Title: Re: Oil Change time
Post by demtho41 on 04/12/12 at 11:09:37

has anybody had any issues with their oil plug leaking only when it gets warm? when my bike is cold not a single drop will come out, when it heats up though it will leak, not an extreme extreme amount but enough for a little concern, but I just found it odd that it only does it when it's hot, and I know the oil plug I put back in there tight.

Are you sure that it's leaking from the oil plug?
Even the threads are a tight fit and deter leaks.

More likely it is leaking elsewhere and accumilating there.
Check the oil filter.
Also check the torque on the foot peg bolts. oil will seep from the case into those thru holes and if the bolts are loose will leak to.
