Title: clutch cover side oil leak
Post by: uvukidaviation on July 22, 2011, 04:40:06 PM
Hey i just changed my clutch cover gasket and now oil is leaking out pretty good from that thing that spins on the left side ( generator maybe  :dunno_white:) not sure what it is but it looks like its just flowing past that black rubber piece around it anyone have any ideas how to fix this

Can you take a pic of where it's leaking from?

You are referring to the crankshaft end seal.It's behind the ignition triggers/pickups.I searched Bike Bandit and none of their diagrams show the seal.It maybe one that you have to order a engine gasket kit or complete side cover in order to get it.If there is a part number on the edge of the seal, then a dealer ship should be able to get one using that number.You could pull the cover,check the seal to make sure it hasn't rolled,and reinstall it.Leave all the bolts loose then tighten them a little at a time,in a clockwise pattern, until they are all snug.The bolts don't need much torque.A small drop of blue thread locker on each bolt keeps them from backing out.
