Hi All, I've been burying my head in the sand, not wanting to post this because I'm sure it's another big bill heading my way, but I think it should be addressed so here goes.
I noticed that my bike is using oil and that I'm having to top it up on a regular basis. There is no sign of an oil leak where I park my bike though.
I took my plugs out the other month and the electrodes had a small amount of oil on them so I'm taking it that oil is leaking inside the engine.
A quick google on this subject in general and all sorts of nasty words come up like head gaskets etc
Is it an engine out kind of diagnosis/fix or is there hope that it could be a relatively "cheap" fix? Is there anything common on a Fazer that leads to this situation?
Piss taking and helpful comments all gratefully received as always
PS if it is expensive, I'm blaming you regardless, Red98 !!!
