ORIGINAL: jakazz
I have read that since the oil tank is above the sump that the motors have a check valve inside them, what happens is the "ball" thats in the check valve gets worn after a while and leaks somewhat. Then when you store the bike for the winter the oil all drains into the sump. When you start her up you get a nice mess on the floor. ......This I read out of some v-twin,..type of magazine... some mechanics on here could chime in though.
