cheny Posted July 17, 2016 Share #1 Posted July 17, 2016 embarassing moment. Was parked in a garage with 3 harleys. The only oil spot was under the Yamaha. I have an 08 venture and I am getting an oil drop from the breather hose. Not much just a little drop. any sugestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowpuc Posted July 17, 2016 Share #2 Posted July 17, 2016 If I fill the crankcase on my 1st Gens to full with oil they will aspirate oil and I will get stuff like that,,,, maybe check your oil and make sure your not to far above 1/2 up the sight window on oil. Check it cold with the scoot standing upright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vzuden Posted July 17, 2016 Share #4 Posted July 17, 2016 As puc said, if you are over the mid point, bike level, cold engine, it will pull oil up into the air ducks under the tank and make a mess. I did it once, early on and had oil dripping out of the plastic ducts and down the the side of the carbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted July 17, 2016 Share #5 Posted July 17, 2016 Yet another YUP!! Overfilled crankcase!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG Hawks Posted July 17, 2016 Share #6 Posted July 17, 2016 First time I changed oil that's what happened to me. Of course asked the family here and they told me all I needed to know. Just remember when the Harley stops the Yamaha keeps going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowpuc Posted July 17, 2016 Share #8 Posted July 17, 2016 Another thought,,, you runnin with them Harley's or used to luggin a big twin? Is it possible that you have been luggin the motor on your Yammer following or riding it like a Harley? While our V-4's are really pretty torquie - they actually like to be spun up a little higher than a big twin.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djh3 Posted July 18, 2016 Share #11 Posted July 18, 2016 One of the guys on a Victory site I'm one was out on a weekend trip I think he said with guys on HD. One morning they came out to load up and his was the only bike with an oil puddle under it. Turns out one of the Harley guy thought it would be cute to put some bacon grease under his to make it look like it was leaking. Only RSV I have seen have oil under it and not be the over fill issue are the ones with a blown rear shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
