My oil analysis has shown significant fuel dilution (3.5%) and requires action. I'm glad I got it analysed - not due for a change for another 5000kms.
The lab suggested checking fuel lines, injectors, etc (
report here).
Bike is 09 EFI. Oil is Mobil 1 Racing 4T and only done 2800kms on the oil and filter. The A/F runs between 12.7 and 13.7.
A little research online suggested it may be due to the bike only doing frequent short trips. It's my commute vehicle and does 15kms twice a day (quite aggressively once it reaches operating temp
). I warm it up for at least 3 minutes each morning and nurse it until operating temp - a bit less warm-up in the afternoon.
What do you guys think? How do I check for fuel leaks?
I have a 8000km oil and filter service interval regimen but I may need to shorten that, the gears are starting to get noticeably notch or clunky. I am going to try Rotella T6 diesel oil this time.
