I just bough a 1999 R6 over the weekend, seems to run and ride fine, just that when I park it up & leave it it slowly leaks some oil or fuel onto the ground, not a great deal but it seems to be a constant leak.

It seems to collect in the bottom of the fairing as there is a puddle in there, then finds it way onto the ground.

Now is this normall, I know my CBR6 used to have a pipe for excess fluids and drip onto my chain, maybe it's just leaking wrong? or maybe the bike needs a looking at?

Anyhow if anyone has any ideas it would be much appriciated..

Cheers Sam..

Is a pain, especially when you expect a working machine from a garage!! still I will investigate over the weekend & see if I can identify whats going on. Spoke to garage i got it from and they will look at it on Sat for me!!! Let's hope it's simple :P

Well it turned out to be coolant making a mess all over the floor, could not identify where it was coming from, but jusding by the coolant levels being empty in my bike it was easily identified..

Lucky for me I have only had this bike one week now so although no warrty was given the garage has just taken it off my hands and are going to fix it up free =) & so they should if you ask me!!

So lookout road for tomorrow I will be back :P

MCN show coming up soon guys, shall we have a PH meet? maybe we should make a new thread for this..

Cheers for your addvice,

Sam..

Hey Dave,

London's the word for Sat, went out with Gaz on Wed to poole quay, little did we remember the meet was Tue!! Fools!!!!

But Sunday is open for buisiness, spoke to Gaz and was looking a heading from salisbury-ports down hill (portsmouth)-up near chi (cant remember the name of meet) & then off to wherever,

This is all provided the weather is nice!!!! It is questionable at the moment...

But yer if your free then will be cool =)

Sam...
