Having inspected the road surface a bit too close the XJR 1300 came to a halt on the right hand side, gently wedged underneath an SUV that was in front. This resulted in some scratches, a dent in the tank, broken headlight, speedo and rev lost their housing and both sides of the handlebar bent backwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having transported the old girl back to my garage I freed up all the wiring around the handlebar, enter the key and started her up. Thick white smoke and the smell of burning oil and I turned off the engine. The crankcase ventilation seemed to act like a siphon and sucked about 1 liter of engine oil straight up in to the air filter… so that has to come off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Probably from lying on the side after the event engine oil came in to the air filter and then when I started the engine the carburettors turned the whole thing in to a pump and up came the oil. So that all has to come apart, tubes have to be cleaned\/replaced, new airfilter, the housing has to be cleaned… <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My hope at this point is that the carburettors are not completely filled with oil… but let’s see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
