Budwiser420 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Posted July 6, 2013 I got a new bike and kicked it over to see if there was spark and some oil started coming out of the rear , thought was a dumb ass and bought a bike with a messed up case then really followed the trail to where it was leaking and there is a bolt missing on the top of the case, underneath the swing arm linkage , I can't post pictures on here for some reason but if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated , I'm just looking for a size on that bolt and also maby a thread size / count ?

lil Doobie420 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Posted July 6, 2013 there is also a over flow back there so if it has too much oil. it will start coming out there as well Quote
Budwiser420 Posted July 6, 2013 Author Report Posted July 6, 2013 I put the allotted amount of oil in there , I really noticed it when I was putting it away goin up the ramp to my shed and it started dripping out. Looks like the hole has threads ? Thanks for the help Quote
lil Doobie420 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Posted July 6, 2013 the overflow has a plastic piece on it ( m8 x1.25) for the upper case and (m6 x 1.0) for the lower. there is a post up here "bolts and threads" got everything u need to know. 1 Quote

lil Doobie420 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Posted July 7, 2013 sorry i couldn't find it again either Quote
Starwriter Posted July 7, 2013 Report Posted July 7, 2013 WTF??? There is no "overflow". There is a white plastic trans vent at the top rear of the case. It is located directly below the steel tube for the rear motor mount. Even if that's missing, the only time trans oil should come out is if you tip the bike completely vertical onto the grab bar. There is no bolt for that vent. The only bolts on top of the case are the case bolts that each have a number beside them, and the bolt that holds the clutch cable bracket down. There are no other bolts. If one of those are missing, there is no way trans oil should be coming out the hole while kicking. If oil is coming out the trans vent while kicking, you may have a leaking crank seal. You better do a leakdown test before you go much farther. 1 Quote

And it's weird oil only comes out somtimesand I've traced it back to the hole below the top swing arm / shock mount Quote
sheerider11 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Posted July 8, 2013 When you pull out the dipstick, is there oil all the way up it? 1 Quote
Starwriter Posted July 8, 2013 Report Posted July 8, 2013 At the top of this pic you can see the white plastic vent under the steel tube for the motor mount. Is that what you're missing? If that's where the oil is coming out... It shouldn't be, while just kicking it over. Now if you stand it up on the grab bar, then, yeah, oil will pour out if you don't have the proper vent hose attached. 1 Quote
Budwiser420 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Posted July 9, 2013 That's the one . Doesn't come out to much but every few kicks / pushing it from one side of the garage to another some will come out . I appricate you spending your time to help man. What do you think I should start off doing to stop this problem . At the top of this pic you can see the white plastic vent under the steel tube for the motor mount. Is that what you're missing?

Budwiser420 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Posted July 9, 2013 When you pull out the dipstick, is there oil all the way up it? Didn't have a dip stick , It was just a plug , but I put the rite amount of oil in it .. Quote
Budwiser420 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Posted July 9, 2013 how can you be sure? Measured it out to what the factory said it should be , and made sure there was no aftermarket cases to make sure I didn't need any extra Quote
Budwiser420 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Posted July 9, 2013 how can you be sure? I dint think it would overflow even if I put 100ml more than needed Quote
sheerider11 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Posted July 9, 2013 I don't even know how much these bikes take. I use the dipstick. I'm usually working off if half full bottles of oil anyway Quote
