October 11, 20187 yr Not a mechanic so unsure so asking for help. I took the stator cover and found oil in the case. Should this be there or do I have a problem Sherco 290 (05) Edited October 11, 20187 yr by Martin.H
October 11, 20187 yr Unless it's wd40 or something else you have used to clean the bike you have a problem. Crankshaft oil seal and or main bearings are the likely cause. Is the bike running weak / pinking?
October 11, 20187 yr Author Thanks for the reply. The bike runs fine. Will it be a big job to sort out
October 11, 20187 yr Have a look at the Sherlock specific area of this site, lots of info for you to learn from?
October 12, 20187 yr someone may have sprayed some oil in there as a corrosion preventer as they are horrible about letting water in at the cover. if the bikie runs well, start with a good cleanup with some light solvent and inspect the flywheel for up-down movement from loose bearing. if all looks good ride it.
