My bike drips a little bit every time i put it on the stand. maby its just oil from when i lean the bike over to put it on the stand?

anyone have any ideas, looks like the hose just comes from the crankcase?

Powervalve breather tube. It's normal for a little oil to leak out. if it's anything like a yamaha, the tube is plugged in midway up the chamber so it holds in nasty used 2-stroke oil to lube the workings of the powervalves. Then when you tilt it to put it on the stand it comes oozing out. perfectly normal in my book. Unless honda is differant?



If you can't afford a new four stroke, you can't afford a used one either!

Thats perfect, thanks.

Should i take this as a sign i should clean the powervalve? I've never done it before. I want to get a shop manual for my bike.

usually a sign to give it a cleaning, but the bleeder valve is there to drain that stuff out so it doesn't gum up the valve ;)

Okay I gotta question for you guys. My breather hose is missing, and there supposed to have like a filter on them or something? should I leave it? There isn't any grease or anything near it...

Just the hose is missing? on the yamaha bikes all it is, is a blow off opening when you shut the bike off drains out the un-burnt oil onto teh floor so it doesn't gum up the valve and pucks in the powervalve.
