Just got it firing!
Hi all, hoping you might have some ideas for finding an oil leak my bike developed recently. I have a 2012 1200 sport with 32K on the clock. The leak is not a real bad one yet; but I am finding it hard to pin point the source? I could see some oil seeping around from behind the bottom of the LHS piston barrel after a long ride (1000km/s over two days)? So I pulled the tank and air box off when I got home, so I could get a better look. I found some oil pooled in the very bottom of the "V" on the top of the crankcase in the casting indentations between the barrels and then when they filled up it has ran over the shoulder of the crankcase fanned by the air rush and then became noticeable on the side of the crank case just in front of the LHS barrel? When I had a good look with the tank and airbox off, I thought the source was oil dripping from the hose clamp(s) at the top of the air box oil vapor collector? As the hose clamps had oil on them. So I tightened these up and cleaned all the the oil away. However after 1500Km/s of continuous running its come back. It must be something else like the oil pressure sender perhaps as that's in the vicinity? Anybody had a similar issue and can shed some light perhaps? I am going to have to pull the tank and air box again for another look..... I did carefully check the braded oil lines last time as another potential source and they seemed OK also?
Any help would be good.
Cheers all, Paul.
