peterb Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Hi Coxy, Sounds like an oil leak from the clutch cover. If tightening the screws does not help, then a new clutch case gasket is needed - easy job. Do not drain the cooling system. Lay the bike over to the left so the gearbox oil stays in, remove all screws and place out in an order so they go back to the same position. Remove clutch cover, careful not to lose the clutch slave needle roller thrust bearing, remove old gasket, clean all mating surfaces and fit new gasket with a little sealant on one side and grease on the other. If you left the water pump housing in place on the clutch cover and did not move the crankshaft at all, then the water pump drive slot will locate without problem. If you do remove the water pump, then you need to ensure that the pump locates correctly with the crankshaft end when fitting up. Bye, PeterB.
