Oil Leak
Posted: Sat May 14, 2005 12:12 pm
i just picked up a 91 kawasaki zr750 zephyr
It idled fine and ran ok(some hesitation) earlier but when i rode it about 2 miles in the afternoon it just stalled out at a stop(it idled below 1k rpm)
I managed to start it up again and rode it to a friend's house. it stalled out there when i came to a stop. i also noticed oil spilling out from under the air box in the same general area as the shifter. i'm not sure if its coming from the airbox/carb or coming from the engine right underneath it. but there was alot of oil coming out. after about 20-30 seconds it stopped.
This is the first time i've ridden a 4 cylinder bike. i have no idea what its supposed to sound like and what its supposed to feel like. when i rode it there was some hesitation and it didn't feel like alot of power. the previous owner said It needed a new air filter too which explains the hesitation.
I'm not sure where the oil is coming from.
