    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

nice new build startup,looks like the engine oil has run into the secondary drive box and pushing out thro the vent under starter
 
We can guess which model you ride, but it's still a good idea to create a signature with your year/model. Good luck and welcome.
 
Mine does that but never gets too full.
I change the oil out every few thousand miles.
There is a thread here somewhere about splitting the case and replacing the seal.
 
Mine does the same. Case has to be split to replace the seal so for now I do frequent oil and gear oil changes. As for mine it seemed like around every 2k miles or so it would start to come out the breather hose.
 
Could someone if have time explain where
this secondary engine box is, that oil
leaks out from ?

I have stripped my engine and have never
seen anything like what is almost portrayed
here ?
My bike follows the normal 4st design with a
sump.......

(I'm gonna go back to the tarpaulin thread I think )
 
It's not really a box. It's a separate compartment in some shaft drive machines where the drive makes a right angle to face the shaft.
iirc 650 shaft do not have it.
It lives just inside the place where the drive sprocket is on a chain drive machine.
 
I see that makes sense ! Thought I'd
lost the plot on 4 st technology....

I assume we only use Greenwich nean time on this forum ?

Depends. If I log in the time stamps are local civil time. GMT or UT
Viewing the same posts not logged in the time stamp is four hours earlier.
I can view a post up to four hours before I will have had made it :)

I have my time set to the Eastern Standard Time (Daylight Savings during that part of the year)

A common cause for this is the carbs have leaked gas in the crankcase causing it to be way over full....
