      Haha, yes that would help its towards the bottom of the engine on the right side. Don't really have anymore info then that.


      Thanks for the help!!!!

          A picture of what is going on and more information about how you found the leak might help. Have you cleaned the engine and really watched what happened after restarting the bike?

            No, I have not cleaned it up yet. Did not think that it would help just because I can see where it leaks from.. the bottom of the engine where the two plates come together. (Sorry I don't know what its called) If you think I still should I will, but what else should I look for?


            Thanks again.

              If you can post up a picture that would help. There's lots of great wrenchers around here that will surely be able to help.

                If I understand this right, it sounds like your base gasket is leaking (where the cases meet). Someone else more knowledgeable, like Nessism, will probably speak up here but I would start looking for new gaskets. Make sure you get OEM ones even though they are pricey. They'll last longer than any of the aftermarkets from what I have read (course OEM is all I've bought since getting my bike last year).

                  @coyboy Ok, thanks Ive never done any work like that but sounds like this is a very easy bike to work on so hopefully I don't eff it up!

                    One other question I have is.. how does gasket sealer work? is it worth a shot or no?


                    Edit: also anyone have a pdf of a repair manual. or step by step for replacing a gasket

                        Wow that helps! only issue now is these service guild are a bit confusing since they do not have the engine on the bike.

                        Thanks!
