The bike developed a strange leak this past week....
Had it out for about an hour and a half after work. Everything seemed fine during the ride.
Got back to the house and noticed that there was oil coming from the right side engine cover.
It appears that I actually have x3 separate leaks (see arrows in photo below):
X1 from the oil filter housing (aftermarket Heiden Tuning unit w/ Honda style paper filter)
X1 from the factory filled oil plug
X1 from the tach gear housing
I’ve got the tach drive seal and O ring on order from the local Yamaha dealership (have already replaced the copper washer for the tach retaining bolt).
Plans are to pull the right cover this weekend and inspect the mechanism, seal, gaskets, oil pump etc.
Has anyone experienced a similar situation ?
I can see x1 or two leaks, but x3 seems odd. Don’t think it is just X1 leak (could be wrong though) because the cover has plasti dip and it seem to be peeling/ failing at each separate location.
Any thoughts or suggestions what too look for once opened up would be much appreciated.
