It's the subject title that's probably why people are thinking that. Yep i know mate  2 years old now. I had forgot all about the thread until it reared its head again. Never used magnatec and never will,cant even use heine gericke when my stash runs out as its discontinued as far as i know,same oil as motul good stuff. Think tweetypie needs to chill

never said i was using magnatec i use heine gericke 10/40 of which i have a good amount of stashed away,i only asked if this was a oil that could be used as it was cheap at the time.

Who cares..Carry on mate... You do what feels best for ya,
In fact let me help you...ALDI have an offer on, 5ltr car oil for £4.99 .... Hurry , but if you are going to ignore the labels on oil ... run your ZXR on their veg oil, a mouth watering 99p That would be ZRX not ZXR mate.  Think i would trust pal as he does a lot of engine work on the zrx forum of which i am a member as i also have a zrx1200r,he can strip your engine and make your bike give you a big smile.

No, just going to put it down to condensation as since the warmer weather is coming seems to be a lot better,had to clean inside of clutch housing twice as it was really bad and changed the oil and stripped out all crankcase breather tubes they where badly gunged up,come to think of it i think the same happened last winter as well.

Road salt mate mines caked in it from using it all year round.Only way around it is to do what a lot of fazer owners do is to lock it away in the shed and take it out of said shed and polish it now and again...

Bike has been smelling of exhaust fumes quite strong lately took oil filler cap off and it stinks of exhaust gases.
Bike runs fine and i have checked the crankcase breathers and all is clear.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Got these on my zrx1200 they are great quality for the money.
Bought loads of gear from china for my bikes and all good,dont worry about customs from china never had any charges ever.America on the other hand is the one you get charged for.

What's the consensus on clip type master links?

When you changed the oil how did it look/smell, was it really thin and runny, did it smell petrolly, my guess is you have a bit of condensation in the crankcase due to short runs with the bike not getting a chance to get hot, I would keep an eye on the oil level, as if it is leaking fuel into the sump your oil level would go up. Drained oil smells of petrol Dirty brown colour looked normal consistency for used oil Oil level has never gone up or down.

Took the crankcase breather and drain pipes off,crankcase breather pipe had a little mayo in it but not much,but the drain pipes where worse,the t connector was caked in mayo and the little black filter with the sponge in was well blocked,anyway have cleaned them out and checked the air filter,little bit of fluid in the airbox but not much smelled like normal airbox smell. Next thing oil and filter change. Drained oil and no sign of emulsion just dirty brown oil,changed filter and filled up with fresh oil. Balanced carbs while i had the tank off when checking air filter. So will go for a blast when i get some time and report back.

Water is a byproduct of combustion and a bike ridden on short journeys only for a period of time will never reach a high enough temperature to vapourise the water and fully burn the petrol, the left over can make its way past the rings into the sump.
To many short journeys can cause what you are describing and you mention a 3 mile journey.
Change the oil and oil filter, then go for a 30 mile spin at reasonable speed.
Exactly what i was starting to think as i had similar on my zrx 1200 a while back, but no where near as bad,but then again i use the fazer all year round (and most journeys are short 10-20 miles so not getting up to temp) Engine was hot today on a short trip do not know why,probably because my engine oil is fecked.  Petrol smell is probably the emulsified oil as it honks. Anyway i cleaned up the clutch casing and mopped up the mess in the clutch area,oil & filter change tomorrow and fingers crossed. Fazerider there is no smoke at all out the exhaust blue or white,bike runs fine. can i mix oils heine gericke10/40 and motul 10/40?

Yep going to change the oil tomorrow dont have the time to look at carbs due to work but will strip them when i get a bit time off.
Anyone know if heine gericke 10/40 can be mixed with motul 10/40 oil?

Coolant is full so no coolant leak..  But what is causing this emulsion build up?
48
« on: 19 June 2013, 07:38:05 pm »
Inside of clutch casing,it is really thick.  Under clutch basket  The smell i think is petrol could be the emulsion as it stinks? Will check the coolant level and report back.

Would that effect the running of the bike? cos the bike runs fine and pulls like a train.

Bike has been smelling heavily of fuel when starting the bike the last few months,anyway due to work not had much time to look at it. Took the plugs out and stunk of petrol,oil filler cap is full of emulsion and stinks of petrol,also went into town on bike 3 mile journey all round and engine was a lot hotter than usual.Stuck finger through oil filler and scraped lots of emulsion on inside of clutch casing,scared to take it off and look now.. Any ideas?
