i posted this on the knowledge vault, but i dont think anyone saw it...whats with the thick grease on the back of the derby inspection cover on my 08? http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/384 2/352925.html?1208205348 | ||

That's not grease but moisture in your primary. Check your other cover, it will probably be there as well. | ||

its no place else in the motor or any other cover...like it was deliberately smeared on the inside of that cover...the motor is less than a month old.. | ||

Damnut is probably correct, could be something new for 08, but I doubt it. Moisture will get in through your clutch cable adjustment sleeve(springy looking rubber piece about half way up to the hadlebars). When it gets in the primary it causes a white residue to build up in there. AND it usually happens more a newer motor also. Very important to change your fluids at recommended intervals, if not more. One solution, and the best IMHO, is to take a couple of zipties and put one on each end of the adjustment sleeve. I did a search and came up with this: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/32777/55010.html?1082172390 (Message edited by u4euh on April 14, 2008) | ||

I've had the same thing happen to mine. The first time I saw it I was like WTF is this??? Now I just change my primary oil when I change my motor oil. I haven't had that happen since. | ||

i checked the inside of the motor and not a drop any place but in the cover...the motor is only a month old and usually you only see residue on motors that dont warm up properly and run cold a lot... i ride everyday on country roads and usually not less that 50 miles..oh well... |
