Just got it firing!
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can offer. A few days ago, I noticed the front of the engine case and the lower scoop on my Norge were coated with old oil residue and the dipstick oil level was down about 1.75 quarts. I sprayed off the muck and refilled the crankcase. After a 300 mile ride, i looked again, and the whole front of the plastic alternator cover is again coated, but this time with nice, fresh oil. Before I get crazy and begin the task of dismantling the covers, do you have any insight into what I may expect to find? I like to have all the replacement parts on hand before beginning a repair. Also, what is the general consensus on oil viscosity? The manual calls for 10-60 and I can only find it locally in a very pricey Motorex Synthetic. The bike lives in the California desert.
