I've got oil coming from the air box :-? (see my previous thread: http://www.magnaownersoftexas.com/forums/index.php?topic=1212.0 (http://www.magnaownersoftexas.com/forums/index.php?topic=1212.0)). Not enough to drip on the ground, but enough get on my engine. Is there something that I can put around the air box cover to seal it up like liquid gasket or silicone that won't "glue" it shut? I just want to keep my engine looking nice shiny :D
When I was concerned about an air leak causing rough running, I sealed mine up
with duct tape. I think it would stand up against a mild oil leak, and it is easy to
take back off.
This is actually normal, as the rpm's go up, so does the airborne oil :lol: as the cam chains sling it... There is a black rubber hose going from the valve/cam cover to the airbox, sort of like a PVC on a car (valve cover to air cleaner enclosure).
Pretty much just take some cleaner and a towel and clean it up and keep on riding!!!
I've silicone'd mine. I did it over a year ago, and have had the air box off once since then. It's cleaned up, and no ill affects noted.
Rod...
I had some honda brand semi-drying liquid gasket that has the consistency of teflon tape. I pulled the air filter (cleaned it - K&N) then put the liquid gasket around both the top and bottom of where the air box pinches the air filter. So we'll see how it goes.
A side note, if you put in a K&N MAKE SURE you remove the stock gasket in the airbox lid. It does make a difference.
Yea, I did what when I changed out filters.
