hi all
first let me apologise for my lack of knowledge here - blame it on the noobyness
was cleaning my bike in the loverly weather just now and noticed that the exhaust pipes were very oily. Not were they extrude from the bike, but underneath the bike - under the fairings and eveything. So question 1 - is this right? the oil was kinda sludgy and was all over the pipes and other bits at the very bottom of the bike. then i decided to start her up and leave her running for a while and noticed that when the pipes started to heat up, whispy smoke started to come from the underneath of my bike. im thinking thats the oil start to heat up and burn off, right? so im guessing i have an oil leak somewhere, right?
any help, or just a 'yes, u have an oil leak' is appreciated lol.
thanks
alex
