Well it started about 2800 miles I started hearing a noise
Form the rear when I let off the throttle.
Then it was constant at about 3500 miles.
I thought I would let it go intil the labor day weekend if it would make it that
far. Not a lot of noise it sounded like the bearing was galled.
I cleaned the engine off with degreaser and washed it off with water.
so far no more oil. It was not leaking bad just enough to make the battery box a mess.
But a small oil leak can be a big oil leak fast.
The oil goes up to the cam by passage that the head bolts goes through I think that is where it is leaking.
The right rear bolt.
Thanks to all for the reply`s.
I will ride more tomorrow and see if it is still leaking.
