Changed jets and engine problems

[Icculus88]

Sorry I realized my first post wasn't very informative. Leak is from oil filter area.

Long story short I changed main jets and from this change an oil leak now occurs. Oil only leaks when engine is running. Not a drop when it's not running.

OK, trying to get a few facts straight here, so I am paraphrasing, not quoting directly.

Installed K&N pods, ran rich with 105 mains.
I think the stock jets were 100 and you should go up 2-4 sizes with pods, so I don't think it should have been running rich.

I just put in 117.5s.
It was already running rich, so you went up another five jet sizes?

I adjusted idle and she sounded good.
Sorry, means nothing. You can remove the main jet or even plug it up, the bike will still IDLE just fine.

Then I noticed oil on the ground.
Changing carb jetting won't affect that at all.

Gas in the oil?
Only if one of your carbs overflowed and the overflow tube was plugged.

Thanks, you provided no advice!

[Icculus88]

How about disregard the history and pay attention to my issue at hand

The running rich part was irrelevant to this story.

Where's the oil dripping from?

Steve wasn't offering any advice just yet, we are trying to figure out what your story is.

Don't mind Steve - he's being funny.

I suspect the oil is comming from the oil filter cover..yes? There is that oring in the cover and there is a copper crush washer on the sump drain plug.

I think your Oring is bad or possibly got slightly pinched and cut upon reinstalling the cover.

EDIT... I put a little Three Bond 1194 in the cover groove after a good cleaning. This holds the oring in the groove all the way around so it doesnt fall out and get pinched.

I was just trying to make sure which problem you were trying to solve.
With a little more information, advice can be given.

Your ONLY questions were "Any advice? Gas in the oil?". Even you will have to admit that they were rather vague.
And I did offer a suggestion on the second one.

How about disregard the history and pay attention to my issue at hand

History was provided, so a reasonable person would assume that it was there for a reason.

The running rich part was irrelevant to this story.

Then why was it mentioned?

Thanks, Mrbill.

Don't mind Steve - he's being funny.

For once, I was trying to be dead serious, I was just trying to make sure I had the facts straight.

Evidently the facts don't matter, so I am outta here.

ps. I think I remember trying to deal with the OP before, with similar results. I should have learned then.

And Steve, nothing you said made it seem like you were addressing my issue. More like pointing out how my post was riddled with irrelevance. I'll edit the post now.

Chuck's on it.

The main jet change had nothing to do with it.

[Icculus88]

I will totally admit to my first post being vague and uninformative. First morning fog and grouchiness.

[Icculus88]

I know that's why I'm so confused. I put well over 150 miles since I replaced filter and I touch the carbs and this happens. Just don't want to start her up to tune carbs.

Oil leak at filter?

Did you try checking the torque on the 3 acorn nuts?

Does your bike have an oil drain in the filter cover?

You're still not giving is much to work with here
