Overflow on bikes? and Oil?

[Louise]

I noticed a few weeks back I was leaking fuel, and I gather a small amount of oil (it was dark on the floor)
Now, checking the bike over today it seems to be leaking more and more.
Its comming out of a tube. The tube hangs down inbetween the Gears and brake. I thought it could be an overflow pipe? As on cars. But, when I get to brighton I normally have less then half a tank so It cant be fuel overflowing.
Anyideas? Also, around midnight it was bitterly cold and the petrol had crystalized at the end of the rubber tube


Other question......

Bike oil light came on. Got some oil, the small 7 quid bottle.... Now, I cant find anywhere in the Cagiva Supercity manual where to put it.
Checked around the bike. Small cap with Oil printed on it... Pulled it out, small dip stick - No min/max line. I wasnt too sure if this was the right place to put it added a small amount, got going.... Everything fine so added the whole bottle.... Oil light still comes on.
Question is, is there only one place to add the oil?
A sad as it sounds im clueless about bike as you can see and help would be gratefull.

Post a pic of where you poured the oil sounds like it went in the gearbox.

Crap pic as this is all i got till I get home... there the black dot is, theres a black cap which said 'oil' on it.

Yeah you've put it in the gearbox. Won't do any immediate harm unless your 2-stroke oil does actually run out. I don't know where the proper filler is on your bike but I'd bet it's under the seat.

In the picture there seems to be a small glass window in the caseing.If
there is then the gearbox oil should be half way up the glass when the
bike is straight up.The oil light will not come on if the gearbox is low so
it must be the two stroke which might go under the seat.

I have the manual, but, TBH its worth shit
Anyhow, found the oil box... its back right of where I sit. Filled it nicely and the light is now out.
I just hope putting half a litre in the gear box wont do it any harm.

Other then that, what about the overflow pipe im on about too?

The filler cap on the gear box that doesn't have a max or min line does have a max line. Stand the bike upright and let it settle for a min or two. Then put the dip stick back in. Offer it up to the threads, but don't screw it in. The oil should be below the line, but on the end of the stick.

Too much and it'll have naff(er) gear changes.

You'd had to put loads and loads in to get it out of the breather. Sounds like the carb is dripping fuel out of the float bowl. Just turn the fuel off at the fuel tap when not using it. If it still comes out while riding you need to take a look at the floats.

If the SC manual isn't really helping, try the Mito one. Or type "2003_OM_MITO125" into google to bring up links for the owners manual which covers all the basics.

I hope you put 2 stroke oil in!
If it were me I would also change the gearbox oil now that it is over full and contaminated.
As others have said, ask these questions before doing things....it saves soo much hassle.
