I've owned my 92 900ss for a few months now. This is my commuter bike so I've already managed to put about 5,000km's on it.
I've noticed a couple of times recently when checking the oil that there appears to be some stuff that looks like mayonnaise in the sight glass. Okay, so I know I'm getting water in there somehow.
Does anyone have some suggestions on where the water is likely to be getting in? Where is the best place to start looking?
Another issue. Last night whilst riding home the bike started backfiring under engine braking at relatively low revs. On the way to work this morning it started backfiring again and intermittently not idling. Seemed to clear itself after a while. Should I be worried? It's getting about time for it's 5,000km service and I'm wondering if this is a sign that the exhaust valves are getting too loose.
