Oil Leak?
Hello,
I seem to have a bit of an oil leak and not sure what the remedy is. I have added a pic. It is leaking a very small amount from what may be the sensor or the part in the block? I do believe it is leaking under pressure as it sprays a small amount on the right side fairing. There are also no oil spots on my garage floor. I am not a very handy guy but hope this is an easy fix I can do. |

I changed the oil and filter and lubed and tightened the chain. Other than that none. What is a crush washer?

This is the lower connection of the hose that carries pressurized oil from the lower to the upper part of the engine. On top of that there is a switch that senses the internal pressure of the lubrication system. First, I would wrap some toilet paper around that connection in order to pinpoint the leak: it could be in the hose or in the connection itself. You will need to replace the hose in the first case and get a torque wrench and tight the connection in the second one. The proper torque over there should be 14.5 ft-lb.

The bike does not need to be moving, just start the engine for a few minutes and check above what area the stain is located.
