Oil pressure switch

05 Jun 2014 19:14

So i cleaned the bike really well to try and determine were the oil leak is coming from and it looks to be from or around the oil pressure switch. Would a bad pressure switch cause this? its just a little oil at a time but over time it builds up on the engine directly below the carbs and leaks all over the exhaust. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationIf you're sure the oil is coming from the switch (they can leak) you may want to replace it. They are no longer available from Kawasaki, but are sometimes available on eBay (see below), so if you keep watching eBay you may find a good deal on one. Ed

As Ed indicated the switches can leak themselves, but I would make sure the leak is not from the fitting(s) before I went looking for a new switch.
