutch side casing as nobody around me could order one in for the same week.
Put the bike all together filled up with oil, no problems. However...
Hello,
I just reassembled my engine (and used heat shrink to protect the water pump (WP) seal when fitting the side case). When I fired it up, coolant began leaking from the weep hole once the bike reached operating temperature.
I figured that it was the WP seal, so I replaced the old one...
I've got a leak ! 04 550 when I get back to the garage there's oil on the floor it's dripping from the tab on the bottom of the flywheel caseing .. please don't tell me crank seals as they just been done ?
Hi all
I have a very slow oil leak from my gear selector shaft, where it pops out from the left side engine case. As far as I know its a simple o-ring fix and most bergs do it to a certain degree anyway, but mine is beginning to get worse. Im going to tackle it before it completely lets go...
As I'm getting to know my (new to me) 2006 FE450E, I've noticed a coolant leak after a 20 or so mile ride on a warm day. I noticed some hissing/spitting when the bike was turned off and parked in the garage and and found the source to be spitting/bubbling in the area circled in RED at the...
Hi guys!
I went to my garage to test a few graphics I'm doing for my Berg and as soon as I got there, I immediately changed plans. This is what I saw:
Tried to follow it's path in reverse so I could find out where it came from and got more droplets of oil allover:
