Help on a 1986 Honda XR600.
The guy he bought it from was a 25year mechanic at a Honda shop and has gone out on his own for motorcycle repair.
I went back there today to do some finer looking in the daylight and everything looked good.
Tight bearings in the wheels, spokes great, chain needs replacement but the sprockets look great, front fork seal needs replacement, and I didn't see any leaks either.
The compression is strong, and I mean break your leg strong!!!
I popped the plug and it was a nice black to a brown color.
But before I had him start it up, I checked the oil, and to my surprise, the bike was 1qt low!!!!!
Would anybody know how much oil the bike requires?
I can't seem to find the specs on the internet.
The plug did not look oil fouled.... Meaning oily and wet.
So, lastly I will have him start it up tomorrow and will look for any burning of oil out the exhaust.
Does anybody have any suggestions to where the oil could have gone????
I appreciate your help guys,
-Michael
P.S. Talked to a mechanic today about the whine noise from the motor, and he says it could be a bearing, but not to worry about it????
