oil on the swingarm

Post by davenoel70 » Thu Jun 17, 2004 7:42 pm

I have a friend with an A-16, he has oil all over his swingarm. He says that he had it to the dealer many times but was unable to solve the problem. He also says that there doesn't seem to be any oil missing when he checks the level. It has to be coming from there that is is the only place it could be. Please post if anyonw else has the same problem Thanx Dave A-16 Goose Bay, Labrador

Could be either oil from the chain or oil from the motor. My a9 with the scottoiler gets kind of messy. Does the bike have a automatic chain oiler? Probably irrelevant, but then again the oily swingarm might be related to the chain slack being too tight, and a leaky countershaft sprocket. need more information Thanks, Conall

My old KZ used to blow oil all over now and then. Level was always ok when checked right after. Of course it should have been ok then because it just blew the excess oil from being overfilled and adjusted the level down all by itself. If the KLR doesn't do this trick, would somebody who knows the facts pass them on? DC davenoel70 wrote:

There is a breather line which runs up to the left side front of the air cleaner housing, check to make sure its attached on both ends, if the bike is topped off with oil the likely place for oil to exit is right there.. Richy
