I just purchased a 2009 BR last weekend (10-1-2016). I keep a good supply of oil on hand and the oil in the BR was not pretty, not having an oil filter on hand decided to change the oil only and pick up a filter this week and do it again later (wanted to drive and play a bit). When I drained the oil today It was really DARK (black). Figure I drove it 40 or so miles on the oil only change. No idea as to the total miles or hours on this machine as it has no meter or odometer. Seller said it was low miles. Overall it looks and drives good.
I also changed the front and read differential gear oil. the rear looked just fine but front was milky:-( I looked at both front and rear and can see there is a 1/4' OD breather tube that runs up to separate places on the frame. my guess is that the front breather tube is either compromised or it had been submerged at one time or another. Still have to have a closer look that front breather tube! Any ideas on these matters would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! G
