Afternoon all, has anyone had a stronge smell of petrol in there engine oil when they have change it ??

Not that I can remember no, I change my oil myself every 4000 miles and all seems well.

Had it before with carbs providing fuelling, suzukis' with vacuum taps are the classics, but never with fuel injected bikes. Sure you haven't got a puddle collecting somewhere from a leaky pipe or union?

Most likely a leaking injector...we've had reports of that occasionally on the GTR/C14.

Welcome along Duncan, nice to see you posting on here.    

I've never had fuel in the oil, well not on a modern bike anyway, as has already been mentioned it could be a faulty injector, what mileage and which model bike do you have  ?

If the oil level increase and goes unwatched it can have the same disastrous consequences as too much oil. Keep a keen eye on oil level and fix asap.
