Suzuki GN125H Magneto oil??

[olanzapine]

Hi Everyone,

In the future I'm going to service my own bike, so I'm busy buying some good tools off the internet, etc.

I was checking the peep hole, giving excess to the centre of the magneto, located on the left hand side of the engine which is No:10 allen or hex key way, anyhow I have a no:10 allen key and so decided to unscrew it and take a look. To my great surprise engine oil came pissing out?? So what I'm saying is:- there is engine oil in the magneto, is that normal? The bike is a Suzuki GN125H

The engine is currently sweet no probs whatsoever.

Cheers
Olanzapine

on the cg theres a oil seal behind the magneto,as oil lubes the timing gears or whatevers there

if its anything the same,maybe the seals gone

Got a pic?

Usually the magneto is not immersed in oil unless this is some new thing I haven't heard about.

Op, from memory I beleive that the gs/gn 125 engines are wet magneto.

The alternator is cooled by oil, if the oil level drops below minimum they will frie the reg/rec!
Common GS problem.

I think the electric start models have a wet side for lubritaining the gears from the starter motor to the flywheel, i will have a look later as there is one in the workshop.

susiki gn 125 is wet coil

Yes I agree, have just checked and they are wet alternator and as already stated the oil is there to cool the coils and it is the same oil that is shared by engine and gearbox so the OP does not have a problem.

Mine doesn't have electric start which is what confused me
