I put on a se air cleaner on my 2006 streetbob and run it for a couple of weeks and this past weekend rode 260 miles in the rain and after i got home clear oil seems to be leaking from the air cleaner is this normal? thanks

 

Is it the SE stage.1, or the SE Heavy Breather?

 

I get some small oil spots around my Heavy Breather but it's not so bad. I just wipe it off, but I might be a bit desensitized since my Sportster blew oil like it was the pump, I had a Forcewinder on it and I had to run a line way back to give it an exit. Other cleaners actually point the crankcase vents INTO the carb to just ingest the oil on those.

 

sounds l ike blow by... you may have a bit too much oil in the bike, either that or you pu WAY to much on the filter!

 

Yes it is the stage 1 air filter just didnt know if it was maybe water soaked but it is clear oil and yes the filter seemed oiled heavy when i got it from ebay but it dripping down to the timing cover.

 

i would just wipe it off and call it good... are you running an open air filter... if so get a rain sock for it... that will really help in the rain...

 

Cool....Thanks

 

I had blow by in my "hi-five" AC, the dealer put to much oil in at my 1000 mile service. I do my own now.

I had K&N juice blowing onto my pipes. I learned not to oil it so much. If it seemed over oiled when u got it then I would say its a safe bet the clear oil your seeing is AC oil. Be careful I'm having a hard time getting the burnt K&N juice off my pipes.
