Yeah I feel like i'm in the exact same situation.  :'( It was nice and clean but after just two weeks it looks like that. You're right, I need to get it nice and clean to see if I can pinpoint exactly where its coming from. Then i'll tackle the plug if that seems to be the source. Just wanted a second opinion since i've only had it for a few weeks!

If you are planning to remove the chrome trims off the head the left front trim bolt also tightens the cover down against the cylinder. If you don't set up a spacer on that bolt you can get an oil leak in that area. I leaned that one the hard way.  Cheesy

Since the Speedo cable will stay on the tank, and you don't want to kink it, prepare a place to set the tank before you pull it off. Yeah, go ahead, ask how I know..



A 20 Litre paint/storage tub works for me.

Thanks for the input and suggestions! I saw another thread where a gentleman was machining new plugs out of aluminum. Is it worth it to get the machined plug or should I go with the factory replacement like this one?

There is no reason to buy the factor part....it will fail again.

Buy the Versy, and be done with it.
