neversaydie Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Been doing some servicing today. When I fired the bike back up, oil was leaking from the filter cover plate, cause I must have nicked the outer o ring when refitting. Im not worried about that as new o rings should sort it., but I also noticed a steady drip from 20 - protector- on the dwg. I dont know what it protects as I cant find anything that fits in the protector in the servoce manual. Im guessing here that there might be a presure switch under the protecto and that the dropping is due to the leaking past the o ring? I never touched the protector so nothing shoukld have affected its performance, whatever it is Can anyone tell me if Im right, and that replacing the blown o ring will also stop the protector from dripping?

neversaydie Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 The drips are from a small hole in the centre of the protector, approx 1.5mm dia, its not oil running from the o ring seal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neversaydie Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 Sorted. New o rings in, no more leaks from the oil filter cover plate, and the bonus was no more drips from the protector. I now reckon that the oil had run down the small cable clip-across the bottom of the crankcase and into the protector-where it then dripped out of the hole. Couldnt initially see this as the protector stands off a couple of mill from the crankcase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
