Hi,
I recently bought my 2005 carby Bonneville 790. It has 2000ks on it and because it had been sitting for so long I decided to change the oil.
It had the fairly common problem of leaking oil at the rocker gasket at the top so I changed that along with the oil filter.
I drained the oil and refilled with Shell ASX 4T 15-50 and was very careful not to overfill.
I then went for a small ride today (20ks max) only to stop because oil was pouring out of everywhere! A large pool of oil formed underneath the bike and oil seemed to be seeping out of every possible place!
Has anyone had a similar experience or have any idea what has happened to my bike!?
Thanks
