| Same here Jools , changed the oil and filter on friday,come Saturday parked the bike up after a 50 miler only to come back to a 4" spread of fresh oil under the bike. checked the filter tightness thinking i had not done it tight enough only to find the oil was coming from some where else,a simular plug next to and above the starter motor on the opposite side,not from the seal but through the metal plug itself ? Need to get another one before the weekend. Wonder if yours was caused by either under torquing or over torquing or just a duff bearing,maybe a good thing you found out sooner and not later on a ride out. 4D |
