Sight Glass Dampness
2wheelsagain Mon 06 Dec 2010, 5:15 pm
I was doing my normal sunday check over and polish of the B1250 and found a film of oil on the outside of the sight glass.
Not enough to drip but enough to collect a bit of dust an enough to keep an eye on.
Anyone else found this? There are no other oil weeps anywhere else on the bike.

Today I was doing the regular sheck and clean of the B1250 and came to the sight glass
Its been 5 weeks since I first noticed a slight oil dampness and today it was enough to form a small pool below the sight glass.
If it gets to the p!ssing out stage I will have to pull it off and see what the deal is.
Keep an eye on yours.

It may be worth giving it a go under 'good will'. I know some manufacturers (don't know about Suzuki) will come to the party for either labour or parts for some things even after the warranty has run out.

Yeah good point. Thanks Mick. Could have done something yesterday. Not off again until next Monday but it will be worth riding to my nearest dealer then.
