Hello. Im pretty new to biking. This is my first bike and i recently take a look at the air box filter because i was about to change them and then i saw this. Is this normal?
2006 Road Glide leaking oil from the air filter. Spark plugs covered in oil. Are the piston rings shot?
I got a Sym Fiddle II (that can go 45 km/hr) recently, and yesterday it fell on its side. I was waiting for the light to turn green when my leg got entwined with the strap of my backpack and the scooter fell to its side. Immediately a lot of oil started pouring out so I brought it to get repaired.
The repairman told me oil got into the air filter because the scooter was on its side. I asked him if it would happen again the next time the scooter falls, and he said yes.
Is it normal for oil to get into the air filter just by being on its side? I've had one other scooter before this, and it never happened with that one anytime it fell. This new scooter of mine was bought just a few days ago from the repairman (he also sells scooters).
