Quick Question!

Does anyone know what the hole on the left side (Fuel peacock side) on the cylinder block is for?

I don't know. I am curious as well. Never really thought to much about it.


I think the better question is.... Why are your exhaust headers green?

Drain hole for the spark plug wells, that's why it's on the downhill side when the bike is on the sidestand.

I'd check your valve cover gaskets for leakage and replace them if they are. Probably the most likely cause of an oil leak. I'd check the plug wells and clean them out.
