My 2005 Triumph R3 parked since October sort of froze in my garage (I assume) and it pushed about a half guart of oil out of the engine.
I haven't gotten into it yet because I have a car engine torn down keeping me from it, but does this sound like maybe water leaked into the bike's oil and froze?
Again, it started/happened after a sub zero night in this rented house with an unheated, non insulated garage. I placed a half gallon cup under it and oddly it then pushed it out from closer up front... Maybe Gremlins.
