Its literally all on the left side of the exhaust port at the gasket and kinda pools in the exhaust area but there is no oil in the exhaust port itsself

Reply #11 - 08/15/15 at 16:38:02 ignorant, well, inexperienced, maybe you don't think in fluent mechanical thoughts yet, Keep dealing with the bike, and you'll start seeing quantum changes in your troubleshooting and repair. Lots of stuff here, resources to guide, ancient history to read .

Reply #12 - 08/15/15 at 18:48:12 The differences in it being a plug and the factory calling it a cap really threw me off. Atleast replacing it will be easy and straight forward. Might as well get some feeler guages and knock as much as i can all at once

Read up, get setup, do it mentally, know where parts will go before you pull them off. Don't wait for a place to set the tank,,, till its in your hands, petcock Nd Speedo cable,, yeah, bad moment,,
All those bolts?
Head cover outline, cardboard, X cut for each bolt. It's nice knowing you the right bolt.
One's upside down, one must be in when the cover goes on,
Hmmm , I never did the plug... I THINK the head cover comes off?
