Hey all,
I wonder if anyone might have a thought regarding something I discovered on my Griso today. As I was putting my bike away tonight after two days of great riding I noticed that there was an oily film on the ninth fin down from the top of the right hand cylinder. It covered most of the length of the fin and there was also a little on the next lower (10th) fin which does not stick out as far as the top nine. It does not seem to be enough to actually drip but I am concerned this might get worse.
Does this indicate a problem with a seal or is this small amount normal from time to time???. I assume it isn't but I have seen some pretty dirty / oily cylinder heads on other bikes so thought I'd ask. It was the warmest two days temp wise that I have ridden in but at most only 77 deg. so I would think that should not be a problem.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Ed
