Hi Everyone,
I have an NC750X 2017 this year I bought it and I already have 14K on her... love the bike very much. Last two weeks or so there were two occasions where I could smell some burning oil or something, very faint... so I looked tonight under the bike in detail and I noticed 2 drops of oil, on part of the engine like some sort of rundown from a higher up point on the LEFT SIDE of the bike as you sit on it... so in other words on the side that's leaning with the side stand. I am not too worried at this point as it seemed to have been very little, like two drops and it doesn't even make it on the floor - I know because I checked for this all summer and I've looked at it underneath before. It had an oil change recently... do you all think that maybe they overfilled it? I need to learn how to check the oil with the dipstick better but I can never tell it properly, I prefer the window type oil check level.
Anyways, should I be worried? I thought HONDA's are so well put together I shouldn't have to worry about gasket leaks?
Thanks for any input,
Rob
