Title: oil leak? Post by Neilap on 05/13/15 at 08:17:41 well I noticed just now (last day I rode I was stuck in traffic on a hot day) I have an oil leaks of sorts. the whole rear of the bottom end as well as the sides are covered in oil and road grime. I checked my oil level and its at the low mark from its original mid mark. but there is no oil under it and I warmed it up to see and no oil either at operating temp. I guess it just overheated and pee'd its self a bit? |

Title: Re: oil leak? Post by old_rider on 05/13/15 at 17:19:30 Are you missing an "O" ring on your oil cap? As George Takei would say "Oh my!" guess you need a stud for that pipe flange. |

Title: Re: oil leak? Post by Neilap on 05/15/15 at 11:51:16 thats what im guessing. where the oil residue is, the seal is protruding a tad bit |

Title: Re: oil leak? Post by verslagen1 on 05/15/15 at 12:17:43 1 is either the speedo cable seal or the clutch lever seal, oil from either walk around the same area. 2 is probably the oil fill cap seal 3 is probably the head plug |

Im willing to bet its one of the first two. The clutch lever has the most residue around it. And nothing is leaking from the head |
