what causes oil dripping from silencers?

[quadfever54]

what causes black oil to drip from my silencers. Is this from gas mix or maybe bad rings. I use amsoil at 50 to 1.

[frocashmoney24]

mixture for oil to gas may be to rich, or ya may be burnin tranny oil

[dnhyoung]

I would say that you are runing way too rich. I would do a plug chop and then let us know. I do know that they inside of my silencers has a nice oily residue, but definitely isn't drippping oil. I personally would rather run a little rich than risk burning something up, just not that rich.....just my .02

A think a buddy of mine had a bad crank seal and was leaking tranny fluid into the crank area.

 

Maybe

 

I would definetly take a look at the plugs first.

I think you would know if it was tranny fluid. I second what dnhyoung said. It sounds like you are way to rich.

If everything else seems fine it may just be the condensation "washing" the crude out. Think about how much moisture comes from your cars exhaust.

Does it load up and smoke real bad when you're just putin' around? If so your pilots could be too rich

If it leaks out the right side only then the crank seal is bad and needs to be fixed before your next ride. The bearing can get loose when the seal goes bad so be carefull.

thanks for all the replys, I pulled off the silencers (cascades and was going to repack them. when i stood them on end the left side drained out about a couple teaspoons of black oil like substance. I would thind that if it was condensation it woud have a milky look to it. the left side seems to smoke more when it is idling or warming up. I repacked the old toomey t4 silencers and put them on and the left side still seems to smoke a little more then the right. could this be in the carb adjustments?? the bike runs strong and does not bog down. I will have to take it out for a run down the road this weekend and pull the plugs and see what they look like. I am not quite sure of the lingo from dnhyoung about doing a plug chop, could some one explain

thanks again

Mine will do the same thing if I put around like a four stroke but no problem at all if I ride it like it's meant to be.

Maybe thats the problem, It runs great at the dunes, but between trips I like to start it up a couple times aweek , just like to hear her purr!!!! Maybe she loading up, run 50:1 amsoil, thinking about running the 100 to 1 at about 85 this spring.

Don't really want to mess with the jetting since it has keihn carbs and was built by LRD from the previous owner.

I also run synthetic amsoil at 50:1 (good shit) and the oil problem is the shee is not meant for idling long or low rpm riding. Just ride it like you stole it and you want have that problem anymore.

its a crank seal so keep a eye on your tranny oil because it will suck all of it out if u dont watch it it will end up in the left cylinder as well thats why its coming out of both sides.and theres no way u could be that rich in your carbs unless u put way to much oil in your fuel.
