Hello guys...

This leak is driving me crazy,,,

Looks to be near the back side of the side stand...

Please see the pics and let me know if any of you have seen this before and if possible a feasible solution...

Thanks in advance...

Two possibilities....

Excessive chain lube or, more likely, counter shaft seal leaking.

I can't imagine the seal for the gear position sensor would be leaking unless someone removed it at some point. Clutch actuation pushrod could be another possibility.

Only one way to find out....remove CS sproket cover, clean area thouroughly, run bike and track down the leak.

Thanks Guys...

I'll remove the CS cover and see,,, I'll be back with some pictures...

For us here in Venezuela it's not easy to think in move a single bolt since there is no any spare available for this bike... everything needs to be bought abroad before the first movement... I'm kind of paranoid with disassemble and then get stuck due to missing parts... but I'll take the chance today after work.

Thanks for your valuable advice..!

The gear position sensor requires just a simple o-ring and the clutch push rod just a standard, but small, seal so you should be able to source locally - I have both available if you can't.
