Title: inspection cap leak. Post by LS650THUMPER on 05/02/16 at 16:32:26 I went to dealer to get inspection cover gasket.. Front top of engine seems to be leaking. Dealer said gasket is discontinued... "My question is" will red RTV over the gasket do the job. Or just RTV inplace of old gasket. |

Title: Re: inspection cap leak. Post by justin_o_guy2 on 05/02/16 at 16:43:39 Pull the cap. See what the oring looks like. I have a problem believing that a part, IN PRODUCTION, isn't available. But, if you didn't pinch it, you should be able to clean the cap up and lay a bead of rtv in the groove, let it set up good, clean up the oring, lay it in. If it has a nick in it, put rtv on it, lay that side in the groove, and, if the oring is protruding from the cap , put it on. Don't get horsey with the bolts. |

Title: Re: inspection cap leak. Post by justin_o_guy2 on 05/02/16 at 17:18:08 Clean everything up. Lay the oring in the groove, it should stick up past the cap. You can flip it over. Still not sure? Lay a bead in the groove. You can lay the oring in, and level up the rtv. Might wanna wait a day, in a warm place. I think you can get that part. They still build the bike. |

But also check the other bolts on the cover, some have a sealing washer. Those have some oil pressure under them. |

Title: Re: inspection cap leak. Post by Dave on 05/03/16 at 03:21:16 The O-ring gets a lot of heat, and over time they get stiff and shrink.....time to put on a new one. The new one will be round, and it takes a little bit of care to get it in the oval shape for the first time. Suzuki still makes and sells the part...give your parts guy a "dope slap" and this part number.....09280-60004. |
