midlifecrisis Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Every time I get a little oil overflow, or drips from my filters on my painted surfaces, it takes forever to get them and keep them clean. How do you guys keep the undercarriage clean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

06specialedition Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Every time I get a little oil overflow, or drips from my filters on my painted surfaces, it takes forever to get them and keep them clean. How do you guys keep the undercarriage clean? "Oil overflow" huh? where is this oil coming from? If would say if oil is dripping from your filters thats not a good sign Maybe be a little more specific..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koolguyson Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Pressure washer. Although you shouldn't have any regular oil leaks. These aren't Harley's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midlifecrisis Posted September 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Yeah, thanks for the clarification guys! Im talking if I have oil which blows backwards from the exhaust joint, and from the exhaust ports.. .....also when I put my foam filters on for the first time, excess oil (im talking a few drips over a week) dripped from the drain hole in the airbox and landed on the swinger. I have tried high heat silicone when reassembling, but it didnt stop the oil completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Oil shouldn't be dripping from either location. You need to pleat the air filter down with a paper towel before installing. Sounds like you need new pipe o-rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spurdy Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Yeah, I hate the oil from the exhaust as well. However, I have had good luck using high temp RTV when installing the pipes. SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
