Xvs650 classic 2010 I went for a ride and when I got back I shut down the motor and rolled into my driveway I thought I picked up a nail cause the sound only appeared on full rotation . Checked NO nail. I stripped the rear end of the bike and had a look at the oil level in the diff and that was ok, rear brakes ok, shaft that connects to engine ok. so I grease up the rear again and put it back together . Took it for a test run today and after a 250km test run and I still have the same issue . any thoughts...?

When checking the oil, get the engine warm (not hot), let is rest for about 10 minutes and then check. This will allow the oil in the engine to flow back into the resevoir.

Hi and welcome to FixYa,
Initially, pls try recharging the battery again. Remove the connector to the voltage regulator. Start/run the bike. If it lasts more than "3-5 minutes" then you have just confirmed a defective regulator. The voltage regulator would look something like below image.
This page may give you additional insight.
Just a start, do postback how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.

With the oil problem I read on another site that Yamaha did that so that excess oil would be burned up in normal running (but this was usually smaller amounts). Anyways they disconnected the tube going to the air cleaner and had tied up in such a way that any excess oil would land on the chain thus lubricating it. But if you have that much oil coming out it could be that you have put in too much.

It very likely coming from the banjo bolt that retains the lube line that feeds the top of the engine. Remove the spark plug cover and check the tightness of the large bolt you will see. I have seen this problem a few times.
SOURCE: There is an oil leak around the bolts that hold in
Hello,
The oil you are seeing may very well be from the bike sitting. I have worked on many bikes that have had similar problems. The oil bypasses the rings and gets forced out the top of the cylinder. Once the bike has been used for a couple of days, sometimes a few days longer, the rings expand sealing the cylinder and thus no more oil. It would be a good idea to examine the cylinder bolts too to make sure that the oil is not leaking from the cylinder head.
When a bike, or any motorized vehicle or tool, sits for an extended period of time, parts that are supposed to be lubricated by the motor running will dry out or shrink. This can cause a decrease in engine life and costly repairs. Always try to start your bike, even if you don't ride it, and let it run through the warm up procedure everyday.
Even if the oil leak stops on your bike, you should still have the exhaust leak fixed. Grab the exhaust pipe, when cool :o), and see if you can feel any slack by pulling on it. I would spray a penetrating oil on the bolts, let it sit overnight, and then try to tighten, or replace, them yourself.
Regards,
Oz
