Oil Leak...HELP!
I posted a few days ago about my "minor" oil leak I found, and I received a
few responses, thank you. I haven't yet had the opportunity to take the
front sprocket cover off to check for leak location, I will do that Tuesday
afternoon. My emergency is, that tonight I went to get on my bike after
work and looked at the Oil Level glass sight on the side of the bike. It
showed EMPTY!!!! Yeah, F*&@ing EMPTY! So i put the bike on the center
stand and it went up just a tad, about to the bottem of the glass, enough to
ride it home. So obviously it has been leaking much more than I thought,
most likely when I'm in motion. So, for now I need to know if I can top off
the oil with a different brand of oil, can I mix a different synthetic with
what's left of the Triumph Mobil 1 that's remaining in the bike? No dealer
in town has the Mobil 1 so I will have to substitute it with something else
or ground the bike until I get Mobil 1 via mailorder (not an option).
Keep in mind, I have never tightened the chain since I bought the bike. I
will post more once I take the side panels and sprocket cover off.
Please, who ever responds to my problem, do so asap and respond to my home
email address... mksdouglas@xxxxxxx
Thank you,
