Hi just noticed oil caked around front left side of engine - she hasn't been out much lately, but with season approaching I want to get this sorted. Any experienced similar?
Thanks Steve I think you may be right bout the gland nut. Sadly can't take it for a run - no MOT - it's tomorro! Will take her then!
Bit cleaner looking now! Hope it passes MOT tomorro then I can get run out then look for some new oil deposits!
Right - finally a dry day and got her out for a run!! Oil leak is still showing :-( My question is what is the large Allen head plug for as I think it is the cause - maybe a failed washer there?? Mr R can u shed any light?? It's the one my finger is pointing to! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
A blanking screw; As the crankcases are common to various models e.g. 900SS/Monster, the ignition pickup cable passes through a plastic gland (like the one to the right) fitted in there.
