    Oil leaking out of Gear indicator harness mounting location..

    I try to solve my gear indicator problem today so i follow it all the way back to inside my sprocket cover near the chain... I unscrew the two little bolts and unmounted the "pod" and right were i took it out a slow steady leak of my motor oil starts to come out! if i put it back in it doesnt leak (atleast for now ill find out next time i go in there because i wiped everything down..) Is there an O-Ring for this i didnt really see any but everytime i wiped oil just kept comming out.. is this to lubricate the pod or something? i think this leak is why im getting an "8" for my gear all the time i cant imagine this leak would be normal!

    If you look on one of the various on-line parts fishe you will see that there is supposed to be an O-ring seal on the indicator switch. Sounds like you need a new one.

      Lean the bike over to the clutch side so the oil runs away from the side you are working on or drain the oil. It will only take a few minutes. Get a new "O" ring as Ed says and fit it all back together once you have cleaned all the oil away. Check it works OK before refilling with oil.
