Looking for help with some fluid that came out of my breather pipe after a slow speed washout. Probably doing 5 to 10mph in gravel when the bike slid out and the front laid tilted down for a bit.
The fluid smelled like oil and was mostly dark brown/black but maybe had some blue tint to it when I wiped it up?
The oil level is still good on the bike and I dont see any case damage. I also do tend to keep my oil at the higher end so I assume the fluid is most likely discharge of excess oil from gravity after the tip over. The bike ran fine after the crash and I only noticed the fluid when I was cleaning my bike and found it on the frame and on the stand. Looking for any feedback/experience. Thanks.
Yeah, you’re most likely ok. Keep an eye on it, but most likely will be fine.
To be safe, you should split the cases and do a thorough check. 😏
I went ahead and just bought an entire new bike. Even safer.
If it were a Honda your entire airbox would be filled with oil! Happened to one of my bikes recently
