Un-Burnt fuel leaking out
blackkx:
It sounds to me like you have crank seal leak , if your having to add oil to it and its not leaking out then only one other place would be combustion chamber . I would do a thourogh inspection of the oil drain plug area and the case gaskets to make sure its not leaking it out before looking any further . Havent had any badluck with crankseals myself but i have heard they are common problems in the big bore kawi's . good luck

Cheerz - sounds like Broken spoke was onto it earlier as well.
Is there a figure please for gearbox oil capacity ? (curious)
Anyone else in here had this common crank seal problem - just not keen on replacing the seal for it to go again.
