Small Oil Leak was created by clutch
Hey guys,
I noticed a few small oil spots on the garage floor under where I've been parking my bike the other day. Today after I ride I actually saw the drip. It's a small leak that is coming out where the tach cable goes into the engine, and runs down the cable to the lowest point and drips from there. I haven't looked at the repair manual yet, but I'm hoping it's something easy like replacing a gasket or rubber grommet, or tightening the fitting at the engine. Anyone know where I should start?
Thanks,
Clutch

sells the o-rings and the fix is simple using a few hand tools like a machinist scribe to pry the old o-ring out of the housinf and installing a new one.
Some light oil like sewing machine oil will help to make this job easier.
