    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

small oil leak at oil switch assembly

See a couple drops of oil on the oil switch assembly (thing connected to idiot light). the oil doesn't appear to be coming from the cam chain tensioner as it is only on the oil switch assembly. I know there is an oring under the thing but since it is lying on top, can oil come up through that thing? On a Kawasaki if I recall, there is a spring loaded thing under the sender and may be some sort of o-ring inside. I suspect it won't be the large sealing o-ring. has anyone had one apart?
 
There's a round o-ring under the plastic switch bit, and there's a sot of diamond-shaped o-ring under the metal housing for the switch. Either can leak, of course, but they're easy enough to replace and not very expensive from the Suzuki Mothership.

If you feel like oil is coming from or through the plastic switch itself (I guess it could crack or get damaged), it's still available from Suzuki for not a lot of cash -- $16.43 from my usual source.
