[Trygve]

My name is Trygve Klem, and I live outside Lismore, NSW, Australia. I have recently bought a CB 750 SS 1978 model. Which I have started to sort out the various areas needing some attention. When I opened the dynamo cover where the stator is, some oil leaked out. Is there supposed to be oil in there. (as you can guess, it's a long time since I have owned a motorbike.

Hello from all in the UK.

I don't think that a little bit of oil under the alternator cover is bad or uncommon.

You will probably meet more Aussies on or sister (global) site: www.sohc4.net - if you haven't found it already, it looks the same as this (uses the same software). Use the same username so that we all recognise you!

Thanks for the info. I have had the stator checked and it needs rewiring

Thats very unusual as they are extremely robust and normaly only get damaged by accidents
