oil out of pipes

[northshore]

I have fmf fatties on my 03 banshee, and i keep replacing the orings and springs, but oil still keeps leaking out, is this from too much pre mix, or do the seals just go out. any sugestions? thanks in advance

Most of the time it is to much premix. Try going to a 40to1 mix on the oil you use now. Or try going to a good synthetic like Amsoil dominator and mix it at 50to1. Your jetting could also be rich. What does the plugs look like? Black and wet or light brown and dry.

the plugs are light brown

You should be able to run whatever you want for premix, the pipes shouldn't have any blowby. This will cause an inconsistent powerband or curve and can throw your jetting all over the place. Make sure your using high temp o-rings. I've never had a pipe leak, if it did, the new o-rings always fixed the problem. ARe you using factory o-rings?

i get the spring and seal kit from fmf everytime. anyone know how many rides it takes before you replace them?

3-4 years is what I get......I order them from the local stealershop....Its one of those parts that you don't see much for aftermarket.
