springman Serious Thumper Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 2197 Spring, Texas Gender:	I lost one of my nuts! 05/10/22 at 08:10:47 I think I may have discovered the source of my oil leak. Nut, item 15 from the attached illustration seems to be missing on my bike. Anybody know what size nut that is?

The factory nut for that location has a flat flange on the nut (no serrations).

Clean up the threads on the stud and put a small amount of sealant on the threads and flange when your install it.

This link shows what the nut should look like....unfortunately they are out of stock. (Most nuts you buy at a hardware or auto supply store will have a serrated flange that cuts into the head when installed....you don't want that).

I replace with just a regular nut and after I put it on I thought maybe I should have put some lock tite on it. Rode it yesterday and today but I still see oil. I'll try cleaning it up again and maybe replacing valve cover gaskets. Or who knows what. It runs great, just gets dirty (oily) rather quickly.
