    I finally got my XJ650 turbo started and now I have an oil leak that is dripping off of the left exhaust pipe at the low point right where it connects to the engine. as far as i can see there isn't any oil on the pipe until I get to where the leak is coming from. I will be checking the spark plugs to see if the oil is coming in through the valve seals. It only leaks when it is running and a little right after I shut it off.
    Also, what is the best engine oil weight for the turbo?

    I used to use 20-50 Castrol.....Now I use 15-40 Rotella....both are good choices but you know how the oil opinions can be.

    The plugs were clean. I drained the oil and I suspect that it was because there was way too much oil in the bike. So now I move on to the next couple problems.
