Title: oil leak
Post by nick3501 on 06/19/12 at 14:18:04

yes, another oil leak thread ;D

well just got the bike, it seemed to have a pretty steady oil leak down the left side cooling fins, dripping on to the stator/alternator cover...

looked and traced it back to a 12MM bolt/stud on the front of the engine, beside the exhaust. it was quite loose, so i just kind of snugged it up without torquing it down because im not entirely sure about it.

It is a head stud correct??, and will i be ok just tightening it to factory spec or would i need to loosen all the studs, and re-torque them in sequence?

the oil leak has stopped however

If it's stopped, be happy.

some have put a little thread locker on it to help seal.

I have a 2012 w/800 miles and have an oil leak at the top of motor running down the back left fins. Does anyone know what might be leaking?

Could be the plug cap, or maybe check the headcover bolts, thats where mine was leaking, i was getting little puddles on the idle screw assy
