Title: Oil Leak.
Post by: davidcl on October 23, 2006, 04:28:46 PM
I had my first oil leak today. I cleaned off the bottom of the bike and let it set. The oil seems to be coming from the lip right under where the clutch peg connects to. It drips very slowly right now but I assume it will get bigger soon. Anyone experienced this and if so what did you find it to be?

Thank you.

Did you lube the chain recently?  Otherwise, it could be the clutch rod seal, which is easy to replace, or the shift shaft seal, which you might try to just push in on it to seat it again, or the countershaft/layshaft seal (again, maybe a push).
