Possible oil system gasket failure?
03/08/14 at 10:18:40

Hey y'all.

I had let my bike sit for about a month due to some crappy weather, but I noticed after a few miles into my ride yesterday that it was leaking (pushing out?) oil from the place indicated in my picture.

I rechecked the bolts and the o-ring on the filler cap, all seems to be fine. Lookin' forward to hearing y'all's input, and thanks in advance!

Can you tell specifically where it's leaking?

Reply #4 - 03/08/14 at 14:05:48 Yep, I honestly just didn't know what the name of that area was. Forgive me. I just ordered the replacement gasket and started reading the tech section about the cam chain. Appreciate the help, y'all! Now if only this weather were nicer...
