I have some green residue on my bike that seems like is coming from a leak from the brake lever? Anyone know what it may be?

Brake fluid? Could also be some ozidation to copper washers that are used in some brake set ups.Last edited by kevin2502000; 07-06-2009, 01:49 PM.Must read for carb tuners......http://www.factorypro.com/tech/tech_...m_engines.html

Copper oxidation would be my guess too... or maybe algae... or some form of wax or metal polish left behind.
No DOT-rated brake fluid should ever turn green under any circumstances.

Fork oil comes in green. Any chance you've got a blown fork seal?

I'm going to reuse this thread. So I was going down the local straight ways where I live and I max out my bike at 142-3ish for a minute or 2. Then we turn off and stop for alittle. Get back on the bikes and hit some nice banked turns. The problem is when we hit the straight ways between each long turn i would try to keep up and max the bike out. but when I got to about 135ish the rpms would start to shudder a bit and I could see the needle going back and forth over 10k. Anyone know why?
I just recently got new spark plugs, new air filter, new semi-synthetic oil, and sprayed the carbs clean w/o detaching them.

In other words... you reached the end of your top end.
