zinger nation Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 buddy took his pipe of to clean, when he pulled it off he said oil actullly poured out yup, he said poured out of the pipe. both sides did. At first i thought way rich, he is running 320 on just piped bike@ 4700FT, but im starting to wonder why his trans oil is way low. Bad seals maybe??????? the bike runs fine though.

locogato11283 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 320 mains and 4700 feet sounds too rich to me. what fuel/oil mix is he running? that could also be a problem. what mods does he have? its very unlikely that the seal is bad and tranny oil is getting into both cylinders, then into the pipes.

locogato11283 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 it will run with a wide variety of jets. that doesnt mean its not way too rich. 320 sounds pretty big to me at that altitude. you figure out the fuel/oil mix?

sheefreak Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 ya just called him he runs it 32/1. he belray 2 stoke oil. If he is losing tranny fluid, I would be concerned about the crank seal. Loco is correct in that it is way too rich as well. I would bet you have a bad right side crank seal as well...

locogato11283 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 i dont know what that oil recommends, but 32:1 is a pretty rich mixture. im runnin klotz at 50:1. at 32:1 he could be having some oil not burned off all the way, causing it to get pushed into the pipes. i would say that combined with jetting being too rich is your problem. as far as the tranny oil leaking into both cylinders and pipes, i would say thats pretty unlikely.

sheefreak Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I have not seen it get into both cyls, but if it was run that way for a long time it is possible. The two are not sealed from each other, hence the reason you plug both sides when you do a leakdown test... Get your jetting figured out and go from there. I have run 32:1 w/no problems before. But I ended up running 40:1 w/klotz when I ran gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
