Today was the First Real ride for the Ninja.
Stopped at Speedway down the street and filled it up with 92 and took off for Iron Pony to get a Jacket.
It Ran Wonderfully for the first 16-17miles then it started Free Revving again:panic: And at 10miles it starts smoking and dripping oil.
Pull over and it looks like the Over flow/vent since i knew it was over full i cleaned it up and let cool down a bit and took off again.
And it started again(okay maybe i put ALOT of oil in it before winter)
18miles later its still spewing oil and its between the Fill marks.
So i get it off in a parking lot at Easton Mall and pull the seat off and its the damn Valve cover! on the Right rear side(mind you when i ran the valves the mount snapped off before i got it Torqued down to spec:idk:)
I made a big bead of Black RTV and it Sealed up...well i though it did.
But Hey in 18.9 miles i didnt wreck it even with an oil covered tire(just fish tailed once and spun the tire at a stop light and no rear brakes)
So now i get to hunt down a Right Rear Cam cap and get a new Gasket along with new Carb boots...Dammit
Piece of shit bike >__<
