Allrounder Posted August 1, 2017 Share It sprays a few drops every time that I ride. About 1 liter per 2 tanks. The one guy suggested that I just re-torque all the bolts and nuts. Edited August 1, 2017 by Allrounder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Az- Posted August 1, 2017 Share Top and exhaust. It sprays a few drops every time that I ride. About 1 liter per 2 tanks. The one guy suggested that I just re-torque all the bolts and nuts. Yeah that isn't terrible advice, it may well work. I've often come across the chinese stuff with very loose fasteners in concerning places. I'm pretty sure that Chinese motorcycle Spares in Durban Rd would have one of those. Or the bike/scooter place across the road from them. Worst case scenario..The head gasket is usually a paper one with an aluminuim crush ring around the sleeve so you could very easily strip it and reuse it with any use a good grade gasket sealer.

Allrounder Posted August 1, 2017 Share Thanks Az. I will give it a go over the weekend and update here. (Chinese motorbike spares and Motomapro in Voortrekker road say the do not stock those gaskets. ) Just to clarify, I open her up, clean everything a bit, and then put gasket sealer on the old gasket and tighten her up again?

Wannabe Posted August 1, 2017 Share Before going to all that effort, try and ascertain the proper, correct torque figures for those bolts, and torque them down properly. Quite sure this will solve your problem. Be very careful not to over tighten them. If the problem persists, then go looking for new gaskets, and tighten them down to the correct figures.

-Az- Posted August 1, 2017 Share Just to clarify, I open her up, clean everything a bit, and then put gasket sealer on the old gasket and tighten her up again?yeah that sounds right, give the old gasket a wipe with a petrol rag so the new sealer can get a good grip. Take a photo of the gasket when you get it off and I'll track one for you for next time.(Surprised about the CMS place, I used to get all my gaskets from them) Wannabe and Allrounder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allrounder Posted August 2, 2017 Share 3.3 l per 100 km is fantastic. I heard the GS 650 does 4 liters per 100 as well as the NC 750 Steven Knoetze (sk27) and Let's Ride 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let's Ride Posted August 2, 2017 Share 3.3 l per 100 km is fantastic. I heard the GS 650 does 4 liters per 100 as well as the NC 750 I think for a scooter it's the norm not so? Being so tall I look weird on such a small bike but enjoy the freedom it gives me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
