Ok so this is my first bike and I LOVE it but when I went out to ride it today and I checked the oil there is white foam on my oil cap. What is it and how do I troubleshoot it? Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TYIA

Hi friends - apologies if you've had this discussion before - looking for a bit of guidance on an oil leak I noticed the other day. I have an '09 with about 6k on it. It is occurring on the left side of the bike just in front of the shifter and its dripping down onto the frame and the left...

Bike - 2009 EX500 with almost 7,000 miles. I replaced the coolant and oil basically right after I picked her up (she had 4,000, when I purchased it). I was out riding and stopped for some food, when I was looking over the bike and noticed the "gunk" behind the shift lever. I also saw some sort...

Hi guys, I've had an 08 ex-500 for about 2 years. It had 20k miles and I've put about half on it myself. I've done all the work on it myself too and hope to keep that up. That being said, I've noticed the clutch slipping when I accelerate from a stop. If I baby the throttle and keep it very...
