Okay...
i have an oil drip thats getting worse. I purchased the bike used with about 4k miles and it has about 9k on it now. I originally thought that maybe it was the drain plug and the guy over tightened or under tightened it. I ordered an aftermarket replacement, cleaned the oil residue off and changed the oil and it did not fix the problem. I am having trouble figuring out where its coming from. I have cleaned the whole area multiple times and itll be fine. If the engine never warms up it wont leak, however if i take the bike out and ride for any length of time then park it over night or longer I will find a spot on the ground and then there will be oil everywhere again.
uploading a few pics.... any thoughts? suggestions? anything? doesnt actually seem to be a pan leak as far as i can tell.
thank guys!
