November 15, 200916 yr looking at my mates bike as it may be for sale. tidy bike just been re-built profesionaly. new main bearings small end and piston rings and carnk seals. it hadnt been started and had a good run in a while i noticed when he started it cold and when it was idling oil was dripping from over flow it stopped and only a couple of mill came out. was out on it the whole day it was sound did not miss a beat and didnt over heat. got it back to his house cleaned it then i noticed coolant dripping form the rad again just a couple of mill. could this be realated and could it be a problem. thanks Jorge
November 16, 200916 yr Possible that after the rebuild the Gearbox oil and Coolent were just a tad bit over filled and are now evening themselves out. With it only being a couple ml. that may be a real possibility. If continues to do it and the bike runs odd or performs poorly, definitely would need to be looked at. Just my 2 cents.
November 16, 200916 yr Wot ZIPPY sez....Yup the fluids like to find their own level after a re-build, should dry up after a couple of sessions.
