Yep posotive it is oil, still wet on the V-Peice it is all cleaned off now and will see how it goes but a bit worried about riding it incase something else goes!!

Rob, have you got any oil running down your forks?

rob748b · 20-Jul-2005, 23:34

Nope checked all of that aswell mate, there is no oil running anywhere as far as i can see, got all the panels off had a good look round and can see nothing wrong anywhere, just oil on the v peice and on the inside of the right lower fairing , totally confused!!

Just ensure it's clean up as you've done, ensure oil is at the right level and then just keep an eye on it, thats all you can do.

Unless it suddenly starts spitting it out then I can't see anything to worry about.

Worst case it'll be a weeping gasket anyway so no real biggy, may even be that the head gasket that was replaced hasn't seated tightly enough, but if you've checked it for weeps then it may not be that.

I assume you've checked all gasket joins for weeps.

Yes mate done all of the above, just a bit confused as to where it has come from, maybe its my bike telling me to clean it more often!!??

hee hee your'e so funny dave!!!

All I know is I used to worry about every little thing about my bikes in the past and over time, just learnt to not worry about things as much.

Still be diligent and ensure everything is kept clean and topped up, bike warmed up correctly and serviced regularly.

Outside of that all there is left is to enjoy it

Not had any problems with the bike before this last week or so, so have been lucky really, just hope nothing major is on its way thats all!!

Cheers for all of your help much appreciated!!

Check your oil cooler hoses,if their the original duke ones,they are prone to splitting on the sleeve bit,mine have been misting out for a while and have now started to **** out...
