r6 problem..HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
ill keep it short..i put my bike on the 12 bar,started it up when on it and scraped it down the rd ..1st time tryin it and all went wel till i droped it down and it cut out..when i tryed to start it i heard a snap or bang from the engine and oil started comin from between the carbs and cylinders..when i took it off all 4cylinders were full of oil and so were the carbs.IV CLEANED IT ALL OUT AND ITS RUNNIN NOW BUTDONT WANNA TRY IT AGAIN IN CASE....ANY IDEAS WHAT WENT WRONG..all i can think is i toped up the oil that night and may have over filled it....

Re: r6 problem..HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
oil is coming from your engine breather tube on the top of the motor wich goes directly into your airbox. solution: run rubber tube from engine to a catch bottle( i strapped mine to pass right peg), then a seperate tube from bottle to airbox. loop that tube around a couple times to make sure the oil doesnt have a chance to get to airbox.
what he said!!
