Replace the stud, replace the oil filler, or the clutch cover, whichever has the problem...
There are no pics, either.

oh man thats ugly.....

sorry for you bro.

you should find your PO and kick him in his arse...

those caps arent that expensive, why hack one up like that???

[tkent02]

Someone before you has ruined that cap, they are cheap, and the same for many years and models, someone here will have an extra for you for sure.
Don't get any metal bits down into the engine, vacuum or blast it with air to get it all it off before you remove it..

She wants to run

That is EXACTLY the bike I am looking for.
Any chance you want to sell it?

Just bought it but I am looking at getting a new DL 650. I paid $1100 + sales tax plus registaration was somewhere around $110
New back tire and 7 down sprocket for fuel economy was another $175 or so.
The bike runs so smooth and the od reads 22000 +-
It all adds up to $1500 for the bike. I would sell it for that if the money was in my hands. It is a great bike and my wife wants it, but I am inches away from a DL 650 so the money would help.
I will have these oil issues worked out this week.

DL 650 is a nice ride.
Where are you located?

[rombi]

20 Minutes from Green Bay.
I could pick you up from the airport....
I will even buy brats and beer.
I would not hesitate to drive this bike to CO and back. It really runs great.
I bought it from the Origanal Owner with 3 miles on the title. He took care of it but I wonder why he skimped out on the oil filler?

[catbed]

you say you changed your back sprocket. did you change your chain and front sprocket at the same time?

[rombi]

Are the studs easy to obtain?
I am not sure how I am going to get the oil plug off. I assume it is threaded? When I turn the bolt it just keeps spinning.

[psyguy]

i would put a blunt punch (or similar) to the outer end of that cap (where it's broken), on the right hand side on your photo, and tap the punch with a hammer, so the cap rotates counter-clockwise

studs you may be able to find at a hardware store that sells metric stuff
make sure you use loctite when you put the stud in so it doesnt come off when you undo the nut that holds the filter lid on
replace all three, they are old

Hi Mr. rombi,

From your descriptions and pictures, here's what I suggest. I hope it helps.

In the picture below, you'll want #10 (PN 01421-06208). You may also want #11 and #12 too.




In this picture, you'll want #8 (PN 09259-30001). I think #9 is included, but you should check to be sure.



Good luck. Just looking at your bike, I was guessing the year. But these parts are the same for most GSs.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
