    Not trying to be mean, but I seriously do not understand what this means, with no punctuation having been used. Is that one question? Multiple questions? ???

    I'm just confused, but will take a stab at an answer...

    Old engines get dirty, you can clean them. If spark is still there, then no need to worry. A post engine will fit into the frame of the pres, the majority of the frame is the same, with primary differences being the mounting tabs for the body work.

    Not sure that answered your question...

        Is it fresh oil? Does it come back after cleaning the wire? Have you cleaned the entire engine and checked for leaks?

        If it's a leak your worried about, clean the engine, and check later for more oil. If none re-appears, I don't think there is a problem. If it does come back, then finding the leak will help to resolve the issue.

            Bikes are the same as cars without all the crap in the way.

            Use motorcycle specific oil.
            90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

              that they are, an engine is an air pump. They take in air and exhaust air. If you get that concept you got it.

              I've taken 1 bike apart to have the frame chromed. It was Bo Jackson's Hayabusa. Are you Bo Jackson? Do you own a Hayabusa? I'm guessing no and no.
