Motorcycle Repair: oil leak, valve guides, loose power


Question
i have oil coming out of the exhaust pipe on a 1450cc engine with only 2500 miles on it what would cause it to leak out? bike runs fine dont loose power when riding

Answer
there can be two reasons for oil coming out the exhaust. Oil is leaking past the valve guides or oil leaking past the rings on the piston. You would have to pull the top end and check the cylinders for damage as well as the valve guides
Good luck and happy riding
