Oil Leak

My bike is upgraded to stage one. A little oil is seaping out where the breather connects to the cylinder. What causes this?

Re: Oil Leak

If you are talking about where the backing plate meets the cylinder, there is an "O" ring in the rear of the backing plate in a recess that is supposed to seal it up. Either the "O" ring is missing/broken or the bolt is not tight.

Re: Oil Leak

ok the upgrade only about 600 miles old. Just noticed the oil today. I'll see if the bolts are tight. Thank You

Re: Oil Leak

I found this which was posted by glider a while back. It explains everything very clearly.
