Oil In Stator cover.

On the big fours when the bike is on the side stand the oil comes up almost half way inside that cover. I don't know about the others.

That may also be true on the twins. On the center stand, though, there was only a residual amount when I pulled the cover (which has been years, so memory could be fuzzy.)

we have already determined that the big fours have oil in there. We are trying to find out in 400s have oil in there.bj

Is there supposed to be engine oil in the Stator/dynamo cover of a 75 kz400d? I saw some dripping so I took the cover off and there was probably 6 ounces in there. Anyone that knows, please let me know

Is there supposed to be engine oil in the Stator/dynamo cover of a 75 kz400d? --- YES, according to the engine oil flow chart. This being as suggested by loudhvx.

This first drawing shows oil entering #14 starter motor clutch.

The oil flow chart in the following post shows more clearly an arrow depicting oil flow into the alternator area.

Good Fortune!

Note arrow pointing to interior of alternator cover.
It's a little difficult to see, but it's there.

Again, for those whose spectacles aren't at hand.

The red arrow is pointing to the black oil flow arrow.

Nice job Patton. That pretty much settles that.
