Oil leak from the side
Hello Newgen tech,
I'm having an oil leak come from the side of the engine here: I first noticed it when leaning the bike on the kickstand. The bike is normally on a rear stand. Is this a sign of too much oil or a gasket or some other type of issue? Other things I've noticed: -Oil pukes out of the breather filter/recirculation (K&N 0990 attached) when running. Related?

The photo shows the screw-in plug in the alternator covor. As I understand it, it's normal for some oil to be inside that cover. If it's seeping out, that cover is not tight, or something is causing it to not seal properly.
I don't have enough experience with the 250 breather system to offer much there, but from experience with other motorcycles, I can tell you that overfilling the engine or tipping the bike over can cause oil to be expelled. Excessive blowby can too. |

like Jim said it might not be tight or the o ring for it to seal could be bad.

Okay so, it's not a huge deal. Common, even.
Cool. Thank you, gents.

It's normal for oil to be under the cover, but not common for it to be leaking out.
