Finebau said:Got the sump baffle plate modded to (almost) Match andrej's re-cut appertures and fitted it up during the 6k service where in went a new filter and the right amount of Agip 10/60 oil.
It's about a 100 mile ride back from the dealership, and i gave her a good work out to test the results. When i first parked the bike up, the drain hose was "dribbling for england" and soon there was a sizeable pool of fresh clean oil under the bike. I cleaned it up and stuck a drip tray underneath with a layer of clean newspaper over the top to see if there anymore after an overnight drain out. Next morning, there was not a speck of oil on the paper, and since then i've put another 400 miles of mixed but mainly hard use riding on the clock with no more leakage at all!
Just want to say a big thanks to Pete for his advice and prompt service in shipping out the Moto-Aus Tonti style baffle plate, and any of you guys who are unconvinced, believe me, this solution works! B)
Well it did reduce the oil leak for me a little bit but I am still leaving loads of it on the ground. Did 7500km on it already so it should really be run in enaugh not to leak so much by now.
I guess I will have to get the mechanic to take the engine and the blow-by box apart on the 10k service if it does not improve by then.
