Just got back from a weekend of very hard riding on the trike. It's got a 1300 dual port type 1 engine and transaxle, did around 700 miles on it, first 250 with #2 cylinder only showing 95psi, then the rest with the engine making very loud clattery noises, using around 2 litres of oil every 200 miles. Had trouble selecting gears on the M6 on the way home. Parked up at home and it did this
Is this a problem

is it a problem? yes indeed.
It might help to change the title of your post as some folk might pass over it thinking you are wanting advice on what type/brand of oil to use, which has been asked many times before. you need advice on what's wrong with your motor.
it reminds me of when my beetle suffered a partial seizure and one of the pistons cracked but was held together by the rings. engine became noisier and blew oil out the breather... _________________ "we're here on Earth to fart around" kurt vonnegut

Yes, it's down to the bottom line, but there is oil on it. |
