Here's why you should consult a professional mechanic:
* Safety: Blowing oil out the exhaust can be a sign of a serious engine problem. Attempting to fix it yourself could be dangerous and potentially damage the engine further.
* Expertise: Mechanics have the knowledge and tools to diagnose the problem accurately and perform repairs safely. They can also provide you with valuable advice on proper maintenance practices.
* Warranty: If your motorcycle is under warranty, having a certified mechanic diagnose and fix the issue will ensure that your warranty remains valid.
Possible causes of oil in the exhaust:
* Damaged piston rings: Worn or damaged piston rings can allow oil to seep into the combustion chamber.
* Valve stem seals: Worn or damaged valve stem seals can allow oil to leak past the valve stems and into the combustion chamber.
* Cylinder head gasket failure: A blown cylinder head gasket can allow coolant to mix with oil, which can then be burned in the engine.
* Overfilling the crankcase: Too much oil in the crankcase can create excessive pressure and force oil into the exhaust.
I recommend you:
1. Consult a reputable Honda motorcycle mechanic.
2. Describe the problem in detail: When did you start noticing oil in the exhaust? How much oil is being expelled? Are there any other symptoms?
3. Provide your motorcycle's model year and mileage.
4. Follow the mechanic's advice carefully.
Remember, your safety and the health of your motorcycle are paramount. Seeking professional help is the best way to address this issue effectively.
