OK, i'm back and with the same problem, the instant gasket didn't work neither did the grease nor anything else. for anyone attempting an oil change you MUST READ THIS! i am now going to tell you why non of the above worked! i didn't keep track of which bolts go where and consequently put them back in the wrong holes! what this did was indeed damage the crankcase, ruined the threads and the bolts and also broke off a bit of the case which is now inside my engine, now, when this 'bit' gets into something important which i am told it will do eventually i hope it;s not something that stops the oil from going through as it will then write off a £2500 pride and joy motorcycle due to my own f*ckin stupidity trying to save a few quid! please learn from my mistakes, don't reply calling me a tw*t because believe me, i already know and am quite literally kicking my own head in! i am going to give myself such a beating that i might actually get done for assault!

not sure what type of grease it was as my mechanic friend gave it me. alternatively i have just redone it this weekend with a tube of instant gasket. it costs arouns £4 and will form a proper seal, also dead easy to use. no leaks now!

Well i got the oil leak sorted. remember, when you change the oil filter and put the new 'O' ring in, you have to grease it up well or it wont seal, hence oil pissing out! simple stuff unless you know how! be really liberal with the grease and build up about a half a centimetre layer. hope this helps

Hi, i changed mine for the first time at the weekend, when you take off that exterior casing with the 3 bolts you're confronted with another 3 bolts inside, remove those and also 2 more further along the casing (towards the front tire) the whole thing should come off now, remember to cover the pipes if necessary and put oil pan down as quite a bit will come out. i changed the oil filter and replaced casing but now have a problem of my own, i ran it for a while and it looked all good however, the next day went on a ride and noticed after about 4 miles that it was now pissing out oil. i have heat wrap on my pipes and it has soaked in and is now smoking like a bloody beagle in a laboratory! and oil still leaking out! i am trying to find a solution, don;t know if you have to grease up the seal or even if it needs a gasket.
