SuzukiSavage.com - Another Oil Leak

ralfyguy Serious Thumper Offline Posts: 932	Another Oil Leak 07/28/12 at 23:03:50 Just a small one, but annoying nonetheless. Right where shaft of the clutch arm goes in the crank case. I really doesn't leak in town, but out there on the highway at speed. As far as I could tell, there is just an O-ring and it is only accessible from inside, correct?

I always had a smidge of oil moisture there in all these years I had the bike. Not even enough wipe it off with a q-tip, but since I switched to T-6 and do highway speeds in 100+ heat, after 30 miles or so there is a trace running down the clutch cover. In town riding does nothing I can tell, even looking real close. 5W-40 is pretty thin stuff to begin with.
I don't plan on yanking that cover off just for that, unless it gets worse, because I had a hard time and several attempts to get the clutch cover itself not to leak in the front, on top near the filler plug. The last attempt was successful and I don't wanna mess with that again.
I got the extended plunger in there in the second hole already and there is no reason to look at it again until the two sides of the cam chain start to meet each other and make noise.

Anyone know if verslagen charges a bit more to install his tensioner? I'm not far from him. If you can't tell I'm not a total wrencher unfortunately. I can do oil changes and carb cleans but not much outside that.

All anyone needs is to see it done once, then, you wont be skeert of it. Heck, Ive been wrenchin on things all my life & I wouldnt do the valves till I hired someone to do it who would let me watch. Ive changed the frames on 2 Ford pickups, fixed copiers & cash registers, just not much Inside an engine experience.. Then, I did the cam chain & cam, these people will talk ya thru, I know, they did it for me. Get a book, get the tools & get after it,.Youll never regret it,Just Always ask if you have the smallest doubt.,.
One of the most ridiculous ways to destroy an engine is put the oil filter in bakkerds. We have seen 2 shops ruin motors for our riders..
