Oil plug / cap repair job parts list?
07/03/07 at 22:23:36
Getting ready to tackle the plug repair, since I can't keep the oil from splashing onto my leg while riding. The '01 has 25k miles and I even tried 20W50 oil, but like I was told on the forum, it didn't work. I went back and gathered all of the threads from the forum (bless you all!) on the repair, but I'm still confused as to the actual parts I will need from the dealer. Do I need to order gaskets for the bolts that are listed as having gaskets? O-rings? Gasket kit? If I tell the dealer what repair I am planning will they know what parts are required? Last question: Would it be asking too much for some kind soul out there to post a recommended parts list with part numbers? Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

Here's the instructions

If your cap plug is bad, good chance you'll need to replace all the rubber up there.
The cap plug, the rubber covered washers, the egg shaped o-ring, the o-ring on the rocker arm, the oval o-rings for the rocker covers and while you're at it... get a spare exhaust gasket. And anti-sieze for all the bolts.
And at 25k, I'd check the cam chain adjuster. So get a clutch cover gasket.

I seem to be heading down the road to having to do this job myself. How long can I expect before it starts leaking again. Not looking foward to pulling this apart but sometimes these thing have to be done.

When I had the plug/cap leak, it was really just a nuisance. It didn't leak all that much and mostly just meant more cleaning. Replacing it wasn't difficult either.
